This whole mess could have been avoided if the Supreme Court had not granted this madman complete immunity. He's clearly getting off on power. I wonder if Roberts, et al. sit around and ask themselves if maybe they made a mistake? I know, I know. There's always Merrick Garland to blame and Mitch McConnell too. So many thwarts to a power hungry bully were just lost opportunities. Each day his lust for power and money grows, he's bathing in it, enjoying the fear and tumult. But here's the thing: Bullies have a way of getting knocked down to size. It might take a while for our David to vanquish his Goliath but I'm hopeful that there will come a point where enough people, especially politicians, say, "Enough!" There are anemic rumblings, but rumblings nonetheless coming out of the Congress. They need to choose between Trump and their constituents, because no matter how Fox, Leavitt, McLaughlin and Tommy Tubberville spin it, average Joe's and Jane's aren't buying it. They do not want wars. They do not want masked men in the streets kidnapping and murdering people. They want a living wage. They want healthcare they can afford. They want the price of groceries to not bust the family budget. These regime clowns have gotten way over their skis...and it's our job to make sure an avalanche takes them out.
I think the average Joe and Jane are buying it. In Illinois, a man running for governor - Darren Bailey- thinks it is Illinois and Minnesota's fault for harboring these "criminals". He will have plenty who agree with him and vote for him. The depravity and racism in this country abounds.
Too many are buying it, Mary. The libs, among us here on these comments, are not well liked in the vast wastelands of Middle America. It will take elected Republicans to take a strong stand against the tyrant. I won't hold my breath, but we shall see.
I’m not so sure it moved the needle. The only group that by a majority supports DJT’s policies, including his actions labeled immigration enforcement are Republicans. That has been true for a while. I’m not sure shooting people would get more approval if they already thing the actions are already too aggressive.
He couldn't do all this alone. Most, if not all, of the Republican Party have either helped him or have ignored every awful thing he's done, starting with his first disastrous term. Anybody remember the million-plus dead from the pandemic? I do. We lost a close family member to it.
Now he's actively having US citizens murdered and is threatening world order and its semblance of peace. The Republicans just shrug, waiting to collect their take of the spoils.
MAGA cheers them all on, delighted at have 'owned the libs' and now at seeing them murdered by armed thugs. Are they waiting for their cut and perhaps an invitation to the new ballroom?
We keep talking about the felon like he's some kind of aberration, with his festering insecurity and narcissism, but these characteristics seem to be quite widespread. We are hurtling toward a cliff of our own making.
What other species does this? A third of us aided and abetted the felon, a third either isn't paying attention or doesn't care, and a third of us are trying to find how to steer away from that cliff. If we succeed in destroying ourselves, I hope we leave enough for other species to survive. We are, collectively, a plague on our planet.
this won't wait for January 2027 and a new House & Congress.... this has to happen now... may all of us and that's 330,000,000 make it clear to this congress to act or they will not be in congress in 2027... it's all we have.... boycott, protest and our precious vote that maga is trying to smother... congress is frozen... judiciary is doing its damndest to keep democracy alive and the supremes have been shuttered by 6 of them....what is the endgame here? a wasteland ?
Stephen Miller should never be permitted to be so close to the levers of power. Both he and Russell Vought are truly making decisions in lieu of a demented president, who has been guided by their thirst for power. Both should be arrested and prosecuted for the danger they pose to We the People. They only care about their own power and the fact that the felon believes that they have some knowledge of how the world works. Violating any international law that they don’t like almost seems like a game to them.
Trump is no more demented than Vought or Miller. Or Rubio, Hegseth, Bondi, Bessent, Wright, Duffy, Zeldin, NOEM, Ratcliffe,Collins, Burgum, Kennedy, Rollins, Lutnick, Patel, Driscoll,, McMahon, Chavez-DeRemer, Turner and Gabbard. These are the members of Trump's Cabinet who were approved by many Democrats to run this country. Some of these Democrats are running for another term. They will be elected because the Democrats will not deny them their seat. We are still tribal and believe a bad Democrat is better than a good Democrat if they have the power of office. Kelly, Kaine - all the TV interviews and letters begging for money, but they vote for Trump!
Actually, the felon is suffering from some type of dementia, the others are just crazy as loons. Several well known psychologists have said he is in the throes of frontotemporal dementia. Some of the symptoms are the way he stands, leaning forward, the aphasia (mispronunciation of words) and the telling of stories that never actually happened. As an example, he said his Uncle taught the unabomber, which is not possible, because of the timeline.
I never paid much attention to your tagline until today when I read ‘Dispatches of ALARM - there is little hope as long as this regime is in place. I’m getting more fearful by the day.
