Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

So clueless & clearly so over your head. Try consuming factual, well-sourced, credibly verified news & lay off known pathologically dishonest right wing media, aka, FAKE NEWS. BTW, professional journalists are bound by code of ethics to report facts, truthfully. RWM is entertainment🚫 News.

Boycott all college and professional sports until pro-Trump sports oligarchs turn on Trump to save their profits: No tickets, no media, no merchandise, no betting. Use sports to hurt Trump.

Pfffftt - Nonsense The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a preliminary downward revision of 818,000 jobs for the 12 months ending in March 2024, a reduction of about 30% on what was initially reported. Final numbers were released in February 2025.

GQP no longer gives a damn about the people, ONLY holding onto power regardless of the harm they're doing to their voters! Gerrymandering robs the people of their voice! In my facist red state, we vote FOR an issue & they TAKE IT AWAY: we have no voice, no democracy! They want total control over us!

What's scary is that every republican in office is complicit, an accessory, & co-conspirator in the coup! The entire administration including Vance & every fake cop, fake judge, & the entire Heritage Foundation will be charged & punished by a legitimate justice department of the next administration!

If they try to prevent any election, they will be removed by mobs of millions, the military will either be with the people or divided & we'll have the civil war they've been pushing for since they lost the last one! The military is sworn to protect the country from all enemies, foreign & domestic...

I sincerely hope McEntarfer sues Trump for defamation. Everyone knows she’s a dedicated, honest and professional statistician. Where is his evidence to dismiss her? Present it at the court, Trump. Of course, there is none! This is the revenge of a puerile man-child for bad news. Risible!

The thing is, he keeps doing things like this without any chastisement from the GOP. This is what happens when the foolish public gives all the power to the Republican sycophants. The Congress, The Senate and allowed the SC(R)OTUS to pander to the mushroom.

Mary Trump holds PhD in clinical psychology. Shes qualified to determine the sociopathic behavior’s of her uncle Dumbster. In addition most recall the #27psychiatrists who wrote “#TheDangerousCaseOfDonaldJTrump”, #ADutyToWarn” - shes not alone, but has unique insights to his psychoses. #Resist

What Orwell missed is that at least a third of the people in the dystopia will love the abuse and beg for more. Collaborators love rolling around in filth, it makes them feel special.

You are correct. Writers like Orwell could imagine 24/7 surveillance but never dreamed of the internet! There's always a video. There's always an audio tape. There's always a post online. Point is the resistance to what's coming needs to stay informed and work together.

The only true history of this time will be told by media and historians from other countries, just like the only reliable documentaries of the Nazi regime are those from allied countries as opposed to anything from Germany.

We always thought we were too great to fall for this kind of bullshit- too together to allow the "strong-man" to get a foothold. We believed we were protected by our 900 BILLION dollar defense system; but never thought russian propaganda could penetrate it like BUTTAH. Oopsy.

Trump knows that the medium is the message, and he intends every medium to carry only one message: his own fucking lies. That's not just authoritarianism, which is bad enough, but the shrinking of the American brain until they it as small as Trump's sorry dick, as reported by Stormy Daniels.

Many of us have seen this coming from Trump LONG ago - like even before his 1st administration. The problem is that all GOP reps are in lock step with him, they have control of all 3 branches of government and the Dems still don’t fight fire with fire. Where are the loud gutsy honorable leaders?

There are no Goldwaters left in the rethuglicans party with the balls to push back, and say enough, like Senator Goldwater from Arizona personally went to Nixon and told him he had to go or be impeached. Of course Pres. Ford pardoned him so he never paid for his crimes, but Democracy was saved.

GOP ignoring all the red flags is one thing but dems doing the bare minimum, when they can do more show what is wrong with the current system, dems know they are the only option so they would win eventually and when that happen they will collude with the remain of GOP to repeat the cycle

Yes this IS scary stuff. Every damn day. Who is going to stop him? Impeach the Supreme Court judges who made it possible for this incompetent, treasonous, felon to run-a-muck. It has to STOP. It’s getting like….. Ho Hum…. What’s this POS going to do today.

Don't forget about every spineless GOP Senator who refused to convict Mafia Monster of impeachment after Jan 6! All these lawless, spineless, Americans hating jerks are responsible for the horror we're living. Evil, corrupt GQP only gives a damn about themselves & holding onto power NOT us!

