John Oliver just made the case against JD Vance by showing his interviews. We can see that he is the voice in TRump's ear telling him to act outside every law on the books. He essentially said the Supreme Court will decide what is legal, and then the Administration will tell them where they can shove it. He wants the Chief Justice and the country to know that no one can make them do anything.
You've described the world's largest and most dangerous criminal syndicate ever formed by the biggest psychopath that has ever sat in the Oval Office.
The record against them grows daily. The independent media is getting LARGER and LOUDER. Thank you Hartmann and Company for leading the way. You are very brave. See you the streets.
I'm so disgusted with these rich-ass vampires like Kushner sucking the blood-money of the world and destroying it in the process. Trump is the pure distillation of the worst aspects of our gunboat-driven foreign policy going back to when the gunboat was invented. And we could have expected it would come to this, when we are so dependent on oil, and the accompanying need for a seven-seas navy to protect our lifelines. Well I guess it's this or getting cancer from wind turbines.
If we want to reduce domestic demand, we have supressed the real competition - alternative energy.
The public should be clamoring to reinstate Biden energy policies to make us oil independent and reduce costs at the same time. .
AI> Estimates regarding job losses linked to the Trump administration’s policies on clean energy vary, with reports citing figures ranging from 10,000 to as many as 170,000 jobs impacted. These losses are attributed to the cancellation of federal clean energy tax credits, the imposition of new tariffs, and the suspension of various energy projects.
"Even lacking subpoena power, Democratic leadership should convene shadow hearings to investigate this possible double-dealing that’s already killed Americans and threatens to plunge the entire world into flames.
At the very least, they should spend a few weeks holding public, on‑the‑record hearings into whether this Iran war is being steered from Riyadh, Jerusalem, and Kushner’s investment firm instead of the Pentagon."
Krasnov. The EU will not cooperate. "The European Union agreed to renew sanctions against Russia over the weekend as the bloc and other US allies questioned Washington’s decision to temporarily ease some oil restrictions against Moscow to curb a price surge caused by supply disruptions from the Iran war, Politico reported."
"EU countries on Saturday reached a unanimous deal to extend the bloc’s sanctions framework targeting Russian businesses, officials and oligarchs, ensuring the restrictions would not expire over the weekend. More than 2,600 people and entities remain under sanctions imposed since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022."
Trump also didn't anticipate Iran using Trump/Epstein in a propaganda war.
Google: Iranian state media and pro-Tehran networks have successfully popularized the theory that the U.S.-Israel military campaign, dubbed "Operation Epic Fury," was launched primarily to distract from the release of 3 million new Epstein-related documents.

Key Developments in the Propaganda War
"Operation Epstein Distraction": This derogatory term has been widely adopted by Iranian media and even some U.S. critics to characterize the conflict.
All Americans know their government is corrupt to some extent. We just rarely stop and look at it carefully until we learn about a rare high-profile prosecution in the MSM like Watergate. There will be no special prosecutors or investigations as long as Trump owns all 3 branches of government.
The GOP senators are all multi-millionaires, but they act like losing their jobs will put them in the unemployment line. Doubtless, being voted out of office will impact their income as many, if not all, make money by passing laws that reduce the cost of operating their businesses - tax dodges and deregulations.
These vermin are ours. The disease is ours. The cure will be ours or the disease will be fatal. We have November, if it isn't canceled by the felon in chief. If that fails, that pretty much leaves the Mangione option writ large. I do not for a moment endorse that; it will mean the end of everything regardless of whomever it may remove, because it will hand them a win by showing the rule of law is a dead issue in every way. But if the morbidly rich like Kushner, the Kochs, all the other plutocrats complete consolidating their control of our country, the only other option will be submission. A lot of Americans, left with nothing to lose, will not submit.
I lament that we have a beloved grandson, who has been the center of our lives since the day he was born. He has had an idyllic childhood. He faces a grim, bleak dystopian future, as does his entire generation (he turns 8 in a few weeks). Even if he stays above water materially, it will be a soul-killing time to live. I know I wish I had died before the faux orange gibberer exposed the the pestilent underbelly at our heart. Particularly as any number of people close to me are in it.
We must keep fighting using the proper tools as long as we can--the law, civil disobedience, peaceful protest, the ballot box. Shoring each other up with comments on Substack blogs, mainstream media, wherever we can. If the light is doomed to die, let it not be as a result of our apathy or inaction, as even those of us limited by health and finances can do our bit.
I know that, wreck that I am, if I could somehow martyr myself for the cause, I would; but candidly, I am less than a paramecium, and my sacrifice would have no impact, save on my family and friends. We need to fight to get back a country and lives we want and admire, not one where we need to die to make a point. Or escape.
To DJT and MAGA Regime Leaders…Stop your damn war… it serves only you, your family and billionaire friends and many countries who are led by anti-democracy rulers/dictators! Stop this insane violence against humanity campaign that you have reeked upon innocent people both here in the US and through the world. Resign or be removed from your office!!!
What we are looking with Operation Epstein FURY for the ultra-rich is a complete lack of the concept of empathy. If your brain and or training precludes looking at the world with eyes that see NOTHING of the suffering of those impacted by you and your miss deeds in governments. Actions to make money that KILLS is just smart business. ALL of this mess is illegal BUT money buys you an after blow back Trump PARDON!! Just hard to watch as a former Marine Corps officer because the beaches of IRAN are going to be soon red with young men's BLOOD. For What? another 5 billion in Kushner's bank account? Beyond Nuts.
Note: Jared will be on the hook for kickbacks to Don Don . . . say 10%, DT'll call it a tithing. Or a payment for some too-large Florsheim shoes.
Jared is stupidly playing into "Elders of Zion" style stereotypes, exactly as he does as a slum/landlord in Baltimore, apartments from which he delights in evicting old, broke Black women.
As for the war? Donald is Netanyahu's personal barbed-wire wrapped baton, doing to Iranian girls' schools what the IDF does with its batons to imprisoned Palestinians.
Has he called our KIA [war dead] suckers and losers yet?
“Even lacking subpoena power, Democratic leadership should convene shadow hearings to investigate this possible double-dealing that’s already killed Americans and threatens to plunge the entire world into flames”. That would require Democratic leadership.
"Never before in American history have US negotiators had massive personal financial stakes in the outcome of their own negotiations." It still boggles my mind that a third of Americans are OK with this blatant grift, even when it is trashing the rest of us.
In addition.....

The more blood money the Trump syndicate has, the more urgent it will be for them to remain in power so they won't be prosecuted.
Jared should be where his Dad was, and for the same reasons, maybe still is - in jail.

**This** is imperative:
"Even lacking subpoena power, Democratic leadership should convene shadow hearings to investigate this possible double-dealing that’s already killed Americans and threatens to plunge the entire world into flames.

Here's my take on the war and on Trump: Not fake news: The headlines should read that Trump threatened to help Russia kill more Ukrainians if he doesn't get his way >>> https://halbrown.substack.com/p/not-fake-news-the-headlines-should

FEAR of being implicated as a perp should cause a few attitude adjustments.
In addition to "follow the money", there is the enmity between the Sunni Muslims (Saudi) and the Shia Muslims (Iran).
No shit?

Your article is amazing as all are including your books. I Love the song. I want to load it on my phone. Don’t know how but I’m working on it.
