HOW WE FIGHT BACK:

1. Protest till the cows come home, look for protest in your area, then all able bodied people should show up!!!!

2. Boycott as many companies as you can that are supporting the Fascist Party through their political donations. Never buy a Tesla, stop using X/Twitter for starters. I have a updated list of companies in this episode. Use https://www.goodsuniteus.com/ to make your own list.

3. E-mail/message any Republican Senator or Congressman that you think has a resemblance of a backbone and tell him how you feel about these important issues.

4. If you can afford it donate to the organizations that are doing the legal fights.

5. I hope we never have to get to this option because it's the worst option of all, which I won't mention here. "Freedom Isn't Free" Vietnam Veteran

The protest are starting to form by "We The People" but we are going to need help from our Senators and Congressman. One protestors sign said "Democracy Is not a Spectators Sport" I have to agree!!! https://bsky.app/profile/50501movement.bsky.social

All the Democratic Senators and Congressman should be organizing a protest to be held in their individual State Capitals using their constituents as the voice of the people. The dates may vary for each state and the weather has to be a consideration. These Representatives need to march with the people and show a sign of unity. Sitting around and voting yes or no is not going to cut it right now. The impact could be tremendous.

This message should to be sent to our representatives to enlighten them!

I don’t think the situation in Europe is anything like some sort of WWI or WWII scenario.

It will be an economic conquest. Although

Russia isn’t as advanced and as large as the

G7 - they are part of the BRICS which now includes Indonesia and others can’t wait to join .

This puts Russia in a stronger position than

I believe many people think .

If we get Muskstangnation - which is easily forecast , our own situation will make it even more difficult to try to help Ukraine.

But right now - I agree with the concept of doing everything we can to support Ukrainian

Independence.

Can we start pointing out to the MAGA cult that thinks Elon Musk and DOGE are doing God‘s work right now and cutting massive spending that there should be zero talks, and I mean zero, about increasing the debt ceiling come March?

Expand full comment

Because you know it’s gonna be republicans this time that are asking for it. Which is absurd. I want to plant the seed of doubt in MAGA’s brains ahead of time but need a big voice to do it lol

You know when I think the elephant in the room regarding Elon Musk and what he’s doing. There are companies that do audits, whether the Ernst & Young or or others they have internal auditors, procedural auditors of which I’m assuming Elon Musk is neither.

So not only does he not have unofficial auditing agency going through the departments normally auditors meet with people inside each department to find out what they do what the processes are and look as what could be streamlined and what can be eliminated… This is at best a Jerry rig?

This is like having right wing cyber ninjas come in to review voting procedure procedures .

I would demand a professional auditing agency come in and do this .

Just sayin

Not just the leadership, the entire party from precinct to RNC. I think Eisenhower and Reagan's party is dead.

Oh, long dead.

I agree. The GOP are bunch of lemmings. They should withhold pay until they stop abdicating their responsibility and vote to a fascist felon, rapist, violator of the constitution.

If he wants to do real estate deals..go home to the white boys club. Seriously?? Wtf!!

I noticed Murdoch sitting in Trump’s office last week looking like something from a Weekend at Bernie’s. So many horrible people involved in Trump’s camp. I can understand why the world is overwhelmed - it’s going to take some time but I like to believe good will prevail eventually?

A great deal of what musk is trying to accomplish thru all of the database accessand information he can obtain is to put out spin and false information to make everything look like the Democrats stoled and the Democrats doled out money to things they shouldn't have..etc. I'm reading it everywhere about how musk has already uncovered the truth about agencies getting paid, money being doled out to Democratic parties and new sources... The lies will build reinforcements for what he is doing. Honestly, it is a propaganda machine that is currently very successful. And it's not going to stop. The cult is far too deep and far too sick to snap out of it now.

This administration isn’t doing anything for the American people, they are doing everything for a few corrupt people. Trump perpetrated the biggest fraud on the American people.

Correct

Why would anyone appease Trump, thereby making him bigger, more important, than he is? He cares for no one but himself. Everyone should ignore him ...

Expand full comment

Really think that calling him out as corrupt and weak is smart and true. Good points

Expand full comment

People were saying that when he really started campaigning in earnest but the media powers that be just couldn't do it. They are as complicit as any politician. Power and $$$$$$ are very strong aphrodisiacs and once people get a real taste they are addicted.

"We" have given our power to these people. I see posts on YouTube all the time, particularly the MAGA folks and as long as a guy as the money, they will accept ANY kind of behavior. It's all OK. That kind of thinking is difficult to fight against. We have to keep trying and working, there is no alternative.

Adam you made a very good point that there may come a time when scotus makes a ruling and he doesn't listen.

Scotus is vulnerable and foolish. He will neuter them the moment they are if no use to him.

Adam, thank you for this channel... podcast...whatever you call these sites on Substack. Listening and looking at senators FB pages today, two posted the all nite congress session and the 30 ish lawsuits out there right now. One of them talked about this is a coup and democracy is falling...I didn't know if we lost our democracy today, or what. My question: what do these lawsuits mean for the current situation? The judgement to halt the buy out, and another to get Musk out of the treasury, which of course, the damage is done. The lawsuits around the country that are against this admin, what do they mean?? Do any of them mean that 47 will have to discontinue what is happening? All 47 democrats voted no on Vought. Does that mean anything?? The republicans can still vote him in since they have the majority?? Actually, I found this show the most optimistic news of my day, so I am grateful.
