It is scary how many top military officials who worked under trump during his first term can collaborate these claims. And still his fan base doesn’t care. According to cnn “The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, told Bob Woodward in his new book “War” that the former president “is the most dangerous person to this country … A fascist to the core.”
We need more pure facts and honesty like this. Glad to see all the research put together in one good story. We are going to need these kinds of stories during 45-47 term. I have hope we can all survive him and them!
Let's take the spotlight of the Trumperor for a moment and shine it out into the darkness of the world he is the cheerleader for. Think of the hundreds, perhaps thousands of younger White males chanting Nazi slogans, marching armed with an assortment of weapons through Charlottesville, showing up at a performance of the play "The Diary of Anne Frank," going to Springfield OH to intimidate Haitians, and oh, yes, showing up in my little Florida city to threaten a Black Lives Matter march. When one of the Nazis was videotaped brandishing a pistol and the police chief was shown the video, he chose not to arrest or remove that individual. At some point in the next four years, maybe at many different places, the fascists will feel free to engage in more than shouting, more than marching.
Greg Abbot is crippled mentally and morally. Here in our small town in Floriduh, the city responded to marches by our local Black Lives Matter by forcefully arresting the leader and falsely accusing him of Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer. Marlowe waited two years for his trial, shadowed by law enforcement stopping his car and entering his home, losing his job. His public defender urged him to accept a plea deal of 2-5 years in prison rather than risk double that. With the help of NAN we got him an attorney. The prosecutor claimed he had a video showing Marlowe assaulting the cop. The video sent during Discovery showed no such thing--the prosecutor claimed he sent the wrong one. During the trial the prosecution had only two witnesses, the cop assaulted and his partner. The partner testified he did not see the battery. The cop who filed the charge in a Perry Mason moment admitted he may have "touched" Marlowe but Marlowe did not touch him. Marlowe was acquitted.
Really glad that Marlowe didn't take a plea deal and was ultimately acquitted. But that's still a terrible miscarriage of justice. That prosecutor should be ashamed of themselves.
Thanks for running this horrible episode down again in brutal, honest detail. He said it but will not own it. People like Musk , Hegseth parrot the lie and the trumpets lap it up. Will we ever be able to put white nationalism back in the ugly box where it belongs?
It's like a game of Twister for these folks on the right to simultaneously defend and distance themselves from white supremacists. Sorry, you can't be hateful and popular at the same time!
Since when have facts ever mattered to Joe Rogan or any of the MAGAT faithful? Trump could literally rape and murder Ivanaka in broad daylight, in the middle of Times Square during the Friday rush hour with the whole event being live-streamed to the Internet, and those people would STILL claim there was nothing wrong with it or that it was "fabricated" - and more to the point, Trump would probably manage to walk away from it.
Reality and the MAGAT movement parted company a very long time ago.
They are no good guys and bad guys. They're all very bad players. Stop complaining about Donald Trump and his extreme-right connections. Biden and Kamila with their blood thirsty attack-dog Netanyahu make Trump look like a saint.
It seems the qualifications to be a politician is to first be a spinner of lies, corrupt, eager to send young people to die in foreign countries to enrich the wealthy, and the face of the cabal.
Biden and Harris are the 21st century Hitler and Hess so no one buys the nonsense that the US would be better under these two genocide enablers.
Can you point me to any Republicans criticizing Netanyahu or the actions in Gaza? The sad reality it's the Trump and the Republican Party are even more on board with the "Greater Israel" crowd than the Democrats.
I agree with you JR. As I said, both parties have corrupt officials which proves the point that Tulsi Gabbard made that it's the rich military industrial organizations that really control the policies of the Administration, no matter which party is in power.
While China has invested billions in it's manufacturing, universities, research & development, the US has squandered billions on losing wars. The world has woken up to this legacy and the BRICS nations and the multitude of applicants to this organization is rapidly moving away from the US. The Democrats had the nation's majority in it's hands and they squandered it on pursuing two wars. The nation wants living wages and affordable prices, not wars, and not tariffs, which is another tax on the consumer. Where is there hope for the future ?
Jesus fucking christ on a crutch are we still doing this??? He was talking about the night before! There were only 2 sides - the huge group of torch-wielding orcs, and the anti-fascist protestors! He said what he said and there is no equivocation!
Mehdi - you sat down with Hasan Minhaj. You discussed his latest Off with His Head show. Remember his characterization of how to be "insufferable"? It doesn't work to persuade hearts/minds. Your regular audience here already knows Trump World lies. Fact-checking doesn't work, only feeds into that "being insufferable" profile and getting dismissed by those who need to be paying attention. Showcase events that are actually happening to people and then connect it to the bread crumb trail that led to what people are experiencing or about to experience. Fact-checking Trump's lies just won't work and frankly, I'm starting to want to unsubscribe from stories like this.

Don't forget that Greg Abbot, that gaping asshole, pardoned a man who was convicted of murdering a BLM protestor.
A man whose actions were shown to very much be premeditated.

Perfectly said Mr. Rock. The lesser of the two evils would have clearly been Harris. Too late now 😕

I along with about 40,000 people in Boston who marched in the wake of it, didn't think we had imagined it!
Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia…
Trump and Musk are fibbers? Shocking! Thanks, Jonathan, for this little reality check.
Rogan is a credulous idiot whose brain is starved of oxygen owing to his huge neck muscles??? Say it ain't so!!!
The far right is trying to scrub history. Even recent history.
Jesus fucking christ on a crutch are we still doing this??? He was talking about the night before! There were only 2 sides - the huge group of torch-wielding orcs, and the anti-fascist protestors! He said what he said and there is no equivocation!
trump has been doing this from the golden escalator. Mexico is sending criminals, rapists and (afterthought) "some, I assume, are good people."

Agreed. Singing to the choir in a gatcha sort of way about something years ago and making it new and relevant how? Upsetting.
