Like many of you all I am busy, even overwhelmed sometimes, with living my life. I don’t read enough. I don’t take action enough. I don’t write enough. I don’t engage enough with my allies and/or my perceived foes. As you all know better than me, we are out of time. Thankfully, it is a perfect time to wake the fuck up. This is that moment in time where we see “the whites of their eyes”. It is time to find time to donate, volunteer, engage, and confront when it is effective. And thanks to “The Brief” with Markos Moulitsas and Kerry Eleveld I learned about Simon Rosenberg at Hopium Chronicles. www.hopiumchronicles.com. As a reader and listener the monthly subscription has been a great value.
I hope I will be forgiven for lifting the 6 points below directly out of the most recent Hopium Chronicles Podcast which included an interview with Governor Gavin Newsom. I struggle with being articulate when I am angry. I lose my train of thought. The points below are second nature to most DailyKos readers, I post them for easy reference for myself and anyone else who may benefit. These are the main Truths that we (as a nation) have been holding back on. It is time to be furious, relentless, courageous AND tactful, clinical, and cold-blooded. Whatever it takes.
“And there are six things that voters are going to come to know about this Donald Trump that they didn't know in 2020 that I think are going to make it virtually impossible for him to win the election.
1) Number one, he raped E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room.
2) Number two, that he and his family oversaw one of the largest financial frauds in American history.
And he and Rudy Giuliani have now been together fined $700 million for their misdeeds.
3) Three, that he stole America's secrets.
He lied to the FBI about it.
And he shared those secrets with other people.
4) Four, that he led an insurrection against the United States.
He led an armed attack against the Capitol while all 435 members of Congress were there, which is an unusual thing, by the way.
It's one of the only days they're all there all at the same time.
And now he's promised to finish the job and end American democracy for all time if somehow he gets into the Oval Office next year.
5) Fifth, that he and his family have corruptly taken more money from foreign governments than than any political family in American history.
6) And sixth, he is singularly responsible for ending Roe and stripping the rights and freedoms away of more than half the population in the United States.
Any one of those things could be a disqualifier and make it impossible for him to win”. [Simon Rosenberg]
