Thank You Heather.

My day always starts with reading your post which arrives earlier due to time difference in UK. You have done Sterling work over these past months keeping us all up to date and informed.

I shall never ever understand how Trump has got away with the violence and horror he has inflicted on USA without any pushback from his own party. Are they all villains?

Do they have families and children? Can they honestly ( I use the word advisedly) say they are proud and happy with what America is becoming under Trump ? Is it money that leads them or the power of office or are they like Elon Musk drunk on the heady gas of never looking below the parapet at the little people ?

Well here is my battle cry - rise up and vote people and get rid of these nasty vicious despicable money laundering criminals, so you can fill your jails with them and get rid of the concentration camps run by thugs.

Me too Charlotte. I have my breakfast whilst watching Breakfast time TV and switch on my mobile to read Heather's post. Six days to go and I'm still very apprehensive about what the orange Hitler may do.I really feel for my American relations and friends.

Are they all villains?

Yes. But their presence in human genetics is the curse of a species that has evolved to survive the traumas of the constantly varying climate of the planet we live on.

Is there a "good" answer to all this?

REMEMBER THIS: TRUMP ONLY LIES. COMPULSORY

Thank you Heather. You are not alone in your grief or desire to take back our country. I hope you’re right about there being more people who are fully awake, engaged and fighting back today. The poll watchers are a critical piece - and heartening there are so many.

In our small town of Westport, MA the democratic town committee has grown ten times larger and far more active since 2024 elections. Indivisible South coast joins us. Just leaned they have plenty of trained poll watchers for New Bedford - a city targeted by Ice.

In our previous home (41 years in Newton MA) hundreds gather EVERY Saturday in protest and solidarity.

We must overcome and change course. And do the hard work of rebuilding community and institutional strength after that.

Thank you. Stay strong.

I am following what happens in your country from Sweden. It’s really amazing how one man like Donald J Dumb can make so many bad decisions in his life. Also glad to see that the Epstein-issue is not forgotten. Keep up the pressure, he is gonna fall sooner or later. Go to the polls and vote on November 3rd and after that you just keep going until you have straightened up your country and get rid of that Hitler-wannabe administration. Heather, you’re doing a good job!

Keep going Heather - you are one of the few writers reporting honestly to me (in UK) and many others.

Dear Heather, I’ve said this elsewhere before, but I’ll say it again here: I have great admiration for your courage and your commitment to making it clear, day after day, just how harmful this president and his administration are to the USA and the world. In just one week, we will know whether this realization has finally taken hold among the majority of the American people. Rest assured that, at the very least, you are on the right side of history! Warm regards from the Netherlands.

I am hopeful. We have reached a turning point. Evil simply cannot prevail.

Thank you again, Heather, for reminding us that Trump is our version of Hitler. You didn’t say it, but as I read your post, I was thinking who does Trump aspire to be?

At first, I thought that by his adoration of Putin, we could name the Russian villain as Trump’s inspiration. But I think Trump’s heartlessness and malfeasance moves him closer to Hitler.

I don’t remember reading that Hitler was handsy with women, but his horrible acts against Jews and desenters must have Trump drooling, “more, more.”

You also remind us that Trump “has absolutely no impulse control whatsoever.” I counter: why would he want to control any of his hateful speech? His crowds eat it up, as hungry as an addict for the next fix.

I am grateful you are not filing away the Epstein accusations as if they were irrelevant. In fact, they are so relevant that Trump and his demented followers are trying to convince us “never happened.”

You ponder “what it must be like for the women to watch the man they have accused of these terrifying assaults be elected president of the United States.”

Their revulsion is similar to ours. Among all of the criminal actions our faux president during his years in power, I pray it will be the Epstein files that finally get him cornered and convicted.

Trump’s activities with Epstein are horrible enough. But if he is not convicted and jailed for his part in the harm and degradation of women, as well as his part in Epstein’s murder, I will be unsatisfied.

