Don’t stress. This Gaza plan will never happen. Trump is too stupid to know how stupid he is. He must be impeached, removed from office and returned to NYC to be resentenced to prison on the 34 felony convictions.
My deceased husband also was in Vietnam in 1970. Although he suffered from dementia, he knew how awful Trump was in his first go round. He died 2 and a half years ago. In his military funeral, my grandson said “good thing Trump’s not President, or she would have thrown the flag back at the Major!”
Thank you for posting your comment Christina. My sincere condolences for the loss of your brave husband. Vietnam vets are now at the foothills of old age and do not fear death.
Niece of a brave man who fought in WWI and was gassed and of others who landed at Normandy in WWII and others who served in all branches of the military post-war. Cousin of a Vietnam Vet. Daughter-in-law of one who served during the Korean War. Daughter of a man who lied about his age to join the Navy at 17 in 1944 to fight fascism. I am with you in the Resistance.
Daughter of Holocaust Victims but dad ended up serving in the US Army in the Pacific Theater. My maternal grandparents were gassed at Chelmno in 1942. Others were shot in oil fields or burned. Resistance is strong on my end too!
As a veteran who actually honors my oath to preserve and defend the Constitution and this great country, I'll be right there with you. (That is, unless some pissed off person out there shows him the business end of one of those automatic weapons he says everyone has a right to own.)
Thank-you again for your service. I am wondering how active and inactive veterans feel about this destruction of our Constitution and Trump's attempt to destroy the nation?
Hearing Ron Johnson on PBS News Hour last night, I am giving up hope that anything Trump does will be too far for the current GOP. But surely he has more than earned a third impeachment already. And Musk has earned a jail term.
We keep hearing all about the "traditional Republicans" in the Senate who might resist Trump. Sorry, there is no such thing as a "traditional" Republican anymore. Men like Johnson, Cassidy, Cotton, Cruz , Hawley, Graham, et al are all in and will ride MAGA until the end. Unfortunately, "the end" will get us all.
I totally agree with you. The president and vice president must be removed from office. The impeachment process needs to be initiated immediately. We must not ever surrender in advance.
All these instances of the word “must” from people who have no power to enforce anything! MUST be impeached? MUST be sentenced to prison? None of that will ever happen because the GOP will never allow any of it to happen.
This is just disgraceful. He’s using people who have had thier homes and lives destroyed as a bargaining chip to own a piece of land he and his cronies want to develop and profit off of. How much more degraded can a person be?
And Musk and his 20 something’s who don’t know squat are cutting off aid to the sick, hungry and destitute who depended on the US to help them. They should be ashamed of themselves. Our country has always been about helping the less fortunate in the world and these folks are abdicating that responsibility just because they can. What a heartless and cruel bunch of people. But remember, karma is a bitch. Someday they’ll find out. I always tell my kids this - kindness, a hug, an assist to an older person doesn’t cost a thing. These people need to learn this. It will make the world a richer place than all the money
Trump is using the White House to increase his financial holdings for all time to come, and is a dictator not just on the first day, but from the first day.
I don’t mean to be dense, but when I heard that Netanyahu was coming here my first thought was that he could be arrested here? How does that work? And, yet again, we are treated to our commander in chief speaking as though he is omnipotent: rake the forest floors, turn on the water, inject Lysol to kill Covid, flatten the rest of Gaza because who would want to live there… Gee, maybe the people who feel strongly that it is their homeland, not a piece of real estate an overweight felon wants to develop. The nightmare just goes on and on.
Thank you, Lucian, for watching The Criminal stand next to his Criminal brother while he told another big fat lie. How you can watch him and listen to him spew such crap…well you deserve a medal. Tonight, Lawrence O’Donnell had Hakeem Jeffries on and the question was what is being done by Dems. Jeffries sent an email to every House member that they were to go back home and hold town hall meetings with their constituents today or within the week. His staff was going to monitor each of them to make certain they are all talking to the American people who are worried. This is a really strategy to use on our reps who have gotten a little too comfortable. Schumer should take notes from Hakeem or step aside. I’d like to see a woman in that role such as Jasmine Crockett who today, along with Maxwell Frost, showed up to oppose DOGE, Trump, and his pastey-white boyfriend, Elon. She is so powerful! Time to protest. Time to write or call your senators and congresspeople. Let’s get this show on the road, people!
