Michael- I was getting worried about you. It's good to hear from you but stay in silence and thinking as long as you want. I am grateful for all that you do and for the person that you are. I have a feeling you are trying to understand the Trump voters, not getting ready to demonize them. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
If you were hoping that the Democrats were going to win, you have to ask yourself—Why? They take bribes from the same corporate criminals as the Republicans.
If you were hoping that the Republicans were going to win, you have to ask yourself—Why? They take bribes from the same corporate criminals as the Democrats.
The truth of the matter is that both parties are corrupt. Heck, we don’t even have two political parties. There is just one gigantic ongoing criminal enterprise. Republican or Democrat, politicians are always going to do exactly what the “donors” want them to do and this will not change until we collectively demand an end to the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world.
The Republicans and Democrats are using your tax dollars to fund, arm, and provide political cover for genocide—the worst crime known to man. To add insult to injury, these heinous war criminals say that they support Israel’s right to defend itself—like slaughtering thousands of innocent children could ever be considered self-defense. If this is not enough of a reason to withdraw your support from these two horrifically corrupt political parties—what the hell would be?
What if I told you that I could prove the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to subvert the rule of law? You know, conspiring together to strip away everyone’s constitutional rights--including yours. Would proof of treason be enough of a reason to withdraw your support from these two bought and paid for political parties? Well, I have that proof. I put it in a book. All you have to do is read it. (There is a link for a free digital copy in this post.)
My name is Ted Martin. I have finished writing a book about my first hand encounters with a morbidly corrupt federal judicial system. The book is titled: The Illusion of Justice and contains documented, incontrovertible proof of widespread systemic corruption in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of United States Courts, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Supreme Court not only ignored two of the most egregious cases of judicial misconduct imaginable (my cases) but also an amicus brief by former Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Richard Posner in which he blows the whistle on rampant corruption in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.
Judge Posner’s amicus brief is posted on the Supreme Court’s website at www.supremecourt.gov and can be accessed by typing in the following case number: Martin v. Living Essentials (Case No. 17-8352)
It will be painfully obvious to anyone who reads my book (or Judges Posner’s amicus brief) that the Supreme Court denies certiorari without even bothering to read the petitions submitted by the citizens of the United States. This obscene betrayal of the public trust is a clear-cut violation of every Justice’s judicial oath and a crime under federal law that is commonly referred to as honest services fraud.
In short, my book proves that the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been conspiring together to pack the courts with corrupt corporate judges who will never side with the American people. This was abundantly clear when Senator Chuck Schumer and the other Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee repeatedly refused to use irrefutable evidence of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett (a Republican nominee) at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing.
This bipartisan band of seditious conspirators also refused to address the underlying corruption in clear violation of their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
The only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric. The special interest groups running this country don’t give a damn which bribe taking stooge you vote for or even if you vote at all. They have already successfully rigged every election by controlling “our” choices.
The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have been caught red-handed conspiring to pack the courts with corrupt judges who will never side with you. If there was ever a reason to be a one issue voter, this is it. Besides, any politician caught lying about their fidelity to the Constitution and laws of the United States is obviously lying about everything—particularly their agenda.
Republicans push the corrupt corporate agenda. Democrats pretend to be opposed. Together, they sell their offices to the highest bidders. They foment war for the military industrial complex, promote racism for the prison industrial complex, refuse to restrict access to assault weapons for the gun manufactures, permit large quantities of toxic cancer causing chemicals to be dumped into our air, land, and water for the chemical manufactures, deny needed medical care to our country’s citizens for the health insurance and pharmaceutical industries, and turn a willful blind eye to the catastrophic effects of global warming for the fossil fuel industries. The list of their greed fueled crimes against humanity goes on and on.
Voting your current elected representatives out of office should be a no brainer. But, to make sure that they are not replaced with another batch of equally corrupt corporate stooges, we’re also going to have to take back both the Republican and Democratic parties and get the money out of politics.