He's an example of human nature at its worst. His lack of character, compassion and kindness, reflects a total absence of the ability to care for anyone but himself. We are seeing what happens when a person without these qualities becomes the president of a Democracy. Greed and a thirst for power and domination is his only motivation. Yes, Steven, this is madness.
Thank you for so clearly exposing the psychological malignancy of Felon47’s authoritarian posturing, Steven. Seems to me that when a person is bragging that they can’t be constrained by either domestic or international law, it might be a GREAT time to cloth this person in a long sweater that ties in the back, and cart him off to a locked padded room at Walter Reed Hospital.
If you are asking me who I would PREFER to be our President, my pick would be Kamala Harris.
The Election Truth Alliance has shown statistically that 2024 Election results were technologically manipulated by a combination of “de minimus” changes to the vote-tabulating computers, and software program that a protege of Elon Musk uploaded that allowed ballots to be modified. This evidence is still working its way through the courts. Both Musk and Felon47 have made veiled comments to this effect. The night before the Inauguration, Trump stated something to the effect that Elon was very effective, and that he had the best vote-counting computer skills. He continued to say “and we won by a landslide in Pennsylvania. Thank you, Elon!! Elon stated during a “mad ex-friend text” exchange with 47, that Trump would not have won the election without him.
So, in a PERFECT world, I would like the entire administration removed, and Kamala Harris, the rightful winner of the 2024 Election, installed with a competent Cabinet that can start to repair the horrible damage of this past year.
It’s not a perfect world. You would get JD Vance. That is the line of succession - JD is followed by Mike Johnson.
Veiled comments are not evidence. Elon paid for a huge door-to-door GOTV effort. He gave at least $250M through PACs to the campaign. And there was the give away scheme; Musk’s cachet with young men, techies etc.
If data models — by people who tend to ignore the safeguards & how votes verified — were more reliable than election results, my very red state would not have a 2nd term Democratic governor. All the other statewide elections were won by the GOP & the state legislature is GOP veto proof.
Now we as a country have a situation where no matter who wins an election a substantial segment of the population will not accept which becomes a form of voter suppression. “You need to vote.” “Your vote won’t count.” MTG campaigning in GA for a GOP candidate pushed 2020 theories & lost a US Senate seat for the GOP.
All good comments on this important piece. Claire Berlinski of the Cosmopolitan Globalist writes about Trump’s inability to think past his collection of mental illnesses and childhood trauma, so that both history and our political futures have been discarded and threatened, respectively. This is true, Berlinski believes, not just for us, but for the world arguing that the very mind of man in terms of our collective understanding of the common good and what is required is at stake. It is being replaced by a Machiavellian ethos and worse. He is almost compared to Atilla the Hun and on such a point I concur. Democracy is dancing on the head of a pin right now.
What is right and true? What do we have the right as a free people, to expect? What, as a free people whose democracy has sustained gaping wounds, do we know is true about ourselves. That is the real question. If we know where truth lives within ourselves and we give it oxygen and the sustenance it requires, then we can keep hope alive. The choice is stark. If we do not cleave to the truth about what is happening in our country; if we cannot convince more than a critical mass of our fellow citizens to understand what it means to be living under an authoritarian regime, then we will be trapped within its walls. I am slowly coming to grips with this reality and I honestly do not know how to think about this. I never thought I would be living in a police state.
We are here. Are we just going to become another country mired in protest and confusion while the rest of the world looks on pityingly?The question remains obvious. Where DO we go from here, and how???
We keep peacefully protesting in numbers large and small across America.
We keep being informed, not gaslighted, and support those like Steven Beschloss who deserve to be widely read and heard.
Congress is beginning to wake up. We have to keep pushing and prodding, making Good Trouble as John Lewis said.
Splintering votes are happening now in Congress, let’s help that happen more and more.
Our 250th birthday draws near. Let’s return to the spirit and strength of those days to resist an unjust,oppressive government that distorts and denies our rights and dignity, and that of all people.
While the basis of law rests on fundamental principles like the Rule of Law (Rule of Law - no one is above the law, accountability, open government) and its diverse sources, which primarily the Constitution, statutes (laws passed by legislatures), regulations (from agencies), and judicial precedent (common law/case law).
However We are dealing in our reality of this — In his glaring statement of his thoughts, decisions and actions.
**Trump was asked whether he was constrained by international law. “I don’t need international law,” he said. Asked if there were any limits on his global powers, he answered, “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
Aristotle was quoted - “For man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all."
