Right now we are dealing with a government who have captured all levels of federal power, and are working overtime to keep up their long standing plan to divide us so we don’t unite to fight back. Trump wants America to conform to the America he has in his head, but he can’t do it alone, so he defers to people like Russel Vought and Steven Miller who want to burn it all down to rebuild the country in their own image. This is something we simply can’t allow, but to stop it we’re going to have to work together.

I think HC Richardson's 4-5 minute comment at @34 minutes (actually this whole conversation with Leigh McGowan) could form the basis of a future class on this Presidency.
(Constitutionalists had really hoped enough Conservative voters had paid attention to Trump's first disasterous term in politics to vote the traitor out… even to vote FOR the first fully qualified female President.)
How do the Rules apply when someone who is in place that is prejudiced? Among Other things 🤔
Nazi Level? It was literally a reused Nazi Speech.
First: There Is NO equivalency!
It is NOT the Dems!
It is the gop! It is maga!
Please do not blame us when we are doing everything in our very limited power to stop this sh*t!
We did not elect this regime!
We did not bring this disaster on our country!
We will fight and we will win!
The Trump regime is not doing anything good for the American people. Obviously they are doing a lot f evil things. Bad things are happening in Chicago and Portland.
No Kings protest Saturday October 18. We need to make noise and news. America needs to wake up to a better future. People need to be made aware of how many people oppose the actions of the Trump regime.
This whole regime should be a wake up call once we get past this to not allow this again
WE THE PEOPLE ARE SPEAKING!! WE WANT OUR LIFE BACK.
The Republican Party is nothing but a bunch of eunuchs for the cause, not a pair of balls in sight. Only a bunch of cowards incited their citizens to hurt the citizens who know the truth of who he is. This is how the elites always treat us,they use our children as cannon fodder and fight wars with them. When are we going to say ,use your own children to fight your wars! No we won’t do it to each other any more!
Can’t figure out her calculation.
Love Heather. But just don’t know who she’s talking about on the “anti-democratic far left.†The far right is now the entire Republican Party. The far left? Maybe a small rump faction. At most. Not equivalent.
But the billionaires want slaves! And MAGAs delivering us to them ,but don’t realize the chains are on their ankles too. Trump no longer needs them except to help him complete the task.he killed 1 million of us during Covid and disabled 4 million. Now he’s going for bigger numbers because he is destroying our health care system and we won’t be able to get help. Many of us have lost our doctors due to hospital closings and now we will have no insurance. The closing of USAID was to spread disease to kill us off.
And they are being paid by our tax dollars to support our constitutional rights!
There is no dime that can’t be wasted right now, we are not the richest country we are the most in debt and we have allowed our own reps to put us there
NO KING DAY, worked out fine, so now it's time for, "DO NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN" day
Just four words five million times
DO NOT VOTE REPUBLICAN
You ladies are the greatest….so proud of you and so proud of being a woman when I hear you discuss politics…you are so knowledgeable and erudite…wish I was younger to put my 2 cents in….even if I am Canadian and do not have any say in what goes on in America….my childhood in France during German occupation…parents died in the holocaust … history to be repeating…oh no!
The US has been in a war with Venezuela since Chavez was elected – much like Putin and Iran destabilize other countries.
The Vogon wants to far more than decimate many things in the US. Nonamate? Hard to use 2000 year old Roman military verbs when 10 percent is not accurate and nobody gets crucified.
Heather, recently I listened to a podcast between Steve Inskeep from NPR and someone else, the other person doesn't matter, Inskeep called authoritarianism “a styleâ€. I'm going to be very blunt here and ignore contextual information. Authoritarianism is never a style. Ever. He apparently did not read his Hannah Arendt or look at the history of Central Europe.
It is not a style.

Challenge the media: how can you ignore the obvious in our face psychopathology & criminality of the "mob boss" maga cult leader? As if Cagney or Brando were acting the worst lying, bullying mobster maniac, thw queens mob voice & all. Stop pretending this is normal! WTF USA
Ya but maybe 10 million max will take to the streets, not 341,000,000. I love HCR but she seldom seems to see the huge, dominating role that media takes in shaping public opinion and how these times are unique, a perfect storm of talk/hate radio, right wing cable stations with a coordinated disinformation campaign, internet algorithms that insure a bombardment of like minded right wing alternate reality tropes into tens of millions of homes 24/7/365. How can things possibly change when millions believe the liars.
Im joining the March arriving at Washington DC on July 4th 2026. We're bringing diversity of food and music.

Heather is awesome. So much insight and knowledge.
His own niece Mary said thats exactly what he would do.
All drama this administration does they think they are reality TV. I have no sorrow for Comey he dished it out and the same BS rebounded back at him. Karma
Disney eas going down, so they had to go with the people. We the people are stronger than we think, but we have to stand together in order to make a difference in the wealth marketplace. Refuse to buy, they lose, cancel subscriptions, they lose. It's simple really.
Project 2025 is the group guiding Trump. Peter Thiel, Russell Vought, and his constituents plus Mike Johnson and his puppets are followers of complete greed. They have no real strength or morals at all. They just have money and use corruption to keep it. If our SCOTUS was a real high court, they, this administration, and all associates would be in prison. â¤
I think we should open the Capitol, the Senate and begin working without them. Let them stay home and let Russell Vought do his scheming, I say, let's go open our offices without republicans, Heather. Who's going to stop us? Everyone is gone.😊

One more possible scenario to consider in an effort to cover any and all bases ……….. What if one wanted to have a secret meeting with just some of the seamier generals but did not want to make it obviously traceable … One might invite all the generals to a broader meeting and then carry out the real meeting under its cover right under everyone's noses (which is a Maga-Trump favorite) Yes? …….. Are we on this possibility? …