While this may appear to be a daunting task, all we really need is a sound plan. After giving this matter some careful consideration, I have the following proposal: We agree to put aside all of our ideological differences and unite as Americans in support of the Constitution of the United States.
If you read my book, it really won’t be that difficult. You will know who the real enemy is and it certainly isn’t your fellow citizens. We just need to become one issue voters. Ignore their contrived wedge issues, bullshit talking points, and cringe worthy campaign ads. If they are not fighting tooth and nail to get the money out of politics—don’t legitimize them with your vote.
Seriously, if in doubt—throw them out. Besides, any government official who is not forcefully calling for the resignations of the corrupt leaders of their own political party is, by definition, violating their oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
Whether Republican or Democrat, a treasonous corporate criminal is a treasonous corporate criminal, they serve the same master and nothing is going to change until we get the money out of politics.
*You get the money out of politics by publicly funding elections, banning all campaign contributions, and, in exchange for their broadcasting/operating licenses, requiring news organizations to give every candidate for public office an equal amount of free advertising space.
In the future, I may write a book titled: The Illusion of Journalism. But for now, I’m just going to say that the media is not going to help anyone blow the whistle on their partners in crime. In the past four years, I couldn’t find a single news organization that hadn’t sold us out.
All an honest journalist would have to do is read Judge Posner’s amicus brief to know that the courts are irretrievably corrupt. Reading my book will conclusively show that the courts are corrupt by design.
P.S. I blame the Federalist Society for the corruption in the federal judicial system. The six so-called conservative justices on the Supreme Court, Mitch McConnell, and all the Republican Senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee are members of the Federalist Society. Donald Trump picked “his” judicial nominees from lists provided by the Federalist Society.
I didn’t know that the Democrats were in on it until I tried to give them proof of judicial misconduct by Amy Coney Barrett at her Supreme Court confirmation hearing. If you would like to read about their reprehensible conduct, you can skip ahead to the Postscript on page 221 of my book. But, for goodness sake, read the rest of the book. The courts are more corrupt than you can possibly imagine!
The judges in both of my cases incorporated the defendant’s fraudulent defenses into their opinions even after I pointed out the fraud in every brief that I filed. These “judges” are clearly taking dictation from corporate defense counsel without even reading the plaintiff’s briefs. These black robed grifters obviously fixed both of my cases. But, by far, the worst part of the whole ordeal was knowing that they were systematically violating everyone’s constitutional rights—they just got caught violating mine.
Ted your part of the problem why they lost. Why make us suffer on here more? Let me ask you something Ted. Why would you let a convicted felon, a rapist, a fraudster be elected than a good canidate that probably would of set Netenyahu straight and tell him no?? No one can answer that question maybe because their living in their own delusions, but there will be no roses here after with Trump or any good that will come. I am already prepared for what the Conservative justices will do now. They are not on any pro democracy side. I hope this gets people to get out and vote in 2026 if we even have elections.. We can only hope.
Harris had great plans for future that would have helped everyone. I looked forward to the common sense solutions without the Republican restraints of the past decades. This is more than disappointing. Like the RFK, JFK and Martin Luther King murders we are again stonewalled from progress on a large scale.
First of all, Harris is not a good candidate. She has repeatedly pledged allegiance to AIPAC, verbally attacked anti-genocide protesters, and refused to let peace activists speak at the DNC. She's also "honored" to have Dick Cheney's endorsement.
In the presidential election four years ago, I gave the Democrats everything they needed to defeat Trump, win overwhelming victories in the House and Senate, block Amy Coney Barrett's nomination, and impeach every Justice on the Supreme Court. It should go without saying, but only a co-conspirator would ignore their political opponent's corruption.
She was not a *perfect* candidate. If we require perfect candidates to keep authoritarians out of power, the authoritarians will come to power. It's as simple as that.
We should require candidates for public office to honor their oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." It's as simple as that.
