The key difference for us as a nation though is Congress…. The members of Congress bear enormous responsibility to protect the people, and great blame if a wayward, evil, corrupt President is allowed to thrash his way forward.
With a conservative majority in Congress now, I don't see them doing much to curb the kings whims. We have to mobilize and end their majority in the midterms!
Thank you Adam for all you do to mobilize us and inspire us!
Pat, I think we need to start now! We can't wait until until 2026. We need to scare the Hell out of the Republican Congress. They need to see mass demonstrations, sinking poll numbers clearly showing that the "king" they fear is nowhere near as scary as the American people.
Right at this historical moment we actually don't really have a Congress or Senate but we do have a cabal, a monopolized group of Republican appease who lick Trump's boots as they worship him.
My husband & I take part in a protest group (about 300 people) that lines the streets around our town’s Federal Courthouse bldg. every Wednesday afternoon for 2 hrs. Everyone makes their own signs & stands wherever they want on the curb. (This was approved by the city before the first protest a couple of months ago). It’s amazing how much support we get from people driving passed...honking, etc. Everyone has different slogans & issues on the signs., and a small group leads “chants” at various spots along the route. Most of the protesters are senior citizens....,of course, being a weekday afternoon. But they are there every week...they are furious at what the government has become. And, since WI beat back the big $$ from Musk trying to buy our Supreme Court seat a few weeks ago, the crowd is really fired up!
TELL OR COPY AND PASTE a email or message: "Trump’s approval at 100 days is lower than any president in at least seven decades and if this nonsense continues you will never get another vote from me again" Send to all Republican Senators in your state and Republican Congressman in your district. And keep sending over and over again!!!
And that’s exactly why we cannot let our electeds have a moment’s peace. Use the 5 CALLS app every day to make your voice heard and spur them to action.
We need revolution before then. Democracy won’t last another 100 days and I don’t view that POS as a king. I view him and his administration as the enemy within.
it came in the form of a desperate middle class that only sustained itself by putting the spouse to work
and at least one member of the family probably held a second job as well . We lowered our expectations slowly but surely over that 45 year period because we were unwilling to admit that our standard of living couldn’t keep up with prices - -
AND the simple truth that our corporate leaders were willing to sacrifice us to hit earnings per share
metrics imposed by Wall Street elites and outsource our jobs to
maximize profits - - all the while inflating the company metrics by
buying back company stock
( which incidentally played nicely into their own stock options )
It didn’t make the evening news
- because we went broke slowly
- then suddenly.
The fool on the hill is merely the result of economic forces that we visited upon ourselves through greed and myopic behavior.
He is not a king. He is not even a man. He is a wantabee king and a destroyer. He has bran flakes for a brain and knows nothing about our Constitution or about Democracy. He is a lunatic. He's a mobster, cheat, liar. We will fight him with the truth against his lies. We all know that a lie is coming out of his mouth every time he opens it. If those lies had to be transported back into his mouth, he would explode because his body wouldn't be big enough to hold all of them. He is not going to turn our Country into his kingdom. The Senate has to wake up and pay attention. Everyone who can get in your Senator's face and tell him/her how you feel. Tell them to do their jobs. Tell them to quit lying to you. Tell them why you elected them. Tell them what tRump is doing to our country, since they seem to have their eyes closed. Try to get them to hear. I don't know if it will do any good, but try. I don't know if it is possible, but try to have enough people with you to voice their concerns. Since they won't hold town halls and are not being accountable for what they are doing and not being the voice of the people, maybe the town halls can go to their place of business and confront them with their voices and concerns in an orderly manner. Not like tRumps Jan. 6th confrontation, but peacefully and with dignity. Did you see what he posted on his flatform today about Canada's election and becoming the 51st state. How crass. But what do you expect from this man, that calls himself our president? I call him a traitor. God Bless and God Bless America.
I want to chain myself to my house rep’s office door. She represents maga and its emperor, not her constituents. Not even her maga constituents, if they would only open their eyes.
Stelladona~ Hope this helps ~ Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony in which the speaker says one thing but means the opposite, often spoken with a mocking or critical tone.
Being a supplicant, or suck-up, to the odoriferous king must be a truly humiliating experience, but hey! It saves money! Right, ABC? Skadden Arps? Paul Weiss? Who's next? Paramount?
It is. It’s also freaking pathetic. Little, insecure, grasping wh*res, all of them. I will never understand how people allow fear of their “king” to strip them of their integrity.
Well expressed, Adam. Exactly what’s going on in the Oval Office. The mad king has surrounded himself with a bunch of unqualified court jesters and sycophants, and he’s having the time of his life at the country’s expense. I hope our fellow Americans continue the protests and legal pushback so we can right this floundering ship.
Of course, Adam, you have hit that nail again! But perhaps we can gain sustenance from Churchill's famous words. "Americans will usually do the right thing......after they have exhausted all other possibilities". So......are we there yet, or do we have to trudge through more of this. And, I will welcome the glowing warmth of a red-hat bonfire.
The planet of the apes. The trumpanzees hate the foreigners who make the things that fill their homes. They hate the "illegal aliens" who harvest the food that fills their bellies. Their orangutan king keeps them hating the humans of the world, but maybe some will evolve into humane form and cast off the orangutan king.
Dave Chappelle had a funny rant about the iPhone, along the lines of, Build the iPhone in America? So it will cost $9000? We don't wanna work that hard. I just wanna use 'em, not make 'em.
I don't appreciate the position they're trying to put the Ukraine in. I might want to get ugly about that soon.
Who would have ever in a gazillion years thunk that Rubio would be the nekked emperor's bottom boy? With all that money. Probably more money than the emperor.
Maybe he already has clogged arteries. Stifling a yawn. Watching news, waiting, keeping my head on straight.
Your extended family on the nice side, someone who would give you the kingdom to rule if he could - now or in the future,
I never doubted Trump's greed, mendacity and abject pettiness, not for a second. But I still remain taken aback at how quickly these strong captains of industry and trade fell to their knees, ready to wheeze and grovel, to whisper sweet nothings about the Emperor's beautiful new clothes, all for a chance to get a Golden Ticket of sleaze and corruption.
To quote Barack Obama, you didn't get here by yourselves, supplicants. Others made it possible for you to make money for your shareholders. A strong civil society, healthy and independent educational institutions, an unfettered press and (gasp) economic regulation, strong barriers between private and public --- all have played their part in allowing you be where you are.
To not see that, but lose yourselves in this miasma of short-sighted greed is to play the part the dumb, sclerotic, psychotic anti-Christ in the White House wants you to play. Bring him gifts of gold and you will still lose your own country, all while winning a seat in hell when your time is up.
What I find amazing is that the FBI, ICE, and so many other agencies are doing this vile crap to American citizens and fellow human beings. I would quit before being associated with TRump's Waffen SS and Gestapo. They are using the exact same tactics as Hitler. Complicit because I was following orders??? I think not!!
You remind us that complicity isn't just occurring among business elites, but within universities (hello, Columbia?) the civil service --- IRS, State Department, Health and Human Services, Medicare, Medicaid. Unfortunately, these people either cannot or will not do what Bill Owens, the Executive Producer of 60 Minutes, just did.
They are coming for all of us with integrity, who are capable of resisting them. It is up to us to decide what we will do about it.
The way all of these companies—and those law firms, my god!—are cow towing to this monster is despicable. He is playing this game for a reason. And if they would all just act like Americans who believe in DEMOCRACY and not kiss his big fat A, he would be forced to back down on his own because it would get bad, very bad and the people would be fed up and would let him know. LOUDLY. His “leadership” tactic is to bully, bully, bully until he gets his way. The same way he did as a “business man”. It disgusts me how they are more concerned about their stock market shares than they are about the tenets of our nation.
And this pull he has over his cult followers; it’s incomprehensible to me. I would love to address how we unbrainwash the propagandized. Talk to some psychiatrists and/or psychotherapists who specialize in this sort of thing. Maybe you can do a video with someone.
The key difference for us as a nation though is Congress…. The members of Congress bear enormous responsibility to protect the people, and great blame if a wayward, evil, corrupt President is allowed to thrash his way forward.

