Every eighty years America's oligarchs have tried to bury democracy. Three times they failed. This time they've dismantled the election's guardrails before the votes are even cast…
Another excellent commentary. but you lost me with the visual of trump playing chess. i'd say checkers would be more appropriate, but even that would stretch his capacity and strain credulity. maybe tic tac toe?
Now let’s go after these criminals with State Grand Juries, investigations, exposure of crimes and jail time for those involved and participating in these criminal acts violating our Constitution, election laws, espionage laws and all other related matters of fraud.
Objectively Trump, with the complicity of the Republicans and some Democrats, has deconstructed the United States of America. at home with our civil liberties and prosperity, and in the world, we are no longer respected, and in Trump's mind, which is the mind of a felon in prison, fear is a substitute for respect.
So he uses Whiskey Pete Hegseth and craven, sycophantic Generals and flag officers, to try and intimidate the world into submission. Just as he uses the insatiable and gluttinous American population, to intimidate the leaders of the world into submission.
And it works, or shall I saw working for the time being, because he and the oligarchs that finance and support him, are killing the goose that laid the golden egg, and they can't stop.
They are like real estate developers and sharks, if they stop borrowing, building and swimming they suffocate.
The United States is doomed, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics applies to human societies as well, fo we are part of the physical world.
The oligarchs and Trump are destroying the very thing that creates and sustains them, human effort and motivation.
Take AI for instance. The various industries are breathlessly adopting AI and Robotics, as they save the variable costs of labor.
But with the disemployment of labor, the population becomes restless and angry, and there is no one earning wages to provide the goods and services provided by robotics and labor.
Henry Ford, raised the wages of his employees, to enable them to buy the vehicles that they produce.
Who can afford to buy the products of the automotive industry today. In 1966 I bought a new Mustang for $2,000 (had a neat 289 cu in motor and cruised at 70 mph. In 1980 I bought a new Maverick, for $2,500 (both were financed for three years), it had a weak inline six a fully loaded VW van passed me on a mountain.
The morbidly rich have a problem, their need for oxygen is starving the fishes that feed them.
Just as humans are killing the ecosystem that sustains them, they are parasites that kill the host.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics. You can’t win, your can’t break even and you can’t get out of the game.
You reminded me of a book that's a few years old, "Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy," by Michael Hudson.
Exactly, debt is responsible for inflation, consumerism,, and frankly the improvement in the quality of life. Advancements in health care, transportation, production are all made possible because of debt.
But nothing last forever, all bills eventually come due,and in times of stress debts are called in.
Infinite growth is not possible. A tree that outgrows its roots, topples and dies, eventually all things age, grow weak, can no longer stand up to an attack by a parasite.
The question becomes, personal, will I make it through this cycle, or will i fall victim.
Who in their right mind re-marries [elects again] a "Killed-in-action Service Person Hating," Ultra-Violent, Kiddie-Raping, Wife-Raping, Draft-dodging, Stranger-Raping, War-mongering, Racist, Felonious, Bisexual [not that there's anything wrong w/ that,] Lying with every breath he takes, COVID-enabling, America-hating, Thief who loves only Gold, er, except for his daughter Ivanka? Wait. That's incestuous lust.
77,300,000 American Morons is who. Family. Friends. Co-workers. Strangers. Russians. Chinese. Israelis. N. Koreans. Saudi Bone Saw Hitmen, and Pardoned Traitors.
We've learned to live with mutant rats in NYC, but there is no reason we have to live with them in D.C.
Well, it seems that Smitty (Trump) has traded in his "Russia, Russia, Russia" refrain to "China, China, China." Rather perplexing (not) that the Democrats and the Republicans seem to always use the same tactics. And that word "rigged?" Let's see: 2000 (rigged by Supreme Court/Bush/Florida), 2008 (uh, we better be cool because the optics with this black dude will reveal us for the racists we are so we'll lay low), 2016 (Bernie Sanders totally ripped off by the DNC, further Bernie said the system is rigged). 2020 (Trump says the same thing), 2024 (all kinds of weirdness).
I may may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I AM the sharpest of the dull ones and where there is smoke, there be fire. This shit show is cranking up...big time.
Accurate, honest, and true! Thankyou for exposing the grift,
Lies and corruption with in our government and oligarchic owned media platforms. Time for grand jury investigations, public exposure of these crimes, jail time for their crimes and this must include oligarchs, politicians, federal agents and corrupt government officials who violate our constitution and laws.
It sounds like you are anticipating international implications. I wonder what might be in the works. Actual manipulation of votes? Help with surveillance or agitation? Do you expect a version of martial law? What kind of response is possible beyond street protests?
