Instead of worrying about all the sh-- that can happen, which is an endless morass, I'm writing judge Aileen Cannon today to ask why she is delaying Trump's classified documents trial, one of the two federal criminal cases against Trump. We deserve a trial before the election. She is making it ridiculously complicated and lacks understanding of the basic laws involved. I'm telling her to get on with it, or if she is not competent or biased toward Trump or both, to recuse herself. I'd like to see some positive actions from folks on this site rather than all the hand wringing about stuff we can't do anything about!
Wow Bob, your word carries a lot of weight! Aileen Cannon ruled today after you posted this!!! Would you write to trump and ask him to withdraw from running 😊?!?
Seriously, thank you and please keep up the writing!
Judge Cannon's ruling was only not to dismiss the case after Trump's request to do so. She has tried only a few criminal cases and appears unfamiliar with the laws pertinent to this case or she is biased toward Trump or both. A Massachusetts Federal Judge stated she appeared to be way over her head and was surprised that Jack Smith hadn't asked for an Appeal Court review, as a prelude to having her removed. That would be one more delay in favor of Trump. If you want to do something constructive write Judge Aileen M Cannon, United States Federal Courthouse, 101 South Highway 1, Chambers 4044, Fort Pierce, Florida 34950, and let her know that the American people deserve a trial on the charges before Trump before the election. I was, in a former life, an Army Intelligence Officer, and I can tell you that if I had done 1/10 of what Trump did with those classified documents I would have been Court Martialled and gotten 20 years in prison.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 100, 500, 1,000 PEOPLE ON THIS SITE WRITE TO JUDGE CANNON AND REQUEST SHE ACT ON THE PRE-TRIAL MOTIONS AND SET A COURT DATE BEFOFRE THE ELECTION FOR THIS IMPORTANT CRIMINAL TRIAL! She has been on this case for 10 months with very little to show for it.
I have written the letter and it will be in the mail Monday! I used some of your words and the rest just flowed! Thanks for that! Hopefully many others are writing also!!
I liked this article for the information it gave me. I don't like it because I have been super worried about all the polls.
Adam, you might have already addressed this, but could you please sometime write an article about what trump could possibly do, and the effects/affects it would do to the everyday lives of our country.
The Jan/Feb special issue of the Atlantic was devoted to the various horrors that might unfold during a 2nd Trump term. A great cast of authors, writing from a wide range of perspectives.
An article like that would be extremely depressing for those of us who already have a good idea of the disaster that a 2nd Trump presidency would be. However, it could be exceedingly beneficial if it would be presented to the general public -including right wing media. There is a 1st amendment protection for political speech after all isn't there? Therefore right wing media cannot legally refuse to carry the message. The message needs to present truth based on facts and quotes in a respectable way that doesn't include name-calling or hateful remarks. Trump and his surrogates are using that protection to flood us with texts spewing hate and division while seeking contributions. Shouldn't saner minds do the same thing with a focus on the general public and right wing media?
His father and his uncle must be rolling in their graves.
I don’t understand why people are so willing to cut off their noses to spite their face. Is it so difficult to see the dangers another Trump presidency would bring?
I did see a few recent interviews of RFKJr supporters who overwhelmingly said if RFKJr was not in the race, they’d go for tRump. 10% undecided, 15-20% another 3rd party and the rest for MAGA. They were conducted at a few locations on the night he announced his VP
choice. But still….. I wish his family could muzzle him and get him out. Pardon my language, but he’s fucking batshit crazy!
Isn't it amazing how much batshit crazy is running around amok out there! Not the first time though; I remember when Joe McCarthy was running around calling everyone a Communist and investigating there grandmothers. This time now feels much more serious and dangerous to me.
That's because it is Bob. I've never been more scared in my life. I live in Indiana. I have a little more hope because one of our Senators refused to endorse him this year but still refused to come out for Biden. We must just keep working our hardest to defeat him and stop the crazies!! Keep the faith!! ❤️🇺🇸💙
This is becoming more and more disgraceful as the days go on. I agree with you, Adam, 100%. I fail to understand how this is all happening, how there is such a disconnect, how the United States of America, can be so close to a 2nd Trump term. It defies logic.
It does defy logic, but unfortunately a lot of people don't make decisions based on logic. They make them on emotions, and when emotions are continually stirred and lies continually repeated, some people begin to believe it, and that's where it gets dangerous. Adam cited a number here - Orban, Putin, and don't forget Xi and Kim Jong. They all have one goal - total control of government, industry and the people, and the way you do that is continually wipe out any opposition through prison and assassination.
What is needed is an ad that educates those voters who have no clue about how third party voting helped elect their opponents. And it needs to be run continually in all areas of the country and on Social Media.
It is difficult to comprehend what is happening in our country as more and more crazies come out of the woodwork. I was 13 when JFK was assassinated. A few years later, Bobby was also assassinated. These events had a lasting effect on my generation, yet many in my age group seem to support the current political nonsense. All I can do is try to help others understand the dangers we face. Rome was a republic for almost 500 years, then Julius Caesar declared himself emperor for life. He was followed by Nero and Caligula among others . What will happen to our country if Trump declares himself president or dictator for life? Will history repeat itself?
It's entitled ego plus he's a grifter. Not all the Kennedy's inherited great wealth. The NYT did a piece on this dangerous saboteur explaining how he rakes in the dough from his causes. For me, he is one of the most disappointing and bizarre aspects of this whole nightmarish period, as I really admired his dad when I was a kid.
Right!? There is stuff that needs fixing, but this is not the election for that. First we need to save ourselves from tRump. I have used a flight analogy before. You get on a plane and they tell you put your oxygen mask on first, then help others. Biden is our oxygen mask. Because if he loses no one will breathe free in the US again!
Adam totally agree but recent developments all seem to be going in Trump's favor. More dramatic action steps are needed. There needs to be a major visibility campaign featuring well know national figures respected by the Magna folks who live on Fox news and Newsmax. There must be folks with the money to fund such advertising campaigns on these media outlets that explain what Trump would do to our country. I know the problem is reaching these folks and convincing them. I would hope that decent people like yourself, Liz Cheney, the Kennedy family, well known entertainers and athletes could help. When the future of the greatest country in the world is at stake dramatic action steps are needed.
No, it would help him. Third party voting is the absolute dumbest thing anyone can do. That is why Republican donors are backing RFkJr. Imagine RFKJr handling a pandemic.
I’m thinking of friends/family that won’t vote for Biden under any circumstances so it leaves them a choice of 1) Trump 2) RFK Jr or 3) stay home (as some have said they will do).
Given Trump is the worst of the worst choices, I guess I’d want them to stay home.
I know RFK Jr.’s family is appalled by him running as they are big Biden supporters-anyone who helps trump in any fashion is a complete idiot-just like he is!
Thanks Adam. This is an outlandish situation. I followed and supported Robert Kennedy Sr. His compassion, logic, philosophy, and integrity were miles removed from what we are hearing from his son. RFK Jr. has not enunciated anything that adds value or policy options to the public. He, as you say, has zero chance of winning and he knows that. This is either a warped play for notoriety, or represents some, as yet unknown purpose. How about VP for Trump? It is absurd, and deplorable, but so is his presence in the race and the potentially disastrous outcome. The name will draw, but only among the older, ignorant part of the electorate. Unfortunate and a total shame.
Thanks everyone terrible typo… one i suspect will be repeated, and hence the concern. It’s fixed!
That’s ok Adam we know which Kennedy you were talking about!👍
For about .1 nanoseconds, I thought “Q was right! Junior’s ALIVE!!!” It’s 4 days after Easter, Adam. AWFUL timing for that typo.