Thank you Adam for all you do to mobilize us and inspire us!
The Congress is not conservative. A true Conservative would never tolerate Trump's behavior.
Correct. Sadly, they are cultists now.
Yes indeed, they are now "radical far right revolutionaries." There's a severn-letter synonym for that word salad: fascist.
Congress is bought, sold and scared stupid.
Pat, I think we need to start now! We can't wait until until 2026. We need to scare the Hell out of the Republican Congress. They need to see mass demonstrations, sinking poll numbers clearly showing that the "king" they fear is nowhere near as scary as the American people.
AGREED!!!
Totally agree! Thanks!
Totally agree!
Right at this historical moment we actually don't really have a Congress or Senate but we do have a cabal, a monopolized group of Republican appease who lick Trump's boots as they worship him.
They lick something more than boots
Yes, Congress must step in and do their part. They are our representatives. Stand up and have a spine. Our Democracy is worth fighting for!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What you said! That’s exactly what our congresspeople should be hearing from us. They need to be more afraid of us than they are of him.
We all need to keep calling and writing and marching - exactly!!!

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting!!!🏋️♀️& 🏋️♂️

Agreed! How do they sleep at night???
And that’s exactly why we cannot let our electeds have a moment’s peace. Use the 5 CALLS app every day to make your voice heard and spur them to action.
Exactly! They are not doing their jobs. “Advise and consent” .
From your mouth to God’s ears.
We need revolution before then. Democracy won’t last another 100 days and I don’t view that POS as a king. I view him and his administration as the enemy within.
The revolution will not be televised-

I speak for the whole world, he's the enemy of humanity.
Off we keep calling him a good king doesn’t it help him p promote his assumed king status? Everything you all title him as king I am physically sick
I only call him a king sarcastically.
I can barely bring myself to call Charles Windsor by his royal title. The UK should hire a bunch of actors if they want pretend pomp and circumstance.
Think how much good the Windsor billions could do if returned to their rightful owners, the people of the UK.
It is said with sarcasm, but I get your point.
Idk understand and recognize sarcasm but they say it more than anyone else
Stelladona~ Hope this helps ~ Sarcasm is a form of verbal irony in which the speaker says one thing but means the opposite, often spoken with a mocking or critical tone.
Snore
Agree with all but the last sentence. Hardliners will NEVER accept reality.
Reality has a way of forcing itself upon the deluded.
Being a supplicant, or suck-up, to the odoriferous king must be a truly humiliating experience, but hey! It saves money! Right, ABC? Skadden Arps? Paul Weiss? Who's next? Paramount?
Couldn’t agree more! Their behavior is shameful.
It is. It’s also freaking pathetic. Little, insecure, grasping wh*res, all of them. I will never understand how people allow fear of their “king” to strip them of their integrity.

The Gestapo and Waffen SS and their families were respected...........and feared. I think that needs to change in this overthrow attempt.
Our representatives and senators do little or nothing. Are they so afraid of Trump, or of low-information voters? lb

We just need the nonvoters to vote! Get them off their butts and into the democracy fray.
Forget about MAGA's. It is an absolute waste of time, breath, brain power, energy and focus.
Totally agree.
