Thank you, professor Richardson. I love listening. I have to take a pepcid after this one. What a despicable lunatic child. I will never forgive the imbeciles who installed him in our white house…again.
Wow, the sh*t storm has begun! So many people will be hurt by his actions. Prof.Snyder also showed deep concern over the J6 pardons. He recalled Hitler’s paramilitaries, who knew they wouldn’t be held accountable. It’s only day 2! Help!
I am curious if you or any writer you know of and respect has written extensively about Trump's comment yesterday about Elon's vast knowledge about computers--election computers specifically and winning by a land slide in PA. I've read about bullet ballots. The conclusion that the 2024 election was not compromised is not quite settled in my mind and yesterday's comment raised it again. I'm not convinced that Trump did win fairly.
This particular association of Musk with the PA win is, I believe, designed to sow more Trump-style chaos. The more he can shake our foundation, individually and as a democracy, the more he and his cronies can cheat, lie, and steal - just to name a few of their virtues.
Didn't. There was a podcast option, and a button that said "read in app." Like Steve, I prefer to read, but not through an app as my phone screen is too small for my 75-year-old eyes to read comfortably. The Substack chatbot was surprisingly helpful and gave me a link to the homepage. I've bookmarked it since it seems I won't get a link in the emails.
Thank you Heather for such concise reporting on such a historic day. Why would Trump want to leave the World Health Organization (WHO) so quickly? The climate accords, yes since he is sold out to the fossil fuels industry, yet why WHO? Could it be that the WHO is still seeking the cause of his bio-terrorism, the "China Flu", his COVID outbreak cabal (Trump, Navaro, O'Brien)? Could it be Trump's COVID plot that still haunts him?
I think it's rather more likely because somebody told him that the US provided one-fifth of the WHO's annual budget. It's hardly surprising since under his first administration he had began the process of formal withdrawal during the Covid pandemic (it apparently takes a full year to complete) and Biden halted the process.
I still have a problem coming to terms with his election. Not challenging the vote but how 77 million Americans could have possibly overlook this man’s needs. Recent NYT interview of 12 men who voted for Trump had a common theme….he’s a man’s man. They blows me away. Their Idea of a man’s man….are they saying someone who raped women, who work hard creating a false self image, who evicted people of color when purchased apartments buildings, who call men and women who died defending our Democracy as suckers. I stop there.
Yet, should we question? He repeatedly stated, "don't vote, I don't need you to vote, we have all the votes we need". I moved from mid Florida region to NWFL in 2023. I voted early, yet for both the primary and Nov election- I went in line and there was a statement of my NOT voting. I am not alone in the discovery that their vote did not get counted.
Why stop? His choice of tenor (Christopher Macchio) was one of the most hilarious parts of the day. He reminded me of Leslie Nielsen singing the national anthem in one of the 'Naked Gun' movies.
We have two strengths …. education and vote. The consequences.are too great if we don’t.. I often think of citizens of other countries living under Oligarchs and their control of the ballot box. No doubt the Party of Trump ultimate dream is the same as these other countries. Have you noticed the ranking of the freest nations of the world? Believe it or not, the top are mostly Northern Europe. The one exception being the beautiful country of New e
You also have your institutions which resisted Trump last time and may yet do so again. An early example is Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court who point-blank refused to dismiss with prejudice the cases brought against Proud Boys Nicholas Ochs and Nicholas DeCarlo (which in effect means that they could still be prosecuted for the offences which they admitted to). In her judgement she said that to do so would “let stand the revisionist myth” relayed in Trump’s proclamation granting pardons to nearly all Jan. 6 defendants. She went out of her way to excoriate Trump's decision to pardon these reprobates.
Thank you for cluing me into the events of the Inaugural events of January 20th. Heather did a brilliant job of discussing these difficult to accept behaviors. We must tighten our mental health and take the one day at a time posture and see what happens as time goes by.
If someone wrote a fictional paperback with this plot to be sold at airport news stands reviewers would skewer it as unrealistic, too fantastical to be believed.
I am surrounded by people who love him. Some of these people are family, young and old. Some are friends. I don’t know where to put my disbelief. TY professor for your wisdom. I will just have to keep my own brain turned in and do what I can do. My eternal question will be … why did they not know?
The small print you noted in the crypto transactions underscores the deception and mendacity which has been Trumps stock in trade for the whole of his life. I feel helpless as against the tidal wave of insanity coming our way.

I have this same feeling, but because I have no proof it's just a conspiracy theory, although history will tell.

I feel the same way. I believe the computers were somehow hacked by Musk. Don’t know how but I really believe it to be something to think about
Paid subscriber. I prefer to read not listen. Is that possible?
Yes she sends out both a transcript and the recording. go to her substack home page and you should see both available

I have a Transcript button on the line with Like Reply Share on the left and between Share and … on the right. I opened it and it works.

This is just crazy.

Our president is insane. Too much and never enough.

I am a paid subscriber. I also would prefer to read the Substack articles, if possible.
keep it up !!!!!!
