When you take office on January 20th, 2029, please select an attorney general who will actually investigate and prosecute everyone involved in illegalities under this administration.

Bryan T's avatar

I vote for Leticia James 💪

John Kloc's avatar

You mean an attorney general who doesn’t take campaign contributions from someone under investigation for running a scam university? Where’s the grift in that?

I can think of several.

We have to remember to keep a close eye on Trump. Mary Trump has repeatedly said that if he thinks he's going down, he'll try to take the rest of us with him.

It's Come To This's avatar

There's more to that than people are talking about. A reminder that during the week preceding Nixon's resignation, Alexander Haig had the nuclear football disabled, so Tricky Dick couldn't suddenly decide to end it all for all of us as well.

LYNN COOK's avatar

Haig. is but a long gone memory, ICTT ...

Who will safeguard this country NOW ...??? The Military ???🤔🤔

It's Come To This's avatar

I hear there's some drunk wandering around the Oval Office sometimes -- named Kegsbreath or something. Perhaps he can help.... 🤪

LYNN COOK's avatar

ICTT.....with great respect & warmest good wishes..., my dear gentleman...

Bite your tongue !

😂😂

The "football " is still in use. I hope someone will be like Haag in Trump and and disarm the football !!

Jeffry's avatar

Just watched A House of Dynamite and shuddered when I thought about who would be making nuclear decisions on our behalf

Typical spiteful, sadistic, bully MO there.

Similar to the devil in Rev. 12:12 where he is tossed out of heaven to the earth,

… and therefore ‘woe to the earth’ because he knows he has just a short time left.

Beyond labels's avatar

That's exactly what I sense he will do. And as he has the DoD in his pocket, what might that look like? Scary

Christine Tachner's avatar

Hitler, trapped in his Bunker at the very end, railed that the German people had failed him and deserved to be wiped out. Narcissistic collapse is always directed outwards.

John Kloc's avatar

He tried the last time

SGJones's avatar

Yes, Trump is on the way down, and it's time for grave concern...given we know he's the Captain of Good Ship America...and he'll be the first one off to be sure.

He doesn't believe in the Captains Oath, that being "SAVE ALL BEFORE EMBARKING", this parallels his belief in the CONSTITUTION...an OATH HE SWORE TO PROTECT...being the PRESIDENT...so take note SCOTUS...he's NEVER been acting in an OFFICIAL CAPACITY...so he deserves NO IMPUNITY...he's just a common man who is a criminal, is corrupt, is a sex offender [this before the Epstein Files are released fully] and he's not a kind man but a vindictive one. He's stripped the Civil Service, the Diplomatic Service and has installed INCOMPETENT, VENGEFUL and SINISTER PEOPLE to the TOP RANKS.

Again SCOTUS, understand HE'S NOT SERVING THE COUNTRY he was ELECTED TO GOVERN...so with all this I should think "YOU", "THE NINE SUPREME COUST JUSTICES" best IMPEACH HIM FOR TREASON...then TAKE STOCK OF HIS INCOMPETENT CABINET and SYCOPHANT REPUBLICANS...before they all HEAD FOR THE HILLS...becuase if "YOU" "SCOTUS" don't 'STAND ON THE THE RIGHT SIDE HISTORY'...."YOU" best HEAD FOR THE HILLS as well...WHY "YOU" MAY ASK? Because "YOU" will be seen as NOT SERVING THE PEOPLE or the CONSTITUTION. The CONSITUTION "YOU" WE'RE SWORN TO PROTECT!! You will be seen as 'COMPLICIT in this TYRRANY'...so don't put yourselves in this position...and you will have served to resurrect 'Faith in The Justice System' given you have chosen wisely.

We might just anticipate some surprises with Samual Alito and Neil Gorsuch.

I'm afraid there may not be much hope for Clarence Thomas as he is compromised.

I have faith that Ketanji Brown, Elana Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor will vote with a clear conscience as they have served the People and the Constitution well!!

Having done bit of research, there are 3 JUSTICES that stand the best chance of UNDERSTANDING THE TRUTH and VOTING WISELY...it just happens to be 3 AQUARIANS: Amy Coney Barrett [Jan 28th]; John Roberts [Jan 27th]; and Brett Kavanaugh [Feb 12th].