I wish all talking heads, grown up men and women, would stop over-using the word 'scary.' Every time I hear it I think of someone cowering in a corner, chewing fingernails, self victimizing. Put some fire behind your statements, for crying out loud. Sorry not sorry. 🤷🏼‍♀️🫤

Blame goes to the gutless, craven, and ethically challenged debased losers like ABC, CBS, WP, NYT, corporate media, law firms, universities, and the entire fascist Republican Party who have sold their worthless souls to the demented devil in the WH.

They owe the public nothing. They owe their shareholders profits. They can't produce profits by attacking the person who can most impact those profits. Capitalism doesn't work, but it ain't going anywhere because Americans are so inward looking

It’s really frightening. I didn’t imagine that the American Constitutional Republic would end with a few dozen billionaires transferring more wealth to themselves and 70+ million racists would bring down a democracy, but in 6 months they’re halfway to a dictatorship and complete autocratic control.

Really, it was one day of protests. Relatively small ones, at that. While almost every single institution folds like a cheap rag. A more docile society of knee-benders has never existed. Always ready to punch down, then back to licking boots.

ONE DAY ONLY? You're clearly addicted to pathologically dishonest, intentionally divisive, right wing propaganda! If you have any interest in the truth, consume factual, well-sourced credibly verified news; journalists are bound by a code of ethics to report FACTS TRUTHFULLY. RWM is entertainment.

Isn't #LarrySummers suspected of long stays at little St. James Island? He had close ties with #Epstein for 30 years! I know for me. I don't spend weeks at my friends home. It's been reported and flight logs agree that he spent THOUSANDS of hours with #JeffreyEpstein

Thought he was talking about Obama. Nixon covered up something he didn’t start. Obama amplified plan having trouble getting off the ground. He disregarded the previous reports and ask for them to “show how” Trump colluded not whether he did. His subordinates got the message and the lies began.

Nixon was reined in fairly quickly, with people from his own party telling him to get out before they impeached him. Trump indulges in ever worsening behavior because the GOP refuses to push back. Trump should be blamed, but his enablers make it all possible.

WELL THEN WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS SHIT TO HAPPEN??? FELON TRUMP IS NOT A KING NOR A DICTATOR - IN FACT HES NOT EVEN OUR PRESIDENT - WHY THE FUCK IS HE STILL IN OUR HOUSE??? TRUMP IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS TO - STOP LETTING THIS MADMAN DESTROY OUR COUNTRY!!!!

Unfortunately this is what I'm seeing all around me,in my defense I haven't been to a rally, but the majority I see don't seem to notice we're becoming the 4th reich. I hope Orwell was wrong but he was pretty spot on. Just sayin...

Millions have been on the streets repeatedly across the country over the 6 months of his term, and if you missed out you can join the next one. Or you can do any of a dozen other things to resist. The failures have been among the money class, not the rank and file. thehill.com/homenews/sta...

The was an old Soviet joke: -Why was our flight delayed by one hour? - One of our pilots saw the problem with one engine, but now it’s alright. - You changed engine in just one hour? - No, we’ve changed the pilot. That’s not a joke in the U.S. anymore.

Capitalism doesn’t work. It’s a failed system in case you haven’t taken a look around you. And the Soviet government didn’t allow white nationalists and fascists run free. And the Soviet Union only went defunct because they were outspent by the USA.

He says to George Stephanopoulos who was at the center of the ABC capitulation. Go away & hang your head! All of you jerks got us into this, including Summers who was with Epstein hobnobbing - who screwed up the economy for decades! FU all!

The horse is out of the barn and running into the sunset and Dem leaders are like "well, we seem to have an open door situation and it's scary to think that horses might get out. I'm writing a strongly worded letter urging that we study closing the door."

he horse is already out of the barn, galloping into the sunset and Dem leaders are like, Hmm, looks like the door’s open. It’s scary to think horses might escape. So now they’re writing strongly worded letters urging a study on how to close the door.

"The courts", he said. The courts have their own hierarchy of course. At the base, it's still a "fringe" democracy. But does that even matter when at the highest levels it clearly is not? I don't think so.