No Harris did not any of those things you stated, you still have not answered why you would allow a convicted felon, and rapist into office. But I know your a Maga fan so no use argueing with someone delusional. Show me proof where she attacked protesters. Show me where she pledged to this imaginary AIPAC. Only Fox news spreads that garbage. Anyways your future dictator and king is now leader. And while he destroys everything you work hard for I hope your happy. Your an Illusion of Maga, not Justice at all. Wars will not go away in the middle east and while Netenyahu will still get full support for genocide you can still live in this bubble you came from.
I gave the Democrats proof of Donald Trump's treason four years ago. If the Democrats were not in on the corruption, Trump would be in prison.
In my previous posts, I suggested that people in swing states should vote for Harris because she was the lesser of two evils--but I also made clear that they should know that they are still voting for evil.
As for the "imaginary AIPAC" (The Israeli lobby) they spent over one hundred million dollars in the last election cycle bribing our so-called representatives to support the ongoing genocide in the middle east.
If "the only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric", then Trump voters should have just voted for the sane, smart, energetic candidate instead of the old, dumb, sexual predator...and save us four years of hell.
Because there IS a difference between the two PEOPLE, and that's no illusion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but give us a moment to grieve and freak out over that blatant takeover of the US by the Fascist Maga party. Your political rhetoric isn't helping right now. We can discuss the perhaps rational side of the significance of what happened in a while. Just, please, give us minute.

And yet only one of those two candidates was willing to concede when she lost. One of those candidates didn’t invite Christian nationalists to their home and boost people who incite boys to yell “Your body, my choice” at middle school girls. One of them didn’t choose a running mate who believes women should not have a way to get out of abusive marriages. I could go on. Look at what he’s incited on social media alone. His victory has emboldened the worst impulses this country has to serve up. You think Trump will help the Palestinians?? He said Biden was being too tough on Netanyahu.
It's been a state of depression for me all week. I'm so sad that the American people (including my own relatives) are okay with a man who has raped women, is destroying the rule of law, and is downright cruel. I am disgusted by the depravity of it. Right now, I'm in a state of mind that I don't want to fight for a people who would do this. I just want to leave. The problem is that right-wing fascism is gaining all over the world. I realize that I'm still in shock and thinking emotionally, so I don't trust my own thoughts right now, but damn, this just sucks.
Michael I've honestly been so worried about you. I'm so glad to receive the email notification of your post. We need each other now more than ever. Thank you for being here with us.
I had been in a depressed state until Friday at the gym. I asked a Trump voting mother of a special education student if she was planning to quit her job and homeschool after the Dept. of Education was gone and when trump planned to end it. I felt a flicker of joy when she got a look of terror and the reality of what she voted for sunk in. I'm sorry for her child, not sorry for her. Hoping to spread seeds of buyer's remorse to all the MAGAts. I am just a little sadistic rabble rouser.
You're not sadistic at all. You had insight, and she was myopic. Perhaps your flicker of joy came because you realized she was finally able to see the reality sinking in. You don't have to feel sorry for her. She'll live. She may be a little wiser now, too.
if it actually passes - which it may never - Trump said he would give the money to the states. There is lots wrong with a singular, one fits all dept of education, among them teaching kids only to learn standardized tests rather than being creative and think for themselves. Lack of creative people that can think is what this country is lacking.
Trump voters knew exactly what they were voting against. In their echo chambers, they were led to believe that rising living costs were Biden’s fault. They were frustrated with “wokeness” and transgender rights, and convinced that the Biden-Harris administration had allowed waves of immigrants in to vote for the Democrats—many of whom, they believed, were criminals and rapists. When shown what both parties offered, the public largely chose the Democrats. But it’s important to remember that fear and hatred remain some of the most powerful forces driving human emotion.
