Yes!! I’ve been married to two narcissists—one overtly malignant and the other a covert narcissist. Have studied and been in therapy to recover. And what about Dr Bandy Lee and 40 other psychiatrists who diagnosed big T with psychopathy!!
It is blood chilling and *very* disturbing to watch. The black shirts in 2025 just doing what brown shirts did in 1930. Apparently one man stepped in and was zip-tied for doing so. I literally felt sick watching it. She has raised over $100,000 for legal fees. And mainstream media is covering it.
Thanks Lynette! Glad to know you are there. We’re fighting in Boise and elsewhere too! I’m tired. At 81 I’ve written letters to our Congress people, Biden, Garland, on and on for 4 years. What amazingly BS replies I’ve received, but I worked in a Congressional office in my first job so I know how that goes. I’ve got 3 more ready for tomorrow’s mail-much more blunt concerning Trump’s Zelenski lies, Musk’s slash and burn etc. My long term strategy. Take a nap and get back to it. I will NEVER GIVE IN! I will NEVER GIVE UP. My America is being raped, pillaged and burned before my very eyes. Every day a new desecration by this lunatic and his henchmen people!
Adam - you are among the leaders here. We don't have time to waste. With Trump taking over the military, he will invent a "national crisis" (Musk can help with his cyber stuff) so he can declare martial law and stop any and all resistance - shutting down protests, lawful resistance media such as this, etc. Since you are a leader, a strong commission of real effective spokespeople need to unite and get the attention of the American people and GOP Congress now - A national address covered by all media - showing how little time we have before Trump destroys our right to vote and selling us out to the Russians - facts before the entire nation - like a State of the Union from the real patriots of this country. Organize and lead this with people in power who have a voice: Pritzer, other Democratic Governors, really effective congress people, lawyers, former Presidents - but a true leadership commission with the power to be heard, seen and believed to stop this nonsense now - before it's too late.
As are his Republican minions (and many Democrats) who share in that dangerous behavior by staying silent, going along with the insanity and thereby are complicit in the illegal actions of the muskrat.
I know, WTH happened to Fetterman?? The way he insists on dressing is awful enough—he went to an inauguration like that FCO! 🤦🏻♀️ But he is crossing a dangerous line here. I don’t trust him anymore.
Likewise Mari. When Fetterman came on the scene he seemed like a no nonsense kind of politician. I fear he went to mar-a-lardgo and drank the kool aid.
Thank you for your Post today Adam and your words of encouragement!!!Yes I agree with you-we need to fight back!!! Thank you Adam for standing up to the MAGA cult leader and his cult clan!👍👍❤️🤍💙
The ones that need to hear this are the R's in congress. How can they possibly ignore the lunacy that's overtaken the executive branch, which now is behaving as if it's the whole of government? The moron thinks he can make and break laws, ignore the judiciary, do anyting he wants. This is nothing new: "L'etat c'est moi" (I am the state) came out of the golden time of Louis XIV. We can take little comfort that Lenin modified this famous aphorism to "L'etat c'est nous" (we are the state). Sounds better, but we know where that got Russia. This crap has to get stopped.
Can you believe T-Rump actually requested this by the US Army Chorus? I’ve listened to it over and over. Guess he doesn’t know what finally happened to the King, Queen and all their rich followers. Ironic.
Les Miz is my favorite play This song is so rousing. No, I can't believe agent orange requested it. I doubt he has any clue of the context, of what it means.
Actually I'm hearing the way people are swamping the phone lines we're serving notice in red states that something is up and that people are watching. We're making them nervous, and they're waiting to see if the flood stops, so it's important to keep the pressure up.
when everyone calls, they jam. there are groups that send out emails to tell people what to call on each week. They even give scripts to guide on what to say.
202.224.3121 Congressional offices. Listen to voice prompts to reach who you want. You can call as many as you want, doesn’t just have to be your rep or senator. And say you’re a Republican constituent and you do not like what’s going on, what they’re allowing to happen. And say you’re a Democrat constituent and you don’t like what’s going on with them also!
Go to town halls in your area, for Republican and/or Democrats! They must know this is not America, these are not our principles!!
It’s simple; start by not shopping on February 28th. Buy what you need on the 27th. Call your senators and your US Representative to express your opinion. For instance , I told my Senator: Medicaid serves the POOREST of the POOR citizens. We should not be cutting Medicaid (or Social Security or Medicare)!!! Start with these actions!
The one thing that is (slightly) humorous is the accusation that Zelenskyy is a 'dictator.' If he were, Trump would love him and kiss whatever bodypart was presented.
Or is it possible that the DODO (initial letters of what he repeatedly said he planned to be: D-ictator O-n D-ay O-ne), and the king of flipflops (and unrivaled for that title but no other kingship), is now flipflopping? Sounds like now ''dictator" is an insult instead of what everyone in the DODO's narcissistic universe longs to be?
The biggest lie of all: Dictator for JUST ONE DAY!
he said Dictator for 1 day and it is now over 30 days
HE lied again or did he mean a Dictator for 1 day and a DICK for the next 3 years and 11 months?
Damn he is ugly. LIES up the wazoo. Why doesn't just 1 reporter say