Scary is an appropriate description of what's happening, but it should be stirring more anger and patriotism instead of fear! "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself"... Action is the cure for fear!

Every weekend I say he is going to loose more MAGA than the last..I wouldn't be surprised if they lose over 50 from the House and the Senate that are running are gone already!

They are going to gerrymander the hell out of every deep red bumpkin district the can find in every state. Unless we respond in kind we will get run over, those low-engagement people in rural communities think he is the second coming of Bujeebus.

You're right, it is scary stuff. Unfortunately, the MAGA Morons can't see that. They think it's great because they are "owning the Libs", whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean. Just proving stupidity is dangerous.

It’s pretty amazing that people who are absolutely not left-wing are coming forward and expressing their concerns. I’m pretty sure they contributed to the developments along the way towards the horrible fascism we see now. Maybe this is a form of self protection? Good If he actually believes this.

It’s not way beyond what Nixon did it’s exactly the same: executive power abused to cling to power. The difference? Nixon had people in his administration with ethics and morals who defended the Constitution. Congress had honor, and SCOTUS functioned as it should constitutionally

It’s not way beyond what Nixon did—it’s exactly the same: executive power abused to cling to power. The difference? Nixon had people in his administration with ethics and morals who defended the Constitution. Congress had honor, and SCOTUS functioned as it should constitutionally.

Because it was performative bullshit and they wanted a real solution. The Republicans were never gonna vote to impeach it was dead before it began and was just wasting time.

At this point the ones who still do are the lifeblood of his base. Beer gut of the beast. If they can’t have it nobody can type of mentality. Hateful people. If Trump wasn’t born rich he’d be one of them. Violent, abusive and stupid. The poor and uneducated.

Yes, it is Larry, and we are terrified. So what are we going to do about it. It looks like everyone is sitting around with their thumb up their ass. While the Republicans get more and more corrupt and try to pass laws that help nobody but themselves. Taking us back to 1860 so they can control us.

I live in one of those horrible fascist red states that is bending over backwards to silence our voices, take away what we passed & now they're cheating AGAIN by gerrymandering the F out of our state so Mafia Monster doesn't lose the House in 2026. GQP doesn't give a crap about anyone but power!

Debi, you are exactly right. I live in Florida, a ruby red state. Our governor is DeSatan, and he is trying everything to get noticed by Trump. Including running over protestors or chopping them in little pieces and sending them to the family in a body bag.

Trump is your warning call. Your president/king has far too much power. When he is able to dismantle any and every thing he wishes, when he wishes, do you not realise there is something wrong right at the core?

if this keep going on i wont be surprised that even if dems win, trump could disssolve both the senate and congress, trump already use the emergency power at its will with no accountability even with the justice system telling him that is wrong he right now its above the law.

seems like spending an extra few trillion supporting our fellow citizens in the wake of the financial crisis and then actually holding those who fraudulently created that crisis and then benefited off of it to account might have actually been worth it...

Too late to speak up now is what I mean, he should go back to appeasing the felon. When people in previously or presently important position sit quietly on the sidelines, they're in fact complicit.

Why is Larry Summers surprised "other officials aren't resigning?" That's the absolute WORST thing that can happen. For every good person that resigns, the orange shit stain can just drop in another of his fascist enablers... #FMAGA & #FDT

MAGA followers are going to get hurt.They are going to suffer economic & health care losses, loss of loved ones, employment & service losses,supply losses, etc.It will catch up with them, no matter how much they ignore facts.The Greedy Oligarch Party is doing what they get away with until they don't

I believe that we do not have the option to do nothing. Each of can do something, regardless how small. US citizens need to remember that, because the cost of doing nothing is too great. And hard as it can be, we need to be nice, because we have to be unified in saving our government.

Wont happen when you only have 2 options and both are sustained by corps. The system is already rot and the last election prove us that, america need more options until that happen its hopeless

You know what failed, The judiciary system, they are a joke that allowed a convicted criminal run in the first place, after that whatever the court do that goes against potus its pretty much ignored, he can do whatever he wants no one can hold him accountable of his actions

The rot is now so deep it's hard to see a way back. The US Supreme Court and the selection process is undemocratic, the appointment of the entire judiciary is completely prejudiced and ineffective. The Election process, the Electoral College, all corrupted