Yes, get him out of the White House, but also send him directly to prison. I understand Alcatraz may not be available, but the waters surrounding it could be a fine place for dumped detritus.

Hi Elaine…all of what you said, he is his hero Hitler, with his grifter family, Nazi, fascist, Eugenics, sociopathic Regime.

We were told by Ivana that he kept Hitler’s speeches at his bedside.

He is an idiot and functions as a Russian agent. I’ve been saying for a long time, since reading Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez The Pugilist and Rachel and the City about the EPSTEIN Files deep divers many months ago and some others and now, Aaron Parnas took a deep dive.

The Epstein Class Web runs far, deep, and wide. They used trump, useful idiot, narcissistic, serial pedophile and rapist, through his casinos and towers and golf resorts around the world to launder money, sex trafficking, rape, pedophiles, extortion, Espionage to the highest places in. Governments, military, lawyers, police, and backed by the heritage Foundation and Project 2025, decades old RepubliKKKan Plan to end Democracy, along with EPSTEIN Class and wealthy Elite, “BORED of Peace” members, etc.

trump=Hitler

Here’s the piece by Aaron Parnas, since it is the most recent…

I’m also one of those who read your posts while eating breakfast and frequently forward them to my friends. I’m so glad that you’re writing this even when it’s tough to read. We definitely need a record of this insanity and criminality and you’re providing a basis for accountability for the future. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

Heather, so well prepared and presented. The Trump regime coverup is so evil. The end is coming, they know it. Some will flee to Russia initially and become fugitives. Some will try to cover their crimes. It will be long and difficult to recover from this wreckage they have wrought upon our country, it will get done and remembered in history. Thank you and Pete and everyone who supported the end of this tragedy.

Thank you Heather for your continued support, writing and voting… how you sit through any of those Felon’s events you’ve got determination and resolve lady…

Our group of three drivers yesterday took 62 seniors to their voting location yesterday.. there is a strict rule when we take them back and forth no discussion about who anyone voted for it’s their personal information just as much as their own social security number… we even made signs that we attach to the back seats for all to see, like a cab drivers requests to leave the back seat of the cab free from litter as one in the group said.. lolol

Frequently the seniors who live in these residences will ask if we will stop off at a doughnut shop or go through some drive through that they’ve not had for awhile. So as drivers we ask when we come back and pick them up if they would like to stop at a particular place. The sheer joy in the faces of people who are exercising their voices in voting who for years have done so, just to stop at a doughnut place brings delight.. so many were afraid about their mail in ballots not being counted that they’ve done for years, so many were afraid in just voting who are well into their eighties and nineties.. that some as one said “goons” would be at the locations… it’s just not the seniors that have expressed this emotion it’s fairly common in the discussions that take place and all that we’ve driven have expressed their thanks for helping them whether it be just watching their children as they go in and vote, to the financial help of saving them the expense of gas to get to drop their ballots off at locations that have moved farther away.

There’s another laminated sign that we all place in our vehicles..

“THE VOTE IS PRECIOUS, IT IS ALMOST SACRED. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL NON VIOLENT TOOL WE HAVE IN A DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY. AND WE HAVE TO USE IT.” — JOHN LEWIS

Vote early if at all possible, lines are already appearing and there is a wait, but the poll workers are doing their jobs quickly and efficiently…take your mail in ballots off to a drop box.. ask a friend if they have voted and when you go ask them if they haven’t would they like to as well when you go… be safe, healthy and hydrate it’s just the beginning..

Masked men are grabbing people off the streets. They are ICE goons who are overarmed and undertrained and unsupervised who grab people off the street and assault people and do not bother to ascertain whether they are citizens or whether they are here legally or if they are the “worst of the worst” because it was never about the worst of the worst. It is about quotas and stoking fear and they do not give a rat’s rear about consequences to families or to schools or to health care or to factories and fields and restaurants and construction sites or simple human decency. And that is just as Trump wants it.
