Terrific piece, Greg. I’m jealous. I know this list could be even longer, but Unless I read too fast, I think Chris Christie, Rick Santorum, and a few more Republican Senators running for re-election should have made the cut.

Oh, I missed so many people. Falwell, Zucker, Meadows. I could easily do a 500.

Do another 101 list with all names suggested by your subscribers.

Hmm. Maybe I'll post the original list to Google Sheets and update it from time to time...

I realized after I posted that you’d have to write all the thumbnails. Didn’t mean to crest more work for ya. ;)

Another great read.

If it all wasn’t so true & frightening I may have laughed at some of your characterizations of some.

Thank you.

Can we get a set of playing cards to go with this? I’d love to throw them in my bonfire and watch their faces.... well, you know

Then we'd have to only have 52...

Reading your list makes me both scream and cry, but as I have said for many years: "No one hates democracy like the super-rich, and their minions."

brilliant. i’d add Jeff & GizLane to the HM list. so many crimers. i savored the names, and there are a couple i’ve never heard of. i await your unrolling if the #RubioReport. so pathetic that both my state senators (Dumb & Dumber = Scott & Rubio) made the list of 101.

I thought about them, but the Epstein thing is a whole other issue, and being Trump collaborators is way down on their list of offences.

Brian Kemp was Georgia's Secretary of State. This list is too good to get dented a factual slip.

Amazing work, Greg. I am very depressed now and must go cry in a corner. I'll be back shortly.

Ok. I'm better now. THANK YOU for including both my governor AND my lieutenant governor (Abbott and Patrick) who seek to destroy every liberal, progressive, faintly blue thing in the state of Texas--and some red things, too, like OLD PEOPLE (I'm a blue old person myself, so I can say that). Your list can grow and grow and it will, I think, become THE List by which we keep track of all evildoers of the Trumpian Era for the purpose of holding their feet to the fires of justice. Long live our democracy. Even in its shredded state, it's better than what the Republicans are selling.

Abbott/Patrick is the worst. The. Worst.

Oh. My. God.

Seeing this constellation of crooks and kooks is revolting. Knowing it is but a tiny dot in Trump’s universe of hateful, arrogant, greedy sociopaths is almost too much to bear. Every day I ask myself how we can live in a country that accepts even 1% of the venality of these characters. Then I’m reassured by your smart, thoughtful, lucid writing and razor-sharp takedowns. The intelligent insights combined with the hilarious commentary is a one-two punch and it is cathartic. Thank you, Greg, and all of the folks following PREVAIL for making me feel less alone.

Jeff, I feel likewise. Greg & Prevail & all of my fellow subscribers feel like a sanity club I joined that's helping me keep it together in these increasingly frightening times. David Brooks's op-ed in today's NYT is a sobering peek into what we might be in for post-11/3. And this list of Greg's is a bracing shock of the depth & breadth of the treachery ReTHUGlikkkans have & will use to "win" at any cost.

Does anyone know if the piece of shit known as George Aref Nader is in prison yet? I'm guessing he's being held in jail somewhere in Virginia until his DC hearing? Maybe he's in the lovely & luxuriant Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, VA, where Manafort was kept for a while? Boy Plunder had better be careful - - he could be sharing a cell with Nader by next summer, lmfao....
