I just finished reading this outstanding book. You have clearly put in writing not only his personal messed up history but how the useful idiot was put in power. More importantly though, you show how we can take active steps to fight back against the enormous amount of cash unleashed because in Citizens United.

I'm looking to purchase additional copies to give to my two sons as well as some like minded friends who don't know what we should be. Marching helps but protecting our vote MUCH more important.

Thank you!

One hopes that, should the opportunity arise (unlikely as that increasingly seems), Democratic “leadership” will abandon their compulsive but ultimately counterproductive traditional inclination to make nice-nice, let bygones be bygones, look forward not backward, and all the other self-destructive, crime enabling bullshit that has delivered us to this point. Exhausting as it may be, ALL of the current administration’s many crimes must be investigated, prosecuted, and punished. We have all the talent we need; let them shine.

I'm all for prosecution of all of the administrations crimes. But first dems have to win midterms. Will we have open and fair midterms? I fear Trump has the power to stop them.

Maybe if you'd say a few words of ENCOURAGEMENT.....

I’d like to think that history and their oaths are all the encouragement they need.

We are in a shitload of trouble, and have been, because despite all of the evidence, past and present and the moves the Republicans have made for November and 2028, despite the fact that this knowledge is public...nothing has been done to stop them, to reset, to invalidate the election on the basis of fraud.

All we have is ex post facto whining and bloviating about we wuz robbed despite the fact that we wuz robbed, Kamala Harris, rushed to the Mic, at 4 pm on Nov 6, while votes were still being counted and conceded., as if she couldn't ait to concede.

Sure a concession can be taken back, but then what does that say about the person and party, and why rush to concede anyway.

Trump never conceded, despite the fact that he overwhelming lost, he claimed the vote was stolen, yet the Democrats rush to the mic to concede.

When they do low we go high, a recipe for losers, there is no moral high ground in losing to fascists.

It is not about picking on anyone. If we are going to win, if we are going to save our freedoms, our Republic we need the Democratic party to grow a fucking pair, and stop acting like pussies.

Daniel, An amazing dive into the morass of our "Justice" system.

Can you summarize these cases for the laity?

I can''t discern your humor outright..

The Problem with those cases are they are a day late and a dollar short. They are of no effect, too late. Trump was sworn in on Nov 20th, 2025 and has deconstructed the government and the justice system. And those cases will not reverse history.

It's only one case....Election Truth Alliance v. SCHMIDT (1:25-cv-00329)

There are others. Alleged Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk

The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

I keep posting:

“In December 2024, I was personally involved in an NSA‑authorized forensic audit of the 2024 election. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz won—by a wide margin. Trump lost dramatically. There are multiple layers of complexity to this cover‑up, including transnational organized crime syndicates that extend far beyond the United States and our elections. To that point, I work in the human trafficking sector, which intersects with the stolen election(s) and has ties to Trump and Epstein—not to President Biden, Vice President Harris, or Governor Walz, but to the Democrats and other allied interests responsible for burying the audit.”

How do we get this book into the current American zeitgeist? Get it on NYT Best sellers?

At Least, the Big Time Dems should be screaming this from the rooftops!

The DNC should have their own "Project 2026" to use all this and FIGHT BACK!

Thank you Major Thom!

In my lifetime, Gore's loss was the most brazenly corrupt election of all GOP wins. I say that because I was asked to assemble a research team to evaluate Gore's Reinventing Government Program (REGO) - what DOGE should have been. Gore really wanted to govern, not rule. Unlike Trump's DOGE, which was a unanimous failure by all accounts, REGO was a smashing success. Every change in training, policies, and procedures REGO implemented to improve efficiency and effectiveness had a favorable effect on morale. I know that because I surveyed the entire federal workforce for Gore in 1999.

The survey results my team of senior deep-state psychologists presented to the president and his Cabinet were the first-ever assessment of their agencies and offices. It addressed leadership, job satisfaction, career orientation, and perceptions of mission achievement. The Cabinet loved it. OPM Director LaChance decided to make the survey an annual event - the Federal Workforce Viewpoint Survey. The Viewpoint Survey was administered annually until Trump 2.0. Knowing DOGE crushed morale, Trump did not want the adverse publicity - we all know he hates facts.

My point is that if you vote for an administration that truly wants to govern and make things better for Americans, that is what you get. In contrast, if you vote for an administration that wants to run our government like a business, historically you get economic downturns, an increase in the National Debt, and a demoralized workforce - an outcome that seems to delight Republicans.

The Right to Vote & have it Counted

Democrats need a counter to the SAVE Act. I propose The Right to Vote and have your Vote Counted Act. Any voter who has any issue to vote should have the right to vote by provisional ballot. We have that right now but I would make one very specific change. Now all the burden is on the voter to cure their issue or the vote is throw out. I would put the burden on the government to prove that the voter committed voter fraud to throw out the vote. The Government already has all the data to prove citizenship or eligibility. The election officials should not have authority to throw out any vote but can only refer them for a criminal investigation. Voter fraud is a crime so it should require a serious investigation. This would target voter fraud instead of the SAVE Act objective of voter suppression.  Once and for all we would have clear information on how rare is voter fraud. This should deter Trump and his supporters from making false claims of mass voter fraud.