Thank you for letting us know you are alive. Was getting increasingly worried, as you know from my email to you. Take care. We await. ~ Sally from Oakland
Mike, As the results poured in and my heart broke for my neighbors, family, fellow citizens and yes, myself, I found myself sending you the deepest gratitude for always being someone who speaks the truth while maintaining hope. I know you’ll never lose that. We are going to be looking to you more than ever on the best ways to respond, react and RESIST the impending horrors of Project 2025-? Meanwhile, know that you have our unwavering support and we are eager to hear your thoughts when you’re ready. Peace and love.
Now that the election is over, can we express our feelings about U.S. weapons sent to Israel? I'm sorry Harris lost because Trump will be much worse. Harris was the better candidate and I voted for her. The Democrats need to change the name of the party to the Democratic Labor Party and be that.
Go to Open Secreta and see who funded the Harris Campaign. Top donor a few weeks ago was defense contractor, Raytheon. They make the 2000 # bombs being dropped on innocent children as we speak. The bombs destroying UNESCO sites and the "Paris of the Middle East", Beirut.
The prosecutor never said she would follow American and International laws , that's not much to ask for.
You can express your feelings about Israel if you want to keep losing elections. Michael tried this...no one cares except for you Michael you and a few hundred thousand in big cities. The rest of the Americans are worried about real issues that affect them. They don't have time to shit on another minority (Jews/Israelis) when they have 100 other issues affecting them at home. Marginalizing another marginalized group doesn't make you better, and it certainly doesn't win elections.
Ed, I do care about children getting killed. But you know who really doesn't care? The one group that can stop it: Hamas. Children are getting killed because Hamas stole humans while committing one of the worst war crimes--the rape, murder, torture and hostage taking of civilians. Israel has no choice but to use military means to neutralize the threat and find it's citizens. This can and would end today the minute Hamas wants to release the hostages. But it doesn't care. Getting the residents of Gaza killed is part of Hamas's strategy, while to the rest of the world, including Israel, it is a tragedy.
Unfortunately your theory about a reluctant child killing IDF falls apart when we see their identical tactics in Lebanon. Israel are behaving like barbarians. They, and their dwindling band of supporters, have lost all credibility.
Trump is going to end the Ukraine war and the people that voted for trump are *more* against forever wars than democrats. I think they are *more* against helping the Gaza war also. I'm a former democrat that went door to door for Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren but I now support RFK and Trump.
The people who voted for T *might* be more against helping the Gaza war than Democrats, but I don’ think T is against it at all. He is perfectly happy with genocide for all those dark-skinned people, and the complete takeover of Gaza by Israel. Then his son-in-law can build a wonderful resort on the shores of the Mediterranean to which anyone can come as long as they don’t mind vacationing on a mass grave.
I’m sooo glad to hear from you and that you’re ok!
First and foremost! Can someone please remind the DEMOCRATS to stop being such wimps and FIGHT! Jack Smith should absolutely NOT shut down his case! Force Trump to fire him and end a case against himself!!! Remind voters that THIS IS WRONG!
The lawfare against trump is partially why dems lost (I used to be a dem). The lawfare used state courts because state courts have few restrictions. If they tried to use federal courts it would have gone nowhere.
Holding the creep to account via Law was the last resort when Republicans refused to convict in Impeachment.
McConnell excused himself and the GOP from their duty, while acknowledging Trump's culpability in the failed coup aka Jan 6. He himself suggested recourse via the rule of law.
Now the same arseholes call it "lawfare", while Trump promises to arrest political "enemies".
Nice to hear from you. This was simply devastating. I've quoted you over and over: "Vote as if...it's not all about you." I'm deeply disappointed that that didn't happen. I'm struggling to make sense of all this.
I thought I'd share a shtick of mine. A number of Christians I know, whom I have always considered decent people, have professed to me with an off-putting air of humility that they are imperfect. Like this makes them special. For this reason, they say, they are comfortable voting for an "imperfect" man. I couldn't figure out at first why I felt deeply misunderstood and gas-lit. I think it's because it hints at a weird implication about my character: that I, in my unwillingness to vote for a pussy-grabbing, government-defrauding, cruel and empathy-devoid narcissist, must surely think that I'm perfect. Which makes them better than me, because they're in touch with their humanity. It's seriously messed up. I'll add that I'm also not running to be the most powerful human being on the planet, something that I believe should come with a higher standard.
