Simon, Todd Telford here asking you to please consider discussing some of the ideas that I’ve put forth here in what I call #ProjectCarrot on tonight’s subscriber chat. And even better would be for you to talk to Ken Martin directly about his potential role in this plan that could change the direction of America in a month.
We need to convince just six House Republicans that they can #FlipTheHouseNOWAndBeHeroesForever.
The problem with this idea is that they can join us, we elect them, and then they switch back to Republicans after we win. It is a better idea in the abstract then reality.
Excuse me sir, but why does everyone in a respectfully competent position in journalism or politics or whatever continue to discuss the ramifications of everything he does instead of the sole REASON, besides staying out of prison, is to destroy our democratic republic. Period. That's it.
Our nation is being attacked by no less force than Pearl Harbor. Why is Chuck Schumer being so blinkin polite and proceedural against the end of our Constiution??
Come on, this is it. It will be over if we continue to respectfully bend the motherfin over!!!!
I'm pushing 80 with broken worn out joints. In September of 1967 I swore a solemn oath to protect and defend the Constitution of The United States of America againt all enemies, foreign and domestic with MY LIFE!!! I have never felt so alone. You expeienced experts are talking TWADLE. The GOP was busted in 1939 trying to pull off a coup in support of Adolph Hitler.
The very same GOP has the t-Rump as their new face and Putinskaya is the Hitler for the very same oligarchy. RUST NEVER SLEEPS! Stay awake.
Important to add (1) one thing to understand what is going on in Trump's deteriorating brainpan. And to emphasize (2) another thing which Rob touched on. This may be too brief:
(1) There is a method to his madness: Many of Trump's economic actions are meant to force businesses to relocate to inside the U.S. (He says this out loud, now and then.) In his mind, the tariffs make offshoring too expensive & homegrown wares more palatable; the social welfare cuts force Americans to privatize those services; etc. Back here in reality, the policy craziness already dissuades many businesses from making new investment; the social cuts will bring destitution; & the less immediate access to education & science research will destroy, not only future innovation, but also the readiness of our future entrepreneurs & labor force. Trump clearly hopes to jump this hurdle by firing Powell & reducing interest rates to keep the economy moving. Of course, this will exacerbate the macro conditions that Rob mentions.
(2) Trump's economic and political animosity to our foreign trade partners comes at EXACTLY the historical moment when they will be happy and capable enough to throw the U.S. overboard. They are not static; they are doing increased deals with each other & they are looking for an alternative to the dollar. China is making inroads with U.S. trading partners (& Trump is being forced to include restrictions on China trade in his bilateral tariff deals, which will be totally unenforceable due to the enormous amount of work required of any Administration to keep track of all those different deals.) Worse, if the EU makes something like a stablecoin backed by the euro, it will be globally instantly fungible, and that would allow investors everywhere to make wholesale runs on the deteriorating fiscal situation in the U.S. China is well aware of this, but the reason they have trouble in promoting the renminbi is because no one seriously believes they will respect private property rights (and it may be an insurmountable problem for them.)
@Simon: After the election you said Democrats need to change their approach to communications. In that vein have you seen Patrick Stevenson on Substack? He’s a next-gen political pro. Just did a two part piece on how to do digital engagement in 2025, not 2016. I recommend it to all. And perhaps you would want to interview him.
Apologies this is off topic but it’s very worth five minutes of your time.
Simon, You could cut that one part and make it a short. Starting at 5:13. And going to 6:40 plus or minus.
You can make several shorts from this talk!
Trump wants the masses to be in poverty, while the billionaires rule and control the means of production.

Should we support Steve Schmidt’s SAM van initiative to follow and expose ICE tactics in LA? Do you think its a good investment?

THIS IS A COUP. Wake up.
