Donald Trump is sending out troops now to condition the US population to having troops in our cities. This is part of his plan to remain in power when his term ends. That is Trump’s master plan, in my opinion!

I have emailed my R congressman multiple times. Asked him specifically …twice… his opinion re pardoning J 6 domestic terrorists. His response…crickets. Vote him out --NJ 7

Fanone—I’ll set a website up for you for free. Would love to present truth in Law and Order.

Thank you for coming on the show and sharing your thoughts. Happy to know about your YouTube show and will try to follow you. The destruction of of government has been incredible and like you I’m concerned about ever being able to go back. Putin’s wishes are being fulfilled and China is thrilled.

With the ICE expansion, the standards are likely 'relaxed'. https://bsky.app/profile/opsan.bsky.social/post/3lv7xbkygyk2z I wish it struck me as funny.

Has Fanone ever been on Joe Rogan? I would love to see that. Visually, he looks like a MAGA voter, but he’s the exact opposite, which would make the back-and-forth particularly interesting. No one can accuse Fanone of being some snooty liberal elite. He’s simply an upright, honest, ethical, truly patriotic American. Something MAGAs pretend to be, but are not.

I’m sure Joe Rogan would take him. I hope it happens.

Thank you, MIchael Fanone, for continuing to tell the truth. Yes, the question is how do we right this ship, with so many twisted, un-American sickos in charge? Truth-tellers and standing together will be a huge part of it. But it is scary, as you say.

To the publisher and editor of The Bulwark, Tim Miller is--by all odds--your best spokesperson. Not snide. Not cute. Not posturing. Well-read without ever being pretentious. He is a real person first - and interviews and comments from that space.

The "Kill them" video reminds us of how easily January 6th could have been much, much worse. Fanone was nearly fatally injured, overrun by hostile and violent insurrectionists, beaten and electrocuted repeatedly as the crowd screamed at him and suggested, "Kill him with his own gun." Yet, he refrained from firing on them. The people convicted and pardoned for seditious conspiracy stockpiled weapons for the day. Some in the crowd had firearms. And if someone had lit that match?

Fanone is fantastic! This all just says they do NOT back the blue and certainly don’t care about justice, democracy, or the American people.

I’m so tired of being angry and upset every day, all the time. I don’t know if my heart can take this for 3.5 more years.

You need to have at least one day/week (two days if you can do it) where you don't watch or listen to any news, from any source. Not a solution but it does help 'recharge' the battery, reground yourself. Myself, I like to hike, garden and read. I don't know of anybody who is thinking about politics and the state of the world while engaged in any of these activities. Whatever your bliss is, do that.

I just read an article about super agers, the 80 somethings and 90 somethings that have the health and brains of people 20 years older. One of them was a Holocaust survivor who volunteers at the Holocaust museum in Chicago testifying to school children. My immediate thought was “if he could survive X years in a concentration camp and be 90 years old, still telling the tale, then I can survive 3 1/2 years of Trump, working the entire time to tell the truth and get rid of him”.

I mean, think about the Ukrainians living with constant bombings the past 3 years. I’m getting a new roof today, and the hammering shaking the walls and my ears is really getting to me. That made me think “what if these were bombs, and it happened every day?”

We can get through this. Don’t give up. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

Does he need approval? Vetting? Or can he simply be hired? Was there a time previously when there was more oversight or scrutiny for those hired into the justice department?

And if that oversight is now gone, what can be done to prevent the wrong people from getting those law enforcement jobs?

"Have you no decency sir?" The full meaning of that may need to be resurrected, certainly the word decency has been pounded into a mere vapor of its original self. We may need to go back to basics and redefine, write out, who we really are, what we really want to aspire to, what is true?

I don’t know how Fanone handles this level of betrayal. I hope he has unlimited access to a rage room.

Just when you thought The Dearest Donald couldn’t go any lower. … the elevation, celebration, and monetization of lawlessness … in everything.

Trump could rape a 12 year-old on Fifth Ave. and shoot any cop who tried to arrest him, and he wouldn’t lose support of a single Republican.
