From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
—Jim Hightower, National Radio Commentator, Writer, Public Speaker, and author of the bestselling Thieves in High Places
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
—Tom Hayden, author of The Long Sixties and director, Peace and Justice Resource Center.

No he won't stand up for anyone except trump enterprises. He's in a unique position of enriching himself and his family. No blind trust and giving his children security clearance (the ones who are running his business) so they can profit to the likes we have never seen before. Talk about the ultimate insider trading. Some republicans railed against special interests and yet they decided to cut out the middleman and elected the special interest directly to the white house.
Trump is, and has always been the conman around town. He will enrich, and be one of the richest men on the earth, by time he is out of office.
He scams everyone, he belongs in a cell with Bernie Madoff. He will probably pardon him, when he leaves......lol
He will hurt and Maine, and kill, more Americans on our soil, than Bush, or Ben Ladin.
DumpTrump will be nothing more tomorrow than he was yesterday. It is impossible to make a silk purse of a sows ear. Just mules in horse harnesses. An empty shell. Zip. Nada. Even having been given this gift to be able to make a real and meaningful positive difference in this world he will remain the robber baron that he is. And as long as he can keep the veins of our treasuries open for the 1% he has as his personal PR spin doctor the COMPLICIT COMMERCIAL MEDIA CIRCUS.
And that COMMERCIAL MEDIA REPUBLICAN / TRUMP PUBLIC RELATIONS CIRCUS SMOKE SCREEN is the most dangerous threat our nation has ever faced. Every drama designed to justify and distract us from actions of the congress. We need to stay focused because it's here. I just cannot bear to watch one minute of Network News for myself but I have been told by friends, and in a panic voice, that stories are all over the news that "Oh My! Thousands and thousands of illegal Mexicans are just walking across the border in advance of his inauguration!! And nobody is even stopping them!!" My BS detector is telling me it's anotherCOMMERCIAL MEDIA RUSE! I say Trumps and his cronie, the criminal Mexican president, have orchestrated the show at Trump's request! And the wall to wall coverage by his COMMERCIAL MEDIA PR MACHINE is designed to enrage the right and inflame public sentiment to support anti immigrant policies and encourage the call to "lock them up"! So the for-profit prison system looks like the first-pick pocket tactic. At a cost of $100.00 per day, per prisoner, of tax payer money they'll have them sleeping 3 or 4 to a cot and building more and more prisons . We could feed house and send them to school for that kind of money but instead we will incarcerate them in, already deemed by the government to be unfit, for-profit prison facilities, that he and his cronies own stock in, so they can make huge personal profits. That is why despite our federal government's announcement that they would no longer use these private prissons, their stock value jumped on November 9. Brilliant. And he hasn't even been sworn in yet.
