Have you read about the sale of Dominion vote counting system to a right wing Trump supporter recently reported on MSNBC by Rachel Maddow? Dominion has their election system ballot counting machines in 27 states. There is reason to believe that at least Pennsylvania election ballot counts were compromised to favor Trump in the 2024 election. This does not bode well for free and fair elections. Remember when Trump stated that if you voted for him in 2024 that you would never have to vote again? Please raise the alarm on this!

Gives me great hope! Although I think #12 will be the last pin to fall. The SC will survive, but six of nine judges have some ‘splainin to do once this is over…

He can’t figure out where he’s at without his puppet masters.

Someone has to lead him around like a nursing home attendant.

He can’t stay awake. He’s had a stoke and an MRI to check damage and cognitive tests.

Waiting for the “big bang”❗️

All 12 paragraphs have spelled out the last weeks of visibility to everyone in all three parties, on MSNBC, NPR, even Sunday Morning. Latest heard is that the Epstein Report in ugly true details , should be the pitchfork to the last Party, The Trump Party. I can see the pedo’s name being peeled off buildings and golf courses worldwide. I await in baited breath.

The magas base conditioned to view elites as corrupt couldn’t see the corrupt elites were in their own party? They ignored their version

Donald Trump’s apparent dementia is intensified by his lifelong racism, narcissism, and megalomania driven by stultifying ignorance and debilitating arrogance. He is intellectually, ethically, and morally unfit to hold any public office.

As revealed by the October 18 demonstrations—and confirmed by current approve/disapprove rankings: it is an irrefutable fact that Donald Trump’s Fascist Presidency is opposed by the overwhelming majority of Americans. This majority will not rest until Convicted Criminal Donald Trump is removed from office and either committed to an institution for custodial care, or thrown into prison—to be determined by the courts.

Trump must be furnished all due processes guaranteed by the Constitution—the same rights he denied millions of People of Color in his racist attempt to replace the USA’s Constitutional Republic with a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

The problem is, the people behind the "throne" like Miller are really the ones that are coming up with all the ideas, making all the decisions while the felon drools and craps his diaper and signs everything that is put in front of him.

There are huge forces of millionairs and billionaires that are members of the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation. These are people that because of their super wealth they have the right to take away the freedoms granted to us by the Constitution and control what our lowly citizens can and cannot do or have. It's a power trip for them. We must remember that these super-wealthy are not the conservitives of yesteryear that I, your parents and grandparents knew.

Many that wrote the Project 2025 are now in the felon's administration. To save time and space I have links for anyone that is interested. Links are in no particular order.

Don't let this next link fool you. It is an extreme right wing organization when they have articles like this, https://www.heritage.org/progressivism/commentary/how-venezuela-supporting-radical-left-wing-groups-the-us

https://www.heritage.org/

I think I have give enough links. I read the links and they scare the hell out of me or made me furious.

you wrote: “ … because of their super wealth they have the right to take away the freedoms granted to us by the Constitution and control what our lowly citizens can and cannot do or have.”

No such “right” exists. Perhaps you meant to type that THEY BELIEVE they have the right?

Their immense wealth, responsible for their distorted world views, will also be their achilles heel. The sands are already shifting beneath them, they feel it, that’s why they are buying island hide-outs and building bunkers, and paying politicians to do their extreme bidding. It’s desperation. It’s death spasms.

Well written and thought out, but one of your readers pointed out that Dominion voting machine company has recently been bought by a right wing Trump supporter. How did this happen? How can it be dealt with?

Very useful but read Christopher Armitage under his substack, The Existential Republic, which recently documented that these cracks are similar to those that occurred when other democracies were dying… in particular in Hungary. We must not weaken our work to save our country from authoritarianism despite these meaningful cracks in the maga base. And, until at least 2 of the majority of the SCOTUS votes against any of the despicable actions being taken by the regime, I would not bank on SCOTUS coming through for the country.

Much of what is happening now directly ties to the absurd decisions of the court on voting rights, gerrymandering, racially/ethnically targeted immigration enforcement and presidential immunity. This court will be judged harshly by history.

Personally, I respect the lessons of history but, I’m not reliant on one-to-one correlations. While common threads are common … each circumstance & situation is unique to its moment in time. I am hopeful that I’m witnessing the death spasms of the GOP and that major changes (for the better) are afoot as the pendulum swings hard.

I just do not know anymore. They are rigging the elections. With right wing companies buying voting machines, voter suppression laws in full swing, the complete destruction of the voting rights act and blatant gerrymandering, how exactly are we, the people, supposed to throw the bastards out?

TFG will also put troops into blue cities next November to harass and intimidate voters.

Unless we can overcome all these obstacles and throw out both Houses, nothing will change.

Absolutely nothing.

It’ll be decades of crushing poverty and power hungry billionaires running everything.

You think his power is crumbling? They hold all the cards.

We will see.

I have been thinking that eventually they would be the architects of their own demise. Maybe trump has something on John Robert’s since he apparently visited the famous island. It’s all coming out, sooner or later