Mr. Elliot, I traffic in an unsavory industry. I traffic in truth. I get a great deal of emotion from critics, but never, ever are my facts questioned or debated. It isn't what I write or say, it is the fact that I had the temerity to say it and that is nothing more than intellectual dishonesty...if not cowardice. Having issued my disclaimer allow me to provide a brutally succinct answer to your multiple queries: NOTHING, absolutely nothing, of consequence happens involving "US" policy, be it international or domestic, sans violence. Or as your national anthem puts it " the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air." You know those red stipes on your flag (ironically known as "pales") represent blood?
tRump has been on the phone with Putin every two weeks. He's taking notes. ICE agents will be at the polls in swing districts. It isn't unthinkable to see the Border Patrol and National Guard assert some trumped up reason to prevent people from voting. I think he will go to the mat to win the upcoming primaries if not the general election. The question is whether our state legislators and congress are prepared for this. Their silence is deafening.
When billionaires are making huge uptakes of cash, they are about to do something. And when the government is simultaneously outlaying large sums of money (and debt) for military and domestic policing, something is up. Trump, above all else, doesn't want a Congress that could expose him to prosecution, along with a number of his business cronies and Epstein clients.
I believe that not only will Trump try to suppress voting ahead of the election. I think he will try to create an emergency and confiscate voting machines and voting results after the election.
I hope our state attorneys generals will prevent this from happening.
Violence must be a last resort. But there does not seem to be any doubt that the wealthy and powerful (which translates as capable of employing power through direct physical force) have already used violent tactics and coercive methods via the justice system and economic strategies and will not hesitate to direct their 'muscle' and security apparatus to quell any resistance as soon as it has a chance of challenging their great corporate power. There is probably n chance that we can get through this without a great deal of ugliness and no small amount of violence in certain quarters. Civil war is not out of the question at all for the zealots, fascists, and fanatics. Be prepared or at least as resolute and brave as possible. We absolutely MUST overwhelm them with numbers and be willing to use sacrifice to implement boycotts and defiant measures against excess wealth.
Thanks again Thom I think you have captured the situation correctly again. Most everyone who reads and comments in this space wants to see democracy revived, the rich pay their share and our modern day trusts broken up. But does the general public really care? That is, will some of the 89 million eligible voters who didn't bother to vote last time bother to vote this time? Trump laid the groundwork to stop midterms in his primetime address. Either to prevent them from taking place or abrogating the results if he doesn't like them. My guess is he will try to prevent us from voting at all. If you don't play the game you can't lose. If we get to vote will enough people be motivated enough to vote against him? Or will they vote against themselves again?
(FDR) “He challenged his era’s oligarchs head-on, saying, “They hate me, and I welcome their hatred.”” Can we imagine a Schumer, a Gillibrand, a Jeffries saying anything remotely as pointed, courageous, and confrontational as that? No, we cannot. They and their ilk have “pragmatically”, incrementally facilitated, and are now beholden to, the very oligarchs who now gather to destroy us. They’d rather torpedo the idealists in their ranks than confront the enemy at the door. We desperately need to develop legal, political, social systems in which frauds like POSOTUS and his greedy supporters cannot thrive, prosper, and grow ever more powerful despite their known, ongoing, and obvious criminality and corruption. Neither the Democratic (corporate) establishment (James Carville suggests we “lie down and play dead”) nor the derelict (corporate) MSM have proven up to the task. Whether in primaries or general elections, vote accordingly. Support independent media. Demand more.
FDR was a popular president with most of the American citizens behind him, so he was more influential and could afford to buck the oligarchs, whereas our present Democratic leaders like AOC, Bernie, Warren, Schiff and others are just as passionate, and just as progressive, but don't, as yet, have the backing they need; the fact that Trump wants to indict and prosecute (and possibly terminate) them, proves that they are a thorn in his side - and deserve to be heard, heeded and supported by all of us.
Well summarized Thom! There is a cadence here . the oligarchs have carefully planned and are following. Timing now grows very short for any correction in course. Can we turn? Only if a plan is succinct, adopted and executed:
1. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE !! Take back congress and local government. Canvas neighbors , provide transportation, publicize the "rules" state by state, promote safety for mail in ballots and in person voting.
Married more than once , who still uses my husband’s last name.
As I understand it , if Trump gets his way , I will have a very difficult time voting . Just as he hoped for . I would have to go back 50 yrs and retrieve my Birth Certificate, my marriage certificate . My annulment certification and then my marriage certificate to my late husband , and his death certificate .
All of this when I’ve voted for the past 34 yrs under my current name : Patricia Lane . If I may say so this is Bullshit from our lying president , who has also been married more than once , but of course did not change his name . Because we’ d never even think of putting a man through all of this nonsense.
No matter that Trump is a felon 34 times over , his privileges have not been challenged in spite of the fact that he is working hard to destroy the U S on behalf of Vladimir Putin.