America has a lot more to worry about than p-grabbing. Namely globalists trying to control the world with shipping manufacturing jobs overseas from America, too big to fail banks, forever wars, laws that favor the rich at the expense of the poor, huge amounts of yearly and absolute national debt, toxic food, toxic environment etc. And the word "globalists" has nothing to do with jewish people and more to do with western oligarchs, elites, politicians, heads of companies, CIA, Homeland Security, military industrial complex etc.
I'm not conned when he appoints people to the FBI, CIA or DNI that against the "deep state". Read my comment in Michael Moore's newest article. I'm posting it here also: Michael Moore,
Trump saying "he wants generals like Hitler's generals" is most likely fake since the only person who heard it was former chief of staff Gen. John Kelly and from anonymous sources written in an article by a (potentially) CIA controlled journalist. John Kelly is most likely part of the deep state "enemy within" that Trump wants to get rid of. The deep state is not simply politicians opposed to Trump. The deep state are thousands of people in government, military, politicians, banking and corporations that have an enormous amount of power over America to *their* personal benefit but at the expense of average every day Americans. I suggest people search for themselves and find out what the deep state is. You can start with people like Matthew Ehret on youtube or Mike Benz on Twitter. I do know there is an article about Mike Benz on MSNBC saying he anonymously wrote racist things. My counterpoint would be that the deep state desperately wants to downplay Mike Benz's reputation since he is the most effective at describing the deep state and they probably lied about Mike Benz being a white supremecist. Take a look at what Mike Benz writes and decide for yourself. On the other hand, you can choose to live in an echo chamber of similar people and never learn the truth. At a minimum I would think people would want to know what the new CIA director or FBI director or Director of National Intelligence is referring to when they say the "deep state". I recommend not trying to figure that out by reading or listening to MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC or even the New York Times.
What if every comedy show in the world omitted DT from their sketches and jokes? Give the writers a break…they should get hazard pay for the years of researching the mentally abusive vitriol…They should take a mental health break for the rest of the year…Come back from their hiatus with jokes that make us laugh for a good reason. If we don’t stop talking about him now, we will go to our grave with his name branded in our brain.
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger Mr. Moore! Go spend some time with Elizabeth Warren. She's inspired me. It's great to see signs of life from you. Take time to think and let the strength we gain from adversity fuel you!
Michael- I was getting worried about you. It's good to hear from you but stay in silence and thinking as long as you want. I am grateful for all that you do and for the person that you are. I have a feeling you are trying to understand the Trump voters, not getting ready to demonize them. I look forward to reading your thoughts.
I concur. Nobody is feeling this debacle more than you, Mr. Moore. You couldn’t possibly have done anything more to stop the madness.
Thanks for popping in.
I agree!
My fellow Americans,
If you were hoping that the Democrats were going to win, you have to ask yourself—Why? They take bribes from the same corporate criminals as the Republicans.

My name is Ted Martin. I have finished writing a book about my first hand encounters with a morbidly corrupt federal judicial system. The book is titled: The Illusion of Justice and contains documented, incontrovertible proof of widespread systemic corruption in the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the United States Supreme Court, the Administrative Office of United States Courts, the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the U.S. Department of Justice.

Ted your part of the problem why they lost. Why make us suffer on here more? Let me ask you something Ted. Why would you let a convicted felon, a rapist, a fraudster be elected than a good canidate that probably would of set Netenyahu straight and tell him no?? No one can answer that question maybe because their living in their own delusions, but there will be no roses here after with Trump or any good that will come.

As for the "imaginary AIPAC" (The Israeli lobby) they spent over one hundred million dollars in the last election cycle bribing our so-called representatives to support the ongoing genocide in the middle east.