Jill, I liked that issue much. I read it digitally and went out and bought the mag and read it again.
Thank you! I appreciate it.

Most likely which is why this election is so damn important.
I have a feeling RFKJr fried his brain during the 70s. He’s mentally damaged.
It's entitled ego plus he's a grifter. Not all the Kennedy's inherited great wealth. The NYT did a piece on this dangerous saboteur explaining how he rakes in the dough from his causes. For me, he is one of the most disappointing and bizarre aspects of this whole nightmarish period, as I really admired his dad when I was a kid.
“…he can “fix this country,”…
Where have I heard these words before?
Right!? There is stuff that needs fixing, but this is not the election for that. First we need to save ourselves from tRump. I have used a flight analogy before. You get on a plane and they tell you put your oxygen mask on first, then help others. Biden is our oxygen mask. Because if he loses no one will breathe free in the US again!

Bobby Kennedy was a martyr. I saw it happen. Why didn't RFK Jr grab the torch and carry it like his father and uncles did?
Yes, his entire remaining Kennedy family is against him. He alone is on the right track?
The Republicans use attack ads. The Democrats need to use one of their own: Do you want the raving lunatic for President or the sourpuss lunatic?
I suspect there are staunch Republicans who hate Trump, who lack the decency to vote for Biden, but might vote for RFK Jr.
That would hurt Trump, no?
No, it would help him. Third party voting is the absolute dumbest thing anyone can do. That is why Republican donors are backing RFkJr. Imagine RFKJr handling a pandemic.
I’m thinking of friends/family that won’t vote for Biden under any circumstances so it leaves them a choice of 1) Trump 2) RFK Jr or 3) stay home (as some have said they will do).

Doubt it.

Trump would view RFKJr as a PR problem due to his voice.
Isn't it likely that he's being supported by the Trump cult in exchange for a Cabinet spot?
JFK Jr. is a joke
But a joke that is not at all funny 😒
He is more like a nightmare!!!