For this destruction he has been rewarded with freedom from other criminality as well , he will not , if The Criminal Todd Blanche gets his way, be prosecuted for tax fraud for which everyone is already aware. The Supreme Court far right “ Justices”, have given all kinds of leeway to Trump, so that they will let him slide on his multiple violations of our Constitution.This is great stuff. Criminals are absolved from responsibility, allowed to lead our Country into hell. But women will be harassed into not voting for no crime at all. Oh , Except for being born a woman .
I have not solved the imagery of Trump playing White on the chess board. He's holding what appears to be the second bishop and moving toward where black has a broken piece possibly its Queen looks like crushed by a winged mythological creature, not a chess piece. Black has its King and rook plus two Bishops. White is not showing its King nor Queen. Trump has a stern look on his face as if he's about to destroy the Black player. What's it mean? The Report is about the Fourth Assault on Democracy. Black pieces represent democracy being destroyed?
Here is a way to disrupt this attack on Democracy. My 2 cents
Whats next for democracy to take hold again and clean up its mess that's been eating it away
So After the regime and even before Trump and his morons slipped in as the new meat grinders, what we did is let the big money take over almost every aspect of our lives. I'd think that we'd want this to change this ASAP. So we are all thinking everything will be hunky dory after Nov elections really ?? what happens if it isn't? And Why even wait, the No Kings rallies has shown that folks are ready to fight the big money fight the billionaires., the oligarchs.
We should all remember Occupy Wall Street and what they were all about. Granted they didn't quite finish the job but they got many folks ears. Isn't it time to finish the job?
we have the Middle and poor classes, we are the clear majority . It is now the very wealthy and their small numbers.against a huge population of people that are now in a serious struggle. Her'es my suggestion, we need to act right now!
I have been saying for months we need to Occupy DC with purpose. Here goes
Enough with the No Kings one day event, It’s time to really make good trouble and Rock The Boat, People are demanding more much more. Time for one day events is over, people are ready to March and peacefully occupy the peoples Capital
Non Violent Occupation Washington, DC Rally with hundreds of thousands
To do's when there:
1. Publicly Prosecute this FFing regime on Paper every single one of those fascists. Publicly denounce them for calling democratic party communists, the left is now the new middle, we need to be in DC in their face, in the public eye for days
2. Bring in activist progressives in congress to speak, people can stay a few days and go home as others can also attend. We just need to keep a core group of 100,000 or more .
3. Begin to rebuild on paper a society and government that works from the bottom up. Stay in DC however long it takes. There is no going back to before this regime, the system needs major repairs asap. Gather and unite leaders and members from all the economic , racial, and multicultural, gay straight social justice groups.
4. Electronics and cell phones will make it possible for people across the country to take part
5. This will likely grab the DAILY news stream and will become the Blue Print for the next American Revolution. Our numbers will surge and it will be impossible for the old corporate democrats to remain in power
Another excellent commentary. but you lost me with the visual of trump playing chess. i'd say checkers would be more appropriate, but even that would stretch his capacity and strain credulity. maybe tic tac toe?
Now let’s go after these criminals with State Grand Juries, investigations, exposure of crimes and jail time for those involved and participating in these criminal acts violating our Constitution, election laws, espionage laws and all other related matters of fraud.
I’d like to see him do Hop Scotch!
A little beside the point, perhaps a little it irrelevant - but I just really want to see him do it. HA!
If he could understand tic tac toe, he would play against Musk, who would always have to be X, and they would both cheat to win or sue when they lose.
That's funny because it's true.
I'd say it's the oligarch's who are playing chess.
Will part of their calculations include a false flag operation?

Vivid metaphor. Nicely done, I can see it happening in my mind's eye.
I wish you well, William. Thank you for that inspiration.

SANITY NOW!!! SERENITY NOW!!!. INTERVENTION NOW!!!
#VOTE #DRAFT Oligarchs' scions #RELEASE Mitcho's corpse
Well put, the state must move us forward, if the federal government are the criminals.
Grand Juries now, expose the criminals and frauds, prosecute and punish the perpetrators.
"We've learned to live with mutant rats in NYC, but there is no reason we have to live with them in D.C."
Priceless, none have said it better.

2. Expand the Supreme Court
3. Overturn Citizens United
4. Get lobbyists out of Washington
5. Require free air time for political candidates through an FCC requirement
6. Rebuild key parts of the government, health and welfare
7. Pass new tax laws....
Next? Time for all of us to think of solutions and put them Into reality in lockstep.
That sounds like "concepts of a plan."
Definitely in the right direction.

Thanks Ari good ideas. Where are the young people? Campuses are quiet not a peep of protest against the war or environmental destruction.
I don’t get it!
What are Democrats playing at?
Do they want to lose the Midterms?
I am a widowed woman .
Married more than once , who still uses my husband’s last name.