""Herr Trump mein Fuhrer and KING, isn't it blackmail again that you are doing to the UKRAINE?
You did it 7 years ago and are doing it now. And Zelenski did not tell the world that you blackmailed him then. He covered up your crime and now you are fucking him?
How much does PUTIN have on you? You are indeed an ASSET for Russia and an ASS for the USA.
The KING should be a Burger KING and a big Whopper or a LIAR. He smells like one when he passes gas. Why don't reporters comment on that?
Trump still can't stand people bringing up when his father put a bowl of mashed potatoes on his head. He'll go ballistic with the PRESS and TV commenting DAILY and HOURLY on his obscene SMELL and ODOR. PLEASE do something.
You're right...we can't wait for Republicans to get a spine and resist this Fuhrer Wannabe...everyone should simply get under his skin...challenge the bully at every turn...call a spade a spade...this will make him fall off the cliff. His head is compared to 'A BAG OF PARROTS and SCORPIONS'...so I say add a few more SCORPIONS!!
We have to remember that Malignant Narcissism is an illness and he belongs in a padded cell where he can do no more harm. The question is, how to facilitate humanely getting him where he belongs? For all that he and his henchmen act inhumanely, we must not stoop to that level. And how on earth can we start to dismantle all the evil he has put into place and rebuild with honor to the Constitution and integrity?
Trump operates by the law of the jungle - kill or be killed. Where in all of human History has such a man ever been "facilitated humanely" out of power?
Get real, stop living in a fantasy. Terrible things are occurring and terrible measures will be needed to stop it.
I believe in a better way to live than what we generally see these days. I don't believe in fighting terrible things with more terrible things. There have always been those who wish to live above the law of the jungle. Our Constitution did not come from the jungle. It came from minds that rose above that level. Good and evil are on a pendulum and it's time for that pendulum to start to swing back to the good side. Whatever happens, I will never go over to the dark side. We can indeed reshape our country humanely, and plenty of people will hold to that ideal.
Our Constitution did not stop HItler. Lots of soldiers, lots of guns, lots of bullets stopped him. Ideals are what you have before the murderer is inside your house.
What we need at this moment, more than bullets, is idealistic and intelligent leadership. No amount of bullets will get us out of the current situation. On the other hand, ideals and wisdom just might pull it off.
I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Brilliant and fearless leaders directing those guns and inspiring those who wielded them were more important than anything else. Sometimes violence is inevitable, and it may indeed be inevitable today, or very soon. But it will do no good to fight violence with more violence unless high ideals and humanity guide one side of the fight. And our Constitution, which I believe stems from the highest ideals, will only ever be as strong as those who choose to uphold it.
Adam ! Thank you for your reference to mental health experts. Dr. Bandi X Lee and her colleagues have been warning about DJT since 2017. Perhaps you were part of the conversation when she was meeting with Congressional leaders before the APA silenced her? I've been emailing and calling my State reps and Senators pleading with them to ask for help from Dr Bandy Lee and her colleagues or the mental health community. To quote Dr. Lee p.4 in her book entitled "The Psychology of Trump Contagion An Existential Danger To American Democracy And All Humankind" and I quote, "as I have warned , racism is not a political ideology but mental pathology in politics". Everyone here please consider subscribing to Dr Lee's substack. I am a paid subscriber and join her Friday zoom calls. Adam, PLEASE will you invite her on as a live guest and interview her? Ty for your prior service to our Country and for all that you are doing now. I respect your J6 stance and am eternally grateful. I just shared your sunstack post with all of Dr. Lee's subscribers and asked them to subscribe to your substack if they are able. Please let us know what else we can do. We have weekly initiative calls to spread the word about the need for mental health experts to be consulted during this time. Sincerely and gratefully, Anne Marie
Thank you Adam and for the videos. They help 💪 to encourage us. It is up to us to light a fire under those that refuse to do their jobs. We will win. Nobody can stop the people if we unite. Find that one thing you are passionate about and hammer it home with your other people. Resist ✊ I’m in it to win it. The stakes are too high.
BTW--is there an effort to support the R's "whenever" they stand up to Trump/MAGA? Perhaps if they saw positive letters/calls/some money in their coffers "whenever" they do the right thing, maybe it would pour some steel into their spine? We know MAGA's go crazy and issue death threats, but if the weak-kneed politicians could see they are getting support from the "normal people" when they show a little courage--it might help? Just a thought!
I like that thought! Only problem is that they must stand up to trump/maga at least one time so that we can reward them! AND, we can only reward them if we know about it if/when it happens!
agreed--I'll have to recheck-but I think Tillis finally did, by calling out Putin after cowardly caving in to vote for Hegsworth, --maybe a little guilt?
If we had a "watchdog" to let us know when any of them "inch" forward and send out a news blast where we could commit to calling/writing/donating?
I don't know...but MAGA is so quick to threaten and be the loudest voice!
I'm a behavioral therapist--to change behavior you have to LOOK for the GOOD and reward it each time to see any change ;)