Our stark reality —
…a Man who raped, lied and pillaged his way through life without any consequence, none, declares and actually sees himself…
…Emperor of the World…
-Therefore everything - EVERYTHING is on the table-
…so in his mind by his own words he can now rape, lie and pillage the rest of the world, the entire globe, without consequence…
…and he has surrounded himself with sycophants, in Congress, the Supreme Court, Law Enforcement, Dept. of Justice, and even lower courts as all tyrants do…
So therefore in essence — How does our laws, We the People, and even our Constitution from all these “Laws” the “Rule of Law” hold him accountable?
He readily admits out-loud that he sees himself NOT being constrained by International Laws. He readily admits out-loud that he sees himself NOT being constrained by our Constitutional Laws the Rule of Law.
Because law stems from “societal agreement, moral foundations (natural law)”, and “formalized rules ensuring order”, “rights, and justice”, that varies between “codified civil law systems and precedent-based common law systems”.
That to me is the question -
When will and What will it take Our Legislative Branch, Congress of Our Government Stand Up?
When will and What will it take for Our Judicial Branch, Supreme Court of Our Government Stand Up?
What are We the People Going to Do about this?
Because I’m just wondering
What is the actual “TIPPING POINT” is going to be for Americans to GO FULL FRENCH REVOLUTION on this administration/regime?
Call Your Congressional members - You want this to begin to STOP then you need to change the trajectory -
Call the Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121 (TTY: 202-224-1916) for the House or Senate to speak with an operator who can connect you.
Your/Our Congress are suppose to work for YOU all of US We vote for them to DO the JOB - Trump is NOT their BOSS. - YOU/WE are!
Inaction allows the continuation of LIES and ESCALATION. Silence Equates Compliance..
Action allows for them to know and get through their thick heads to do their jobs - that You are their Employer NOT Trump.
If you’ve been calling continue if you haven’t please begin to push back to stop this. Please
I think some of his noise & aggressive behavior is both rage & an effort to do things where he has more options & control.
• He promises money - his polling stays in the toilet. He touts his fake accomplishments and his polling stays in the toilet.
• Turning Point USA has internal turmoil. The Nick Fuentes interview by Tucker led to praise by Roberts, pres of Heritage Foundation who had to sort of apologize. About a dozen staff defected to Pence’s think tank.
• Congress is getting a little testy. House Dems on Oversight got a subpoena for individuals at the Epstein Estate and a former source of Epstein’s wealth - Les Wexner.
• He had to pull the NGs out of states because SCOTUS ruled the regime provided no legal justification. The Court went further saying it interprets the law to say NGs cannot be used unless “regular forces” (US military) are shown to be “insufficient.” Then it said “such circumstances are exceptional“. Posse Comitatus and so on.
This leaves him foreign policy where there are few restraints while he works on an excuse to deploy the military in a way that won’t get a 6-3 SCOTUS “Nope” vote.
Morality? What morality!? If it weren't so absurd it would be laughable. But of course we can't laugh at any of it as his enablers are all too ready to help destroy this decency of this country.
In addition to Robyn Boyer's assertion about the SCOTUS giving him immunity (which I totally agree with, we wouldn't be here if just a few Republicans had stood up to him. We were "blessed" with the absolutely worst politicians in place at the worst possible moment. Worst of the worst is Mitch McConnell. If he had voted for impeachment, others would have followed. there is a special circle in hell for him.
Another sterling/gold/platinum review of T…p. That person is a modern-day Hitler who basically managed to upset the world order until his death in 1944. His grandiose ideals of world domination, left unsaid in those terms, is panning out to be just that. Once called saber rattling it now is simply bullying to line his own pockets and enhance his own ego. What’s happening is stranger than faction. It’s a nightmare. The broader problem of there being so many who kowtow to him rather than call him out, that a considerable part of the population who continue to support him is compelling proof that we indeed have a problem in our country; that it’s somewhat prevalent in other countries throughout then world is even more troubling. It will end. How so is the problem that we need to concentrate on. We will not play his game, though, because his behavior is so debased that the proverbial honey versus vinegar adage must win the day.

I think you may be confusing “like” the policies with cowardice.
I have no clue why you said that. I didn’t use the word “like”. Voters don’t need courage to tell pollsters what they think.
I was talking about the politicians not the ones answering polls.
You were the only one. The conversation had turned to the Joe & Jane. The link says “approval rating plummets trump immigration”
Newsflash, Steven: Minnesotans aren’t the only ones who are enraged!
That's for sure.
He couldn't do all this alone. Most, if not all, of the Republican Party have either helped him or have ignored every awful thing he's done, starting with his first disastrous term. Anybody remember the million-plus dead from the pandemic? I do. We lost a close family member to it.

Today’s ruling (or lack of) of the SCOTUS re: Trump’s tariffs is crucial to figuring out how far gone they are.