If "the only difference between the two major political parties is the rhetoric", then Trump voters should have just voted for the sane, smart, energetic candidate instead of the old, dumb, sexual predator...and save us four years of hell.
Because there IS a difference between the two PEOPLE, and that's no illusion.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but give us a moment to grieve and freak out over that blatant takeover of the US by the Fascist Maga party. Your political rhetoric isn't helping right now. We can discuss the perhaps rational side of the significance of what happened in a while. Just, please, give us minute.
Yes, both parties are rife with corruption. And only one is fascist. You have any better suggestions?
Thank you Ted. Better to know than not know.
There is a huge diff between trump and Kamala. Look at the policies they promote; well, except for Israel I guess.
Ted You might want to change this

And yet only one of those two candidates was willing to concede when she lost. One of those candidates didn’t invite Christian nationalists to their home and boost people who incite boys to yell “Your body, my choice” at middle school girls. One of them didn’t choose a running mate who believes women should not have a way to get out of abusive marriages. I could go on. Look at what he’s incited on social media alone. His victory has emboldened the worst impulses this country has to serve up. You think Trump will help the Palestinians?? He said Biden was being too tough on Netanyahu.
It's been a state of depression for me all week. I'm so sad that the American people (including my own relatives) are okay with a man who has raped women, is destroying the rule of law, and is downright cruel. I am disgusted by the depravity of it. Right now, I'm in a state of mind that I don't want to fight for a people who would do this. I just want to leave. The problem is that right-wing fascism is gaining all over the world. I realize that I'm still in shock and thinking emotionally, so I don't trust my own thoughts right now, but damn, this just sucks.
I just cycle through depressing sadness, raging anger, abject fear, and. total numbness
I feel exactly the same.
I agree, here in France the far-right keeps on progressing, too. And all over Europe. This dark wave is scary -- and depressing.
I'm with you. Hang in there :)
It's hard to accept that voting for kindness, decency, and human-rights put me in the minority.
Just 1 mere percentage point less. We need your good kind humanity still. I know it is rough. I agree.
Michael I've honestly been so worried about you. I'm so glad to receive the email notification of your post. We need each other now more than ever. Thank you for being here with us.
I had been in a depressed state until Friday at the gym. I asked a Trump voting mother of a special education student if she was planning to quit her job and homeschool after the Dept. of Education was gone and when trump planned to end it. I felt a flicker of joy when she got a look of terror and the reality of what she voted for sunk in. I'm sorry for her child, not sorry for her. Hoping to spread seeds of buyer's remorse to all the MAGAts. I am just a little sadistic rabble rouser.
I’m with you….the Trump voters did not bargain for what’s going to happen…all they cared about was the economy ……
Or what they were *told* was a bad economy. It really was doing great, and that was kept secret as much as possible.
You're not sadistic at all. You had insight, and she was myopic. Perhaps your flicker of joy came because you realized she was finally able to see the reality sinking in. You don't have to feel sorry for her. She'll live. She may be a little wiser now, too.
typical of many fear mongering stuff,
if it actually passes - which it may never - Trump said he would give the money to the states. There is lots wrong with a singular, one fits all dept of education, among them teaching kids only to learn standardized tests rather than being creative and think for themselves. Lack of creative people that can think is what this country is lacking.
Thank you for your monetary contribution, troll.

Trump voters knew exactly what they were voting against. In their echo chambers, they were led to believe that rising living costs were Biden’s fault. They were frustrated with “wokeness” and transgender rights, and convinced that the Biden-Harris administration had allowed waves of immigrants in to vote for the Democrats—many of whom, they believed, were criminals and rapists. When shown what both parties offered, the public largely chose the Democrats. But it’s important to remember that fear and hatred remain some of the most powerful forces driving human emotion.
I was waiting to hear from you! Stay with us. We will learn from this
Don’t give up!!!!! It’s always darkest before dawn
It's just dawned on me how dark it is.