You see Amy and I share the same birthday...and so being an Aquarian... I know that we typically SEE THE BIG PICTURE a LARGER PERSPECTIVE... that's why it's ultimately important here...as 'DEMOCRACY is ON TRIAL HERE'...it's THE BIG ONE...it's AMERICA ON THE BRINK of FALLING INTO TYRRANY...so I believe these 3 Justices will 'STAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY'...ie not the Right Side of the Political Spectrum!!

Just a Canadian looking in, this perspective hopefully similar to your own...so I wish you well America!!

Maureen Spitz's avatar

Roberts is the main instigator and guardian of Donal Trump, MAGA, and the big dark money and crazed far-right religious and racist theories behind Project 2025. He gave Trump full immunity. You should not count on him.

SGJones's avatar

You may be correct, that he won't switch sides...depends whether there's thread of integrity left on this Darth Vader?

One must still be hopeful that SCOTUS doesn't save Trump...otherwise I think you're all looking down the barrel of an impending Revolution...and then we'll greet you all at the 49th!!

David Holst-Grubbe's avatar

The spineless GOP enablers won’t do anything until voters make them pay. And that payment is just beginning. I hope somebody in the Dem party figures out how to create posters of Epstein with whomever the GOP candidate is the Dem is running against - Epstein holding hands with the GOP opponent will be best.

Al Draycott's avatar

Thanks Adam: Trump is busy threatening or intimidating his GOP member to take back their signatures and vote against releasing the Epstein files. He is laying low. I believe he has got about 50% of the Project 2025 done . Check out the "Project 2025 tracker" More coming soon.

David Skoglund's avatar

And we will revearse all of that Project 2025 crap as soon as Trump is gone.

Nancy Bainter's avatar

Ohhhh, oh boohoo for the guilty, definitely depraved, crime covering MAGA-GOP Party. They have reached the depths. Let’s see if there’s any change, eh?

It's Come To This's avatar

Apparently, in one of those "Republican" emails, Epstein says of Trump in 2017: "I have met some very bad people. None as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. In other messages, he described Trump as "maniac" showing signs of "early dementia" (as reported in Ann Telnaes's Substack, summarizing a Guardian report).

When the world's scummiest of scumbags refers to you as not possessing "one decent cell" in your body, it's a sign that perhaps you shouldn't have voted for the scumbag for President.....TWICE IN A ROW.

Nancy Bainter's avatar

And the GOP/MAGA people in the CONGRESS?

Becky Breeze's avatar

Really… pretty scary stuff in an almost secular way when you think about! Good vs evil…. Pretty damn evil! 👿

Charles221's avatar

I didn't. Once was enough!!

Steve Beckwith's avatar

How can Trump possibly make it for three more years without a body double? Oh, and a brain double.

Robot Bender's avatar

I don't expect him to. His failing health won't last that long.

Mari Wilson's avatar

That’s what I’ve been saying since January 20th.

Beyond labels's avatar

And then what? Vance? Eek....

Mari Wilson's avatar

Yeah, but if you wanna talk about someone even less popular…

Chahagen's avatar

Probably the plan all along.

Jay Jay Eh's avatar

Could Vance be MORE insane & destructive than Trump?

I suspect Vance would also want to distance himself from Trump just enough to survive … and he wouldn’t feel the need to bend the knee as much. But I wouldn’t place any bets.

Beyond labels's avatar

That is entirely possible, that VAnce would want to distance himself. The problem I see with that theory is the puppetmasters behind who ever is the president running the show. Vance is in the VP seat for a reason. If we think everything that is happening is singularly Trump, I fear we would be mistaken.

Kristie's avatar

I can't help believe that there is someone behind the curtain trying to tell trump what to do. Part of me thinks that they've been hoping he'd screw up and get impeached because then they would have Vance to be their good puppy. However, I think Vance is weak spined enough to be afraid to do much to get into trouble. He likes to think he's mr. bigshot but I honestly don't think he's got much of a back bone in him. Up to now he's been lucky enough to hide behind trump.

Jay Jay Eh's avatar

There are definite enablers & influencers all along Trump’s rise to power & keeping him there — but once he’s IN power there is a huge ‘power imbalance’ & now - according to the GOP & SCOTUS - a president can do almost anything he wants!

— None of them have any problem with throwing ‘dispensables’ under the bus when they’ve reached their expiry date … that’s how Trump keeps them in line to date & they know it — so we already *have* a King!

— After setting the precedent it’s just a matter of changing ‘the Occupant’ of the throne … unless it’s a Dem prez, of course! 🙄

Gigi's avatar

His entire cabinet and group of thieves needs to go out with him.

