Thanks, Rick, for keeping it real. This Florida girl reads Russian and European history to watch the timelines. Anne Applebaum’s body of work is superb. But that’s Europe and this is Florida. I’m glad the farmer’s mad at Congress. But what can Florida do to bring down Moody & Scott? Especially Scott! He looks like an Elon bro. Keep up the good work. Totally expecting you, George Conway, Ron Steslow, Reed Galen & Mike Madrid to get hit by the Bondi/Patel duo of doom. I expect nothing but the best return that you will give them. Take care.
Here's a really great JVL and Sarah pod about Trump's tanking poll numbers. Lotta voters out there thought Trump would do something about inflation and egg prices.
Reminds me of the '16 primary where Li'l Marco was revealed as the archetypical Miami corruption-adjacent empty (sharkskin) suit. Like a drug mule extra in Miami Vice.
Hitler and the Sudetenland: All the Czech arms factories were there. Skoda, and all the rest. They made the best. And Hitler wanted that.
As to Bannon: he's finding out that he's too old to party with the Elmo InCels. And since he's such a student of history, he oughta look up Stalin Purges.
JVL, using D&D nomenclature, called Elmo Chaotic Evil while Bannon is Lawful Evil.
Nobody has their finger on the pulse of right-wing populism more assiduously than Bannon. Like the doomed Gregor Strasser, the ideologue of left-wing Nazism, he has a hardcore base in MAGA that Elon doesn't have and never will have. That base is only threatening to Trump to the extent that it goes off the reservation, the way Elon is far off the reservation and only hanging on thanks to his boatloads of cash. If it's a war between Elmo and Sloppy Steve, I predict Sloppy Steve will win it easily. Elon is far more threatening to Trump's popularity.
You scared me today Rick… I have written to my congresspeople and Senators. I'm in a blue State so I have faith they will do the right thing but I made my expectations clear just the same!
100 percent Rick. Don’t surrender without a fight. Thank you for laying this out in an unflinching way and detailing how to fight back. I’m in the determined opposition with eyes wide open. Appreciate you.
Today I will make 5 calls and write emails. Say NO to ALL of this Antichrist regime. These are frightening times! Yesterday a MAGA told me to stop talking politics and relax. RELAX? Hell no I won’t relax.
Rick, I know you are right about this moment, but I can't hear it yet. My head starts feeling like it's about to explode. I only got through the first 9 minutes, and then the pain blinded me. It could be the end of the world....I used to think 'hate' would always lose, but it's winning now.
I absolutely agree that Trump/Musk have sold their souls to Putin. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea is a craven traitor to the United States. They could care less about the lives of people around the world, because all that matters to them is their own personal power and wealth.
Thank you Rick! Listened with my husband, sent to our kids and family.
I feel like there is no joy that resonates anymore knowing what is going on…Knew this would happen but kinda didn’t think it would be this devastating. Between siding with evil Putin and Musk and his muskrats destroying our country while the entire GOP remains silent…it’s totally hair on fire feeling all of the time
Downloaded the 5 calls app! Unfortunately live in red FL. But will call and call and repeat
Thank you, Rick! I can’t believe we are here now and how quickly this has all happened. Just like all never trumpers like the Lincoln project had warned us. I’ve been telling those around me about this for years and they said none of that could happen here and here we are. The worse part is that no one is stopping him. The feckless republicans are too scared to say or do anything and the democrats… where are they with screaming this from the roof tops and dividing resources to constantly be in Americans faces letting the public know about this? Most people aren’t even aware of this. We can’t count on the media either. It’s absolutely disgusting and truly scary of what is happening

That was great. Also, I'm extremely pissed off. I want to say, to our allies, we are not onboard with this Russia cock sucking bullshit.
Keith Olbermann on a massive tear. We need a new commander-in-chief immediately:

re Marco and Lavrov: he was beaten with his own belt. Totally punked. Just like Trump and his 2018 Putin Helsinki performance review.
Reminds me of the '16 primary where Li'l Marco was revealed as the archetypical Miami corruption-adjacent empty (sharkskin) suit. Like a drug mule extra in Miami Vice.
There’s a particular Castro regime insult descriptor for Rubio: Gusano. WORM.
Hitler and the Sudetenland: All the Czech arms factories were there. Skoda, and all the rest. They made the best. And Hitler wanted that.
