Sarah Longwell joins Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House to break down Trump’s insane executive order targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor.
Very good interview, Sarah! You were clear, forceful and passionate about Trump's illegal (hopefully) EO targeting Krebs and Taylor, as individuals, for no other plausible reason than that he truly believes them to be traitors and wants to destroy them financially.
Yes, this is the most autocratic action he has taken to date, taken straight out of Putin's playbook. What's next? Disqualifying candidates?
Have Krebs and Taylor filed suit? In his deluded mind, Trump found probable cause to believe they dissed him and directed his (not the people's) Justice Department to investigate them, solely for the malicious purpose of bankrupting them. (It's so sickening and sad.)
It was just an excuse for Krasnov to break out the giant black crayon and put his signature on a folio. He thinks EOs are law, but they are worthless in this instance.
Sarah, it strikes me what a strong and clear communicator you are, as well as a person of such integrity. I always enjoy listening to you. Trump is such a bully/autocrat and I hope we can stop him. I also liked that you said, on the podcast, that you appreciate the people who marched on Saturday. I had to something more than donate money and write my rep.
Trump probably has drawer full of go-to media deflections for whenever one is needed. Investigate him, sue her, sic the media on "those radical left lunatics". Taylor and Krebs are nothing but patriots, people who stood up, spoke the truth and served their country well. All things that Trump cannot tolerate. These two must be made examples of, so no one else starts feeling similarly patriotic, in Trump 2.0
Trump is trying to make it illegal, and persecutable, to disagree w him.
That’s what is happening.
This is the sick, vengeful Frankenstein that John Roberts jolted to life and mayhem by his bizarre ruling in favor of Trump’s now essentially unchecked power.
Don’t be surprised, Chief Justice, when the monster you created comes for you. Because he will.
We are witnessing the unleashing of a megalomaniac w more power than any one person since the height of the Roman Empire.
Good point! Unfortunately for DJT, U.S. v Trump pertained to immunity from *criminal* prosecution for "core" Art II acts and presumptive criminal immunity for 'outer perimeter' conduct -- not private acts; not acts outside his constitutional authority (e.g , acts delegated to or shared with Congress or to the Judiciary), not acts of a civil nature (e.g., defamation); not acts based on novel, expansive interpretations of statutes (e.g., Alien Enemy Act), ... And, not unofficial acts clothed in officialdom that violate individuals' constitutional right to free political expression.
I love the Bulwark! If only Tim was straight 🤣🤣🤣! Kidding aside since I am 70. The Bulwark is the first place I go when I get on YouTube ! Thank you for being so wonderful and standing in truth. George Conway is amazing too!
Are his fans turning on him, though? Not really seeing a lot of it. Even with the batshit crazy tariff fiasco, the Bill Ackmans of the world are lining up to tell him what a genius he is.

Republicans are trying to dial back women's voting rights and purge other voting rights with their SAVE Act.

Please expound these issues with a pod.
Thank you for the great free messaging. Democrats, this is what you say about this regime.

It is so difficult to just live when mentally ill sociopaths have so much power, affecting the whole world.
"Prices are not going down," Sarah said.
Not true!! Share prices in my 401k mutual fund went way down!

Stand up and show the law firms how it's done...

IMO, John Roberts is headed for 3+ years of sleep-deprived days. Due to night upon night of dreadful dreaming. Good. It's called karma.
Sarah, you are at your BEST when you are dead serious. Well done.
You go, Sarah! Great to listen to and on point!
He's probably using an executive order to give him the cover of an "official act" so he can cash in on his SCOTUS declared immunity down the road.

The Bulwark excels, in my opinion, because it offers moral clarity as well as charity to all those who want to stand on principle once again.
You go Sarah.
Torch'em.

His true fans will never turn on him, but the marginal voters who believed his lies about bringing down prices will never trust him again.
Let's hope so.