Yes!! I’ve been married to two narcissists—one overtly malignant and the other a covert narcissist. Have studied and been in therapy to recover. And what about Dr Bandy Lee and 40 other psychiatrists who diagnosed big T with psychopathy!!
Great referral, Nancy. This is a seminal work on malignant narcissism.
Thank you for mentioning Dr Lee and book!
Our Democracy is under attack!! Trump and Musk are not Presidents or Dictators their Tyrants!!!!
Looking for a vocal resistance leader: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez may be "THE ONE" also Jasmine Crockett. Their stirring things up right now!!!

It should be illegal!
Ummm and let’s not forget Muskolini in that category either!!
Muskolini is a new one for me--ha ha; I love it! And yes, I think a strong case could be made for him as well.
It also appears, just from the way he talks, that he might be in early stages of dementia.
You are not wrong re: the cognitive decline.
I'd like to see his score on the PCL-R. (Psychopathy)
There's a shortcut to say all that... RAPIST.
Perfect score for “Leon” as well. We are doing what we can. Even in very Red District of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Keep up the good fight.
saw the video of Teresa. Typical of Neo-nazi. Hilter did that to people who tried to speak the truth.
It is blood chilling and *very* disturbing to watch. The black shirts in 2025 just doing what brown shirts did in 1930. Apparently one man stepped in and was zip-tied for doing so. I literally felt sick watching it. She has raised over $100,000 for legal fees. And mainstream media is covering it.
She should get a top lawyer to sue the town, the state and the country.
Teresa??

Great idea! Jump on this, Adam
And the king has a court jester to keep him entertained. Sadly, this jester is dangerous.
As are his Republican minions (and many Democrats) who share in that dangerous behavior by staying silent, going along with the insanity and thereby are complicit in the illegal actions of the muskrat.

This will be part of the coming plan....make their life hell
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start

....the words from a song from Les Miserables???
Les Miz is my favorite play This song is so rousing. No, I can't believe agent orange requested it. I doubt he has any clue of the context, of what it means.
I’m not sure how to be heard in an all red state. Help!
Actually I'm hearing the way people are swamping the phone lines we're serving notice in red states that something is up and that people are watching. We're making them nervous, and they're waiting to see if the flood stops, so it's important to keep the pressure up.
I wonder if there’s any way to coordinate an effort to jam phone lines?
when everyone calls, they jam. there are groups that send out emails to tell people what to call on each week. They even give scripts to guide on what to say.
Where to find them?
202.224.3121 Congressional offices. Listen to voice prompts to reach who you want. You can call as many as you want, doesn’t just have to be your rep or senator. And say you’re a Republican constituent and you do not like what’s going on, what they’re allowing to happen. And say you’re a Democrat constituent and you don’t like what’s going on with them also!
Go to town halls in your area, for Republican and/or Democrats! They must know this is not America, these are not our principles!!
And look things up on the internet, too.
INDIVISIBLE is a great place to start. Adam’s “Country First” is another.
https://indivisible.org/
It’s simple; start by not shopping on February 28th. Buy what you need on the 27th. Call your senators and your US Representative to express your opinion.

This is a great article Adam! I like the way you list all the points so clearly so people can understand and also give ways to take action. EXCELLENT!

It is! My mistake! It is Fitzpatrick!
Keep telling the truth, Adam. Truth shall set us free.
