We need a full court press. We have a good chance that the Senate will reject ICE funding...tomorrow! We need to pressure Senate Republicans to cross over.
Epstein is still an issue.
Here's what I posted in November -- that you ridiculed.
Yeh pressure the Republicans but don't build up false hopes. The Republicans are not going to cave, they are afraid of Trump, and the only thing important to them is re election. and they are on the take as well, not to mention cultural warriors
And why did I say about the Votes. They had nothing to do with voting their conscience.
Quite the coincidence that as soon as Adelita Grijalva was sworn in and the discharge resolution would have been passed, and that would have revealed to the voters the Republicans that were joined in the cover up for Trump, that all of a sudden all but one Republican voted to pass HR 4505, and you need to claim some of victory Daniel.
The fact is that Trump was giving his people cover, told them to pass the bill, because Pam Bondi was going to obstruct the release and also redact his name
And guess what that is exactly what is happening. She was suppose to turn over the files a month ago, she hasn't and she won't and there is not a damn thing congress can and will do about it.
So you are crowing about what? There is no way that we are going to see the full, unredacted Epstein files,because there is no way to force the regime to release them. So here you are hanging all your hopes that some miracle will come to the rescue.
“What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling – and unacceptable in any American city,” Schumer said in a statement. “Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.”
Like I said Alligator mouth humming bird ass. It is one thing to stand on the courthouse steps and talk big, another to do put your career and life on the line and take action.
Let us see if all of the Democrats vote no. I wager that Fetterman will voted witht the Republicans
Last time the issue came up
the following voted with the Republicans
Mastos and Rosen of NV
Shaheen and Hassan of NH
Durbin of Ill
Kaine of Virginia
Fetterman of PA
King of Maine (Independent)
And to my disgust, Patty Murray had indicated she would vote to fund DHS, with some lame excuse, but I sent her email via her portal and told her not to vote, or she would lose my vote. Now she says she won't.
Apparently Chuckie boy, got reamed last time he voted for the CR, and has learned his lesson, yet still a coward.
William,thanks for the info. We must contact all these traitors and let them know we are pissed and will organize campaigns against them in the future.
It's hard to find Americans who are willing to commit suicide by going up against all the people who control the weapons. Or watch/read about our loved ones, friends, and neighbors who are threatened by our speaking out or getting in our leadership's hateful ways!
Yet we "commit suicide" when we take an oath of office, and join the armed forces, and charge at the enemy, don't we
If we don't fight back when they are weak, we will never fight back. What real chance do we have when our elections are rigged, as Daniel sez, "we wuz robbed". redistricting, voter caging, voter suppression laws, voter ID laws, restrictions on ballot boxes and mail in voting, MAGA election commissions, armed poll watchers, and lastly Dominion voting machines was just bought by a Republican operative
Either we commit to putting ourselves on the line, or we wind up in concentration camps or with the jackboot on our neck forever.
Murder. Lies. Corruption. This is your tax dollars at work.....
TRump is no longer a wannabee anything. He is the real deal. As Thom has said, he learned from the best: his dad, Cohen, the mob bosses, Epstein, and Putin.
What could be more dangerous than a psychopath at the end of his days? More things have unraveled after the murder of Alex Pretti. TRump and his regime is in the process of losing the 2nd Amendment fanatics.
Teach, preach, and get out there if you can. Try to stay safe. See you in the streets.
"...state capture by oligarchs..." This is the critical element. An apple pie has flour, eggs, sugar and spices, all of which are necessary to make it a pie. But without apples it is just crust. Similarly neutering the media, targeting opponents, intimidating politicians - these are necessary elements, but they can take many forms. But, outside of communism, without oligarchs controlling the money, autocracy would fold.
tRump is the driver, but the vehicle is the problem. A lot has been said about his polling numbers dropping, yet the same 40% of Americans that originally brought him to power still approve of him, with full knowledge of who he is and what he is capable of and what he wants. These people will always keep America on the verge of fascism. This is the problem. It is not any individual politicians, it is America itself.
Fritz Thyssen, wrote a book, "I paid Hitler". he thought that by financing Hitler he would be able to influence or control him. Our financiers, globalists, tech bros, Musk have made the same mistake.
Trump's power base is the tech bros, billionaires, financiers, oil cabal who donate cash and provide media coverage, and the saps at the lower end of the economic scale, who are motivated by male prerogative which includes race, religion and ethnic supremacy.
For those not old enough, or don't remember, It started with LBJ and the Voter and Civil rights act.
The Republican party has historically been the party of the rich, the monopolists, the trusts, the millionaires. the Democratic Party was the party of the working man, and the racists, often one and the same, especially in the south.
Wby the time a year passed after LBJ signed the acts, the southern blue collar racist had re registered as Republican, after Clinton signed NAFTA and the revised GATT, the northern blue collar workers fled the Democratic party and we wound up with Swing States, n the Great Lakes rust belt.
“Putin is a killer,” Bill O’Reilly said to Trump in a 2017 interview.
“There are a lot of killers,” Trump shot back. “You think our country’s so innocent?”
We all know that nearly every accusation that comes out of Trump's mouth is either projection or a confession. Was Trump admitting to Billo that he had committed murder?