This is going to be a at 4 years 😢😢😢
Michael…we were so sure 😢😢😢😢
Thank you for letting us know you are alive. Was getting increasingly worried, as you know from my email to you. Take care. We await. ~ Sally from Oakland
Mike, As the results poured in and my heart broke for my neighbors, family, fellow citizens and yes, myself, I found myself sending you the deepest gratitude for always being someone who speaks the truth while maintaining hope. I know you’ll never lose that. We are going to be looking to you more than ever on the best ways to respond, react and RESIST the impending horrors of Project 2025-? Meanwhile, know that you have our unwavering support and we are eager to hear your thoughts when you’re ready. Peace and love.
Now that the election is over, can we express our feelings about U.S. weapons sent to Israel? I'm sorry Harris lost because Trump will be much worse. Harris was the better candidate and I voted for her. The Democrats need to change the name of the party to the Democratic Labor Party and be that.
Go to Open Secreta and see who funded the Harris Campaign. Top donor a few weeks ago was defense contractor, Raytheon. They make the 2000 # bombs being dropped on innocent children as we speak. The bombs destroying UNESCO sites and the "Paris of the Middle East", Beirut.
The prosecutor never said she would follow American and International laws , that's not much to ask for.
You can express your feelings about Israel if you want to keep losing elections. Michael tried this...no one cares except for you Michael you and a few hundred thousand in big cities. The rest of the Americans are worried about real issues that affect them. They don't have time to shit on another minority (Jews/Israelis) when they have 100 other issues affecting them at home. Marginalizing another marginalized group doesn't make you better, and it certainly doesn't win elections.
Clearly you don’t see the children killed by Netanyahus extreme rw govt. the rest of the world watches. Mentioning it is “shitting on a minority”.
Sad.
Ed, I do care about children getting killed. But you know who really doesn't care? The one group that can stop it: Hamas. Children are getting killed because Hamas stole humans while committing one of the worst war crimes--the rape, murder, torture and hostage taking of civilians. Israel has no choice but to use military means to neutralize the threat and find it's citizens. This can and would end today the minute Hamas wants to release the hostages. But it doesn't care. Getting the residents of Gaza killed is part of Hamas's strategy, while to the rest of the world, including Israel, it is a tragedy.
Unfortunately your theory about a reluctant child killing IDF falls apart when we see their identical tactics in Lebanon. Israel are behaving like barbarians. They, and their dwindling band of supporters, have lost all credibility.
Then you go ahead and shit on minorities with Trump. The rest of us care about everyone, including you.
Trump is going to end the Ukraine war and the people that voted for trump are *more* against forever wars than democrats. I think they are *more* against helping the Gaza war also. I'm a former democrat that went door to door for Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren but I now support RFK and Trump.
The people who voted for T *might* be more against helping the Gaza war than Democrats, but I don’ think T is against it at all. He is perfectly happy with genocide for all those dark-skinned people, and the complete takeover of Gaza by Israel. Then his son-in-law can build a wonderful resort on the shores of the Mediterranean to which anyone can come as long as they don’t mind vacationing on a mass grave.
I think you've been conned.
I can tell.
You can *always* express your feelings about U.S. weapons sent to Israel.
I’m sooo glad to hear from you and that you’re ok!
First and foremost! Can someone please remind the DEMOCRATS to stop being such wimps and FIGHT! Jack Smith should absolutely NOT shut down his case! Force Trump to fire him and end a case against himself!!! Remind voters that THIS IS WRONG!
He will release a report meantime. Waiting to be fired is dumb.
The lawfare against trump is partially why dems lost (I used to be a dem). The lawfare used state courts because state courts have few restrictions. If they tried to use federal courts it would have gone nowhere.
Holding the creep to account via Law was the last resort when Republicans refused to convict in Impeachment.
McConnell excused himself and the GOP from their duty, while acknowledging Trump's culpability in the failed coup aka Jan 6. He himself suggested recourse via the rule of law.
