Let’s execute regime change quickly by weaponizing Trump’s inhumanity.
America, let’s make THIS THE WEEK that the Trump regime begins a humiliating unraveling. Call Republican House representatives and tell them that THEY MUST TURN AGAINST TRUMP when he REFUSES TO MEET WITH FAMILIES OF FALLEN SOLDIERS.
The NY Times tallied more than 30,000 lies from Trump in his first term, but there's one lie that he's completely incapable of telling. It will be his downfall:
"I offer my sincerest condolences for the loss of your son."
These are words he can never utter. MAGA would see through any attempt. He can't bring himself to show direct respect for those with more honor and courage than he can even fathom: members of our volunteer army.
He can and will never meet the eyes of parents of our fallen soldiers. That moment is his third rail, when absolute responsibility is undeniable. When he dodges that opportunity for living out the respect and honor that his office demands, it will be a bridge too far for MAGA.
And with that loss of the GOP base, maintaining lockstep support of Trump going forward will for most House Republicans mean going off the political cliff, lemmings for continued cowardice.
So in your calls to the offices of potential defectors, demand that they join the #ImmediateFlipMovement TODAY to declare as independent, fulfilling the patriotic duty within their oaths of office to caucus with Democrats. Only a #BlueHouseOversightRampage can stop the #TrumpMuskMillerVoughtProject2025BillionaireCabal from elbowing aside democracy for kleptocratic #RepubloFascism.
Tell them that this is the moment to rebrand as #ConstitutionalConservatives, taking the high road citing Trump’s violations of either of those concepts. And they will heroes when they yank away Johnson’s gavel and hand it to those willing to use its power.
They should do it this week as the House takes up enforcing the War Powers Act. Many have secretly been waiting for the proper pivot point. The snubbing of newly minted Gold Star Families is a tactical choice for that last straw.
Let us pray that this is how and when #HumptyTrumpty has his great fall.
Maybe as he plummets towards our barbed wire nest at the bottom, he'll choose in midair to flee to Hungary with as many of his emoluments spoils as he can scoop up.
Simon - I listened to your interview with Andy? From Midas Touch Weekend. It was a master class in effective communication by your- without openly Disagreeing with some of his “standard “ comments about the party etc ( tho I liked him overall), you explained why we need to disagree but not fight ourselves right now, and keep the focus on fighting them. Very calm, very eloquent, and your style of framing things came through. I now understand the psychology of the physical destruction of monuments and symbols, and why we need “hope with a plan”. Your description of peoples feelings about mid term elections and knee jerk responses also rang true - just fear without a plan behind it is not going to help the situation. And the concept that it’s political not just legal is good. Thank you for all you do every day, it’s keeping many of us sane.
Hi, Simon: Thank you for showing this interview. I will get our group pushing our congressmen on this important issue. Keep up the good work. I'm hopeful this war will weaken the regime politically.
Calls to TN Senators and my MAGA Congressman tomorrow. All three came out today in support of Trump's actions in the Middle East. OK, as Rep. Smith says, then vote for it. Go on the record and explain why.
Good to hear from Adam Smith; he exudes credibility. 100% agree with his point toward the end that the GOP should have to vote on this and not just shrug their shoulders (as Johnson was doing today).
How Mr. Smith stays calm, focused, and articulate at this time is phenomenal and heartening. I emailed my reps earlier, and I'll do that for as long as it takes. No single human being or regime should have unchecked powers. Ever.
Trump doesn’t care one iota what happens to American citizens or military. He is completely destroying our reputation and making life so difficult for anyone who has ever been an ally. He’s made a mess of lives for everyone!
Simon, I always love listening to You and Rep. Adam Smith. He is such a great, insightful Man. And yes, you are both Perspicacious. (my favorite word for the Two of you).
Tomorrow, I will make calls to the three Reps. of Congress and my Two Senators as well. I definitely will be very Loud when I tell them, We Must Urge Congress to Pass the War Powers Resolution!
You didn’t mention to distract the American public from the Epstein file fiasco. From my perspective, that is a more likely explanation than any of the reasons Mr. Smith mentioned.
Trump didn’t/doesn’t care. He is too naïve to have thought about the necessity of reasonable planning. He’s a draft dodger and has no experience on which to plan or to guide planning.

Hard for #JDVance to capitalize on that…
Say the truth, Netanyahu pulled us in to this war!! politicians need to tell the truth!!
We are in this war for Netanyahu and it is a destraction from Epstein.
Tia, this is about Trump. It's not about Epstein and Bibi.

Gentlemen, please explain this dynamic from a shia versus sunni angle.

Excellent information.
Please share it with others!

Exactly!

p.s. for Bluesky users one way to get this interview seen by more people is to like and repost it on Bluesky. Here it is: https://bsky.app/profile/simonwdc.bsky.social/post/3mg4iud3s3s22

He’s a professional, and an expert.
That helps explain it. He's very impressive, and it is such a relief from the Trumpian song and dance.
GREAT, Adam, as usual! Keep on!

Where is the military pushback?