I grew up in Chicago in the 1950s, the hub of the US mafia. The mob was part of the city's culture. I recall dinner one night several years back with an old high school buddy. We kidded that we still preferred seating in the back of the restaurant with a view of the street. That enabled us to see if a drive-by shooting was about to happen so we could drop behind the table for safety. We all did that back then.
I mention this because Thom kept referring to Trump as an autocrat or oligarch and not the "racketeer" that he actually is.
New York has a mafia too - Italian and Russian. Doubtless, Trump's daddy had to pay off the mob to build apartments and such without vandalism. All racketeers are thugs and bullies. They are all motivated by money and the emotional high they get from dominance. Trump's pal Rudy got to be mayor by using info from the most powerful NYC mob bosses to prosecute lesser competitors to build his political reputation. You did not think it was ironic that an Italian US District Atty was prosecuting mafia dons with no assassination attempts? Despite Giuliani's prosecutions, it is notable that the mafia still rules in NYC and Chicago.
The Trump familia is worth billions, and the Don is mentoring his offspring to be successful racketeers. You wanna fave? That'll costya. No wonder Don Trump openly admires the late Don, Al Capone. My best movie metaphor for Trump is Jimmy Cagney's Cody Jarrett character in the 1949 movie "White Heat." "Top a the world, ma (dad)! Top a the world!"
When I was a little kid, I thought all restauratnts sponaneously exploded when they hit their expirartion date. Badda Boom.
But by the time I was in high school, my ol pappy was DA, prosecuting the mob. We'd get threats. We lived 20 miles from Youngstown, a/k/a "Murdertown USA." They'd dump some of the bodies across the state line. The Pittsburgh and Cleveland mob each claimed the smae territory, so they'd often kill each other.
"Crimetown USA" Article: In a March 9, 1963, article titled "Crimetown USA," the Saturday Evening Post detailed the city's rampant organized crime and associated violence, which included over 75 bombings and 11 killings in a decade. This national coverage solidified the city's negative reputation.
Mafia Influence: The nickname stems from a period of significant Italian mafia influence and gang warfare, which was particularly intense through the 1990s.
I'm sure the Trump family was exposed to the mob. AI:
Key Connections and Associations
Roy Cohn: Trump's mentor and lawyer in the 1970s/80s, who also represented Genovese crime family boss "Fat Tony" Salerno and Gambino boss Paul Castellano.
"Fat Tony" Salerno & Concrete: Trump Tower and other projects were built with concrete supplied by contractors linked to Salerno and the Genovese family.
Felix Sater: A Russian-American business associate with mafia connections who worked with the Bayrock Group on projects like Trump Soho.
John Staluppi: A Colombo crime family associate with whom Trump had a name-licensing deal.
Russian Mafia Connections: Reports indicate 13 individuals with ties to the Russian mafia owned or lived in13 Trump-branded buildings.
Personal Interactions: Photographic evidence exists of Trump with individuals such as Joseph "Skinny Joey" Merlino and John Alite
Do you say anything about Trump's relationship with his mother? An uneducated crofter from a rock off the west coast of Scotland. Lots of shame to shake off there. The typical background for a bully. Aggressive father; shrinking mother. Psychotherapists spend much of their time with their male clients discussing mummy. Don't suppose Trump has one; though God knows he needs one.
This is being acted out in Minnesota as a pretext to delcare a national emergency and invoke marshal law and cancel the elections.
The four current Republican U.S. House members representing Minnesota are Brad Finstad, Tom Emmer, Michelle Fischbach, and Pete Stauber.
There was a general strike on Saturday. More to come.
Minnesota is home to Republican major donors. They have outsized influence.
We need to pressure them.
The general strike, and property damage is the only way to get their attention. The only thing that motivates them is money.
The civil rights movement got no traction, nor did MLK, until there was violence and property loss.
We need a full court press. We have a good chance that the Senate will reject ICE funding...tomorrow! We need to pressure Senate Republicans to cross over.
Epstein is still an issue.
Here's what I posted in November -- that you ridiculed.
I keep posting. According to Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Trumpepstein may cause an "Epstein bomb" causing over 100 Republican members to "jailbreak" from Trump. Massive Congressional visits November 18. https://www.instagram.com/flare.usa/p/DP_mdOyjdiG/ Visit CongressionalRepublicans. https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/851451/ I continue to be exasperated by the parties and lawyers with cases when justices and judges who have dispositive records of bribery and prejudice are not challenged. At SCOTUS, Roberts opened the door in November, 2023. https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/Code-of-Conduct-for-Justices_November_13_2023.pdf https://blueprint.democrats.org/
Every Republican except one voted to open the Epstein files.
According to many sources we may have a similar ongoing situation.

They're better off confronting Republican politicians.

Captain my Captain here we are. I didn’t vote for this. Gotta get better in a little while. Thom!
Thom, honey, you know I support you, right?
But-
I clicked on the pic to buy your book and it took me to AMAZON.
NO
NO
NO
I’m not intentionally sending my rare $ to an oligarch helping burn down the US.
Can you kindly fix this?
Thanks bunches! 💕