Now the same arseholes call it "lawfare", while Trump promises to arrest political "enemies".
It would be hilarious if it weren't so depraved.
I've been waiting to hear from you, too....
We need to hear your thoughts, your wise words...BUT...this music is PERFECT for now. Perfect!
Thank you!
Hello Michael,
Nice to hear from you. This was simply devastating. I've quoted you over and over: "Vote as if...it's not all about you." I'm deeply disappointed that that didn't happen. I'm struggling to make sense of all this.
I thought I'd share a shtick of mine. A number of Christians I know, whom I have always considered decent people, have professed to me with an off-putting air of humility that they are imperfect. Like this makes them special. For this reason, they say, they are comfortable voting for an "imperfect" man. I couldn't figure out at first why I felt deeply misunderstood and gas-lit. I think it's because it hints at a weird implication about my character: that I, in my unwillingness to vote for a pussy-grabbing, government-defrauding, cruel and empathy-devoid narcissist, must surely think that I'm perfect. Which makes them better than me, because they're in touch with their humanity. It's seriously messed up. I'll add that I'm also not running to be the most powerful human being on the planet, something that I believe should come with a higher standard.
America has a lot more to worry about than p-grabbing. Namely globalists trying to control the world with shipping manufacturing jobs overseas from America, too big to fail banks, forever wars, laws that favor the rich at the expense of the poor, huge amounts of yearly and absolute national debt, toxic food, toxic environment etc. And the word "globalists" has nothing to do with jewish people and more to do with western oligarchs, elites, politicians, heads of companies, CIA, Homeland Security, military industrial complex etc.
Now you're right, but not for the reasons you think you're right.
ok, what do you mean?
If you think Trump cares about you and will make those things better, you're in for a rude awakening. I hate to say it, but you've been conned.
I'm not conned when he appoints people to the FBI, CIA or DNI that against the "deep state". Read my comment in Michael Moore's newest article. I'm posting it here also: Michael Moore,
Trump saying "he wants generals like Hitler's generals" is most likely fake since the only person who heard it was former chief of staff Gen. John Kelly and from anonymous sources written in an article by a (potentially) CIA controlled journalist. John Kelly is most likely part of the deep state "enemy within" that Trump wants to get rid of. The deep state is not simply politicians opposed to Trump. The deep state are thousands of people in government, military, politicians, banking and corporations that have an enormous amount of power over America to *their* personal benefit but at the expense of average every day Americans. I suggest people search for themselves and find out what the deep state is. You can start with people like Matthew Ehret on youtube or Mike Benz on Twitter. I do know there is an article about Mike Benz on MSNBC saying he anonymously wrote racist things. My counterpoint would be that the deep state desperately wants to downplay Mike Benz's reputation since he is the most effective at describing the deep state and they probably lied about Mike Benz being a white supremecist. Take a look at what Mike Benz writes and decide for yourself. On the other hand, you can choose to live in an echo chamber of similar people and never learn the truth. At a minimum I would think people would want to know what the new CIA director or FBI director or Director of National Intelligence is referring to when they say the "deep state". I recommend not trying to figure that out by reading or listening to MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC or even the New York Times.
You're pretty far gone.
Jeff if you think Trump really cares about any of this you’re sadly mistaken. He made that clear during his first ridiculous term.
hmm, Tim West just said a similar thing in his comment above,
What if every comedy show in the world omitted DT from their sketches and jokes? Give the writers a break…they should get hazard pay for the years of researching the mentally abusive vitriol…They should take a mental health break for the rest of the year…Come back from their hiatus with jokes that make us laugh for a good reason. If we don’t stop talking about him now, we will go to our grave with his name branded in our brain.
Mike, I and many others have been waiting to hear from you. We need your voice now more than ever.
What doesn't kill us only makes us stronger Mr. Moore! Go spend some time with Elizabeth Warren. She's inspired me. It's great to see signs of life from you. Take time to think and let the strength we gain from adversity fuel you!
