Tristan, they will be more than on the run if there is a run on lawsuits. Every fired employee. Every contract canceled has a lawsuit. EVERY ONE! County court civil cases. Here is a primer. https://bit.ly/4i4b0Is

Trump and Muska re going to not obey the court sutis.

Why would you make such empty predictions? Trump and Musk are totally dependent on each other, and both are dependent on Putin. They have a common mission to destroy democracy in America, so they will never conflict.

Certainly we will see what the truth is very, very soon. The penalties a judge can had down for civil contempt are financial fines all the way up to incarceration. The judges I see have issued injunctions and if Trump and Musk fail to obey those now, the next step is up to the judge. I would not want to face that. Trump won’t go there. Think about a fine of $20 million per day until you comply. Meaningful to Trump, but Musk’s fine will be $500 million per day.

Who will enforce those decisions? Pam Bondi marshals? Kash Patel’s FBI?

Do not deceive yourself.

It’s a coup, and we’ve got to be ready for that only regular people if united can enforce it.

Musk and Trump with the help of Xi and Putin are already making sure that there will be no free and fair lections in 2028, or even in 2026. Don’t you see it? That’s why Trump is allying with Putin in his war against Europe and mimicking Putin in his threats against Canada. A Martial Law or similar will allow him change and disobey laws at will.

If I was a judge, I would jail them for contempt of court and deny them no bail!

We need a leader of the revolt. More activism.

OUTREACH. THE IRON IS HOT.

Get the dems out in the field where the MAGA town halls are canceled.

The time is right to tell republicans what Biden accomplished and what democrats stand for and how democrats will honestly fight for these red people. And we need to welcome them without judgement or resentment.

I live in a rural California county that went 80% for trump. They won't attend Democrat town halls. Maybe they could get a few independent to listen. They do not believe in facts. They truly think Trump was sent by God to save America.

I am hopeful that after MAGAs feel the financial impact and pain they will be desperate for help. Sometimes pain is the mother of change. 🤞😉

It doesn’t take very many of them to realize that they have been screwed over to compel them to finally turn against Trump and MAGA. One major factor in Trump’s defeat was that so many got on the Trump train in 2016 only to find themselves being thrown under it when Trump proved to be so corrupt and incompetent in being president,particularly with his poor job of handling the Covid pandemic. A lot of Trumpers become “de-Trumped” and voted for Biden. In last year’s election it was more of an anti-incumbent mood that got Trump re-elected and the exploitation of gullible low info voters as well. Now those voters are experiencing a FAFO moment as Trump and Musk take a sledgehammer to their benefits and entitlements that would have been otherwise safe under President Harris had she been elected. Elections do have consequences.. indeed.

It's a cult and they're brainwashed. This is an area with poor education & lots of Evangelicals. The smart kids knave & don't come back. Those of us who oppose Trump are organizing lots of pushback.

We're famous for being an extremist county - Shasta County, California. What happened here is what's happening on a national scale. We've been reported on by all the major newspapers. It's pretty appalling

I live in a red state and know how frustrating it is to try to get through to those with that mindset. So believing that as more of us have realized that dRump is a corrupt piece of work whose behavior is more consistent with someone sent by Satan, speaking TRUTH about him and his so-called administration will empower us to prevail over this nefarious, corrupt power grab that is against the best interest of our country.

Hello, Timothy D, I, too, have been saying for quite some time that any MAGAs who now see Trump as who he really is should be welcomed. No saying " I told you so," but shake their hands, give them a hug, agree with them, commiserate with them, then make a plan and execute it. For instance, Marco Rubio told s whopper of a lie. First Musk lied about USAID. USAID and all other foreign aid together are slightly less than 1% of our total budget. The contracts, which are billing us for work already completed but unpaid, Rubio said he read them all and wouldn't approve them for payment? Here's the big whopper. Rubio would have to have read 342 contracts PER DAY to have read them all. They are not one page documents. Not paying for work completed? Right out of Trump's bankruptcy playbook. How many workers has Trump stiffed over the years?

Harold Meyerson of "The American Prospect" has an excellent reveal on Elon Musk. Musk has a reputation/record for drug abuse. Some of that abuse strained his relationships with executives in his companies. Trump on the other hand is raising fears of compromising our Intelligence with Russia / Putin. Frankly, I have very strong belief that Trump already has done that. Our allies no longer can trust Trump; thereby they cannot trust the United States. It seems the Republicans are too afraid to do anything about it out of fear of Trump and the Democrats are simply too cowardly to do anything about it because they have no f**king leader. Trump doubtlessly has handed the United States’ secrets to Putin on a silver platter. I thought sharing trade secrets was punishable by imprisonment. Or, death.

Maybe we could give Ken Martin, newly elected chairman of the DNC, time to implement his more contemporary ideas and plans to rejuvenate the Blue Party. If Jamie Raskin, Chris Murphy, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie and Elizabeth can get together with Ken Martin, Al Green, and you name a few more brave souls, we could see some positive action.

I was ecstatic that they booted Hungary from EU voting. About freaking time. Now to get Orban out of the US political game! Project 2025 needs to be stomped into hell.

After the debacle in the Oval Office last Friday, the ridiculous appointments of unqualified and dangerous cabinet secretaries, the DOGE damage to just about everything, isn't time for the Republican constituents start demanding of their Republican House representatives to start impeachment proceedings for TREASON. The definition of treason is the crime of betraying one's country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. Trump, Vance, Musk, and all of their billionaire enablers (including gospodin Putin) have 'overthrown' numerous government institutions that benefit hundreds of millions of Americans and people all over the world. Impeach, now, or hold them, all of them, accountable for this destruction and chaos.

Thank you for the video! The key is for all of us to never stop pressuring and opposing the weak, cowardly idiots. There is no such thing as a ‘small contribution’ here. Leave your comments on Substack and elsewhere if that’s all you’re able to do. If you can only afford one paid Substack subscription to someone who is vocal and able to reach a wide audience, like Tristan, that is fine. The contribution of one can become the power of many.

Along with Adam Kinzinger and his Country1st adherents, plus Politics Girl and Meidas Touch (as well as Tristan) plus some Lincoln project stalwarts and Texas Paul (seriously), now we're talking.

They've had a 40 year head start. You all NEED to get on talk radio. I promise you will reach many more. Right-wing talk radio IS THE ISSUE. That's where we need to be.

Musk bought the clown car. Gov Walz offered to hold town halls where Republicans refuse to hold them.

I listened to the entire talk in chambers today by rep. AlGreene, and boy do I think he is right. We need a March on Washington style mega peaceful civil protest. I like him was around during the sixties and it is powerful stuff! (It is on YouTube)