I so wish you were wrong, but you're not. It reminded me of the Sudetenland debacle in 1938 where Chamberlain was proving his integrity and backbone were nonexistent. Now, we have our own version, only Chamberlain was sane, just cowardly. Part of me says this is just another ploy to allow the Muskrat to run amuck, as the sane people in the minority party and their allies try to untangle this obscene mess. To go from being a country that protects the least among us to a country that will be compared to Germany 1933 is horrific and despicable. We have to stop it. This is not who we are, is it?
Certainly not who we are! Let’s make note this but do not let it distract us from confronting the immediate threats of Musk and his band of accomplices.
We are so fucked. So many American troops will die, we won’t let USAID, UN. Red Cross, or international humanitarian organizations or NGOs in, and we will be opening our country to terrorists attacks because Orange Hitler is gutting the FBI, even as we commit war crimes a crimes against humanity. Shit.
I am too tired to write about this myself tonight but I will tomorrow. We thought Iraq and Afghanistan were bad, Netanyahu is laughing all the way to the bank because we will be doing his dirty work. Damn them all.
I liked the description of El Salvadoran prison's better, because Rubio has discussed having both immigrants and US citizens shipped there even though that would be illegal. Let Trump and Musk experience what they want to wish on us.
Trying to stay calm, breathe, & hold on to an admittedly slow, but inevitable uprising of the American population that I joined when I landed here in 1966. We’re still out here! This will not endure!
If this country were France, there would already be revolts in the streets, barricades, business shut down, farmers blocking roadways, students piling chairs outside of university buildings, workers not showing up at work -- but no, the USA is a nation of sheep waiting to be shorn.
Even in the context of other batshit things Trump has said and done, this is totally insane.
I wonder if this is just chaff that he is putting out to distract from the ongoing Project 2025 destruction of federal agencies and the tariff fiascos. If it gets traction he lets it play out. If it doesn't its just a shiny distraction while he and Musk explode the government. Consider also his previous failed grandiose promises: build that wall with Mexico, solve inflation and the Russian war on Ukraine on Day 1, repeal and replace ACA, put out an infrastructure bill. All vaporware.
I think it is. just that. No one at the press conference asked about any of the shit going on with DOGE and the Kids! Shiny object over here is Gaza this time!
are you any relation to the late Herb Savit from New Haven?
These tactics worked brilliantly for Trump Inc so why not lead the US into financial and moral bankruptcy with them as he did with his real estate catasrophes,
I don't know him, but we're probably distant relatives. Many with similar names came to the US a century ago from the same small towns in Eastern Europe.
I needed to see this. Something similar was a commentary in NC Newsline as well but Ezra made a more solid case as in, why isn’t trump using the legislative process when he has all the cards so to speak. Thanks for the link.
Snollygoster! That sent me tabbing to Merriam-Webster and Collins. "Unprincipled," to be sure, but "shrewd?" Merriam-Webster says of shrewd, "marked by clever discerning awareness and hardheaded acumen." Perhaps I'm just a sourpuss, but I haven't seen much that I'd call "awareness," certainly not of the "clever discerning" variety. As for "hardheaded acumen," I believe any proof of that is the price online of original Trump Entertainment Resorts stock certiificates.
Trump’s little plan for Gaza is going to unleash such a new wave of terrorism that we have not seen before - when you back a people into a corner, they will lash out with any means available, and it will hit us at home, right here in the good ol’ US of A. At the same time that he and President Musk are cutting the FBI and CIA to the bone. HE is our biggest national security threat.
Don’t stress. This Gaza plan will never happen. Trump is too stupid to know how stupid he is. He must be impeached, removed from office and returned to NYC to be resentenced to prison on the 34 felony convictions.
…..and yes, as a still pissed off 80 year old Vietnam War draftee, I am willing to join any resistance movement to overthrow Trump.
MY hubs, also a Vietnam Vet, has expressed the same thing.
Welcome home hubs.
My deceased husband also was in Vietnam in 1970. Although he suffered from dementia, he knew how awful Trump was in his first go round. He died 2 and a half years ago. In his military funeral, my grandson said “good thing Trump’s not President, or she would have thrown the flag back at the Major!”

