From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
The Repug(nants) are salivating to "run the Govt". Liberals are saying "now let's see them run the Govt". Pull your heads out people, they have been running the Govt, horribly, for 35 years. President is an executive position, the Repug(nants) have dominated econimic policy and paid the SCOTUS to fabricate laws for 35 years. Also, the Repug(nants) have dominated state govt, which is FAR larger than the feds. Violent overthrow is NOT a viable option, but I think we may well end up trying it. I participated in a 5,000 person anti-war march on the courthouse in Houston, that received absolutely ZERO media coverage. Nobody knows that we marched and peacably occupied the town square for 24 hours. I wasn't surprised, the media is own by war corporations, but many young folks in the crowd were calling for violence, so they could no longer ignore us.
Trump played the entire nation. Unlike the buffoon borax salesman whose campaign he copied, Trump is a SUPERB character actor. He PLAYED buffoon, but he's no buffoon. Fooling his base was easy, but more important, he completely fooled Democratic voters that he was impossible to elect. I smelled a rat when Trump and the trumpettes all admitted they'd lost on the day before voting. His character would never do that. Trump singlehandedly convinced 135 million Democratic voters to stay home. I'll leave with one memory. When Trump started, he said that it was ridiculous that the USA didn't have single payer health care and that war that accomplished nothing was idiotic. The reaction from the Repug leadership was so strong that Trump never mentioned either again. I remember because I seriously considered changing from Bernie to Trump, except he put on his brown shirt within a week.