Kathleen's avatar

Unfortunately, significant damage has been done. It will take years and maybe decades to reverse his decimation. Additionally, we cannot forget the people who enabled this disaster.— he did not do this on his own. We need to put those who have been facilitating this disaster on notice. We will NOT forgive or forget. They are in office to support their constituents. Clearly many of them have failed us and continue to fail us - all the way to the point where they are shielding pedophiles!

Release the Epstein files!

Sheila Schwanekamp's avatar

Thank you Adam for this comprehensive summary. I also watched The Last Republican the other day and so grateful to you for your courage and sacrifice for our democracy. Everyone needs to watch this documentary and be reminded of the horrible violence of January 6th and remember who is responsible for the uprising to try to defeat our democracy. We will keep our democracy if we all stay strong as you have. Thank you very much!

Christine Heinrichs's avatar

Thanks for this summary of administration destruction, Adam. We’re keeping track and will reinvent services when government changes. I’m concerned about the 2026 election, but resolve is building. Some Republicans will decide to oppose Trump. The Democrats who gave Republicans a supermajority in the Senate will be replaced. Better days coming.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

I’ve decided to let myself feel very cautiously optimistic.

Kat Hudy's avatar

Me too, very cautiously for sure.

MzNicky in East Jesus, TN's avatar

Thank you Adam, as always, for your clear-eyed breakdown of these issues. I for one will never forget the disgraceful treatment of Zelensky by these despicable WH creeps.

Kari Gunderson's avatar

This is an impressive list of havoc, harm, destruction, cruelty, & utter incompetence.

I'll hang on to this post to draw from for my weekly phone calls and/or emails to my

Congressional delegation who are all on board for tRUMP/MAGA agenda. Their loyalty/servitude to the tRUMP regime is first and foremost, and they forget their constituents they were elected to represent. Duh!

Kat Hudy's avatar

I have the feeling many will start responding to their constituents better in the near future. Tho, I still feel that they are too cowardly to remain in their positions come 2026 and beyond.

John Kloc's avatar

Now, the Democrats should put aside their differences, form a united front and attack a common enemy. Mind you, I’m not holding my breath.

Kat Hudy's avatar

I’m all for that. United we stand, divided we fall.

Ric's avatar

They are absolutely in "bunker mode" now and weaker than ever. Time to force this nefarious regime to deal with multiple fronts and for us to confront these desperate and devolving losers incessantly. They can't survive an overload like that, no way.

Yes, the "dynamic" has shifted. Now, or never, basically...

Paul Schlotthauer's avatar

It never ceases to amaze me that these things are actually happening--and at the highest levels of government. It's as if we're a tin-pot dictatorship instead of the strongest and most successful democracy in the world. What other president--Democratic or Republican--would have been allowed to get away with all this? I've no doubt that if any other president had dared to do what Trump has done, we would have had not only another impeachment but also the first conviction in our history. That man and his cronies belong in one place only: jail. And yet still they reign. Trump was right about one thing: his doubts about getting into heaven. Yeah, Donald, I think you're on to something there.

Lucille Sanchez-corea's avatar

I totally agree that there is no precedent in our history for this behavior.

I would really like someone here or who may be attentive to our discourse to explain just how we have arrived at this existentially threatening place.,

David Skoglund's avatar

There has to be serious penalties, including prison for these bastards, or this nightmare will repeat itself. No kumbaya!

Beyond labels's avatar

What scares me the most is that I think you are right about Trump losing ground, but what will he and his corrupt allies do to "fix" it. They won't just lay down. They've proven that they don't care about the law and that they'll do anything to win. What will that "anything" be?

Jay Jay Eh's avatar

engaging in a ‘war’, however unjustified … like he is preparing to do with Venezuela.

— tends to bring a nation together against the other ‘evil foe’ - he may try that.

He wants their oil & there isn’t a big drug running biz there despite that being his excuse … but when did he ever let facts get in the way?

Beyond labels's avatar

That's probably where I was headed. But where will the war be? We already have a war brewing inside our large, Democratic cities. If Trump wants to hurt America, I suspect he'd focus here.

Christine Quirk's avatar

Well if this doesn’t wake up the GOP yes men they will be out of jobs , Americans just felt the burn of his cruel power antics and it’s not over as long as Trump is on his retribution train.