Me too, as a 78 year old pissed off retired teacher, elected official and small business owner.
Thank-you again for your service. I am wondering how active and inactive veterans feel about this destruction of our Constitution and Trump's attempt to destroy the nation?
That’s what Lawrence O’Donnell said too. 😁
Lawrence was steaming mad tonight. Stupid was the word of the day.
Lawrence has been calling him the Stupidest for a long time!

And then if that were to happen (fat chance) we would be blessed? With a president named Vance…
He'd get impeached by day 7!
That IS the problem.
Yikes! Out of the frying pan......
I totally agree with you. The president and vice president must be removed from office. The impeachment process needs to be initiated immediately. We must not ever surrender in advance.
All these instances of the word “must” from people who have no power to enforce anything! MUST be impeached? MUST be sentenced to prison? None of that will ever happen because the GOP will never allow any of it to happen.
And that makes me so angry I could scream 24/7
Well, how are we gonna impeach him while he has a MAGA majority in both the House and the Senate???
Until such time as your left wrist is ready for action, I’d suggest typing these columns with your right middle finger.
That’s the most used finger on each hand 🖕
Ahh, the old English bowmen’s salute!
This is just disgraceful. He’s using people who have had thier homes and lives destroyed as a bargaining chip to own a piece of land he and his cronies want to develop and profit off of. How much more degraded can a person be?

Should be arrested, Karen! But he has his goons and The Criminal has his too, surrounding them both. Someone’s going to slip up one day…
Maybe if N came to California?
The U.S. is one of the few places Ya-who is safe from arrest. Like Israel, this nation isn't an ICC member. Reasons shouldn't need explanation.
Wow!

Well Shumer is doing a heckuvajob in the Chamberlain role.

Impeach the bastard.
Impeach and Imprison Trump! Deport Musk! How about to prison in El Salvador.
Gitmo
I liked the description of El Salvadoran prison's better, because Rubio has discussed having both immigrants and US citizens shipped there even though that would be illegal. Let Trump and Musk experience what they want to wish on us.
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/what-to-know-about-the-el-salvadorian-mega-prison-trump-has-promised-to-send-u-s-prisoners
That story was chilling. I'm afraid of who Trump might send there, or to Guantanamo.
Yes. About Gitmo, while it is a 30,000 bed facility that is not necessarily going to limit how many they send there Heather Cox Richardson points out.

Beachside Resort with a chance of terrorism? What a plan! From the asshat who bankrupted every endeavor until becoming prez.
Yes! Who is going to invest in ‘beachfront properties’ in Gaza?
Trying to stay calm, breathe, & hold on to an admittedly slow, but inevitable uprising of the American population that I joined when I landed here in 1966. We’re still out here! This will not endure!
If this country were France, there would already be revolts in the streets, barricades, business shut down, farmers blocking roadways, students piling chairs outside of university buildings, workers not showing up at work -- but no, the USA is a nation of sheep waiting to be shorn.
Resistance is the only option if you don't want to be loaded on to box cars.
I think a national strike would be in order!
Jamice. It would have to be huge.
Currently Trumps control of the military and his pardoned brown shirts would be activated with orders to shoot.
"Never give up! Never surrender!"
It's kinda sad when a movie has to supply us with talking points.
Even in the context of other batshit things Trump has said and done, this is totally insane.

Yup, it’s all hot air blowing out of his ass.
That’s my question too

I agree with you on Trump's tactics.
Someone grab a butterfly net.
Size large. Please.
If the net is for T***p, I think you're being an optimist even at XL.
We need more than one.
I think an elephant net is what you mean. :)

I very rarely agree with Ezra but this was good. Most times, I can’t stomach him.
Thank u for posting this
I can attest to the fact that it's impossible to even think cogently in the midst of the flooding. Bannon is an evil genius.
Classless, ignorant, tasteless, snolly-goster in over his head. He is already buried in law suits, but unaware of what is awaiting him.
Snollygoster! That sent me tabbing to Merriam-Webster and Collins. "Unprincipled," to be sure, but "shrewd?" Merriam-Webster says of shrewd, "marked by clever discerning awareness and hardheaded acumen."
