Sixteen things Biden, Harris & the Dems can—but would never—do in the next six weeks to stymie Trump, thwart the rise of U.S. fascism, protect the American people, and safeguard global democracy
That’s 100% correct. And it’s beyond frustrating. Biden/Harris had to have considered these options. Are they afraid of retaliation (like so many we’ve seen “kissing the ring” the past few weeks)?
Biden’s job is still active and it’s to protect the American People!
There’s Also Likely Russian Interference: Bombs, Bots, & Dollars
# Reputed Scandals With Voting Machines In Some States
What Else?
Elon buying votes
.
We now KNOW tRump plans to follow plan/project 2025
He speaks about destroying the fabric of the nation
.
Biden has the burden of history upon him: will he make a deplorable path of peace for our time or pursue a more rugged course, akin to Lincoln?
He has the tool he needs:
Some Rough Ideas.
Immunity. To act in order to save the republic, the results of the current Presidential Elect are in abeyance.
Executive orders:
-Order that felons may not stand for the Presidency. Enforce the 14th.
-The Supreme Court Will Be Reconstituted
-Call for new election in 6 months. Whereafter the Nonsense of Presidential Immunity Is Nullified.
Nullification to become Amendment # by Power of Disappearing Fiat
Biden should also:
-Kick the butts of DA’s that have let slide any breaches by DJT, & bring him up on charges wherever necessary, while arresting & jailing whenever possible.
-Get engaged in unclogging the Georgia Trial. New prosecutor.
& …Why should the citizens sacrifice the Republic (more on his plans) to a burgeoning fascist dictator when we NOW have the high ground? We have the armed forces. The national guard.
& either we also already know where the likely leaders of rebellion might be or we have no on-the-ground-intelligence? If there is going to be real trouble, yes it may be true that the MAGAs are more weaponized than liberals. But the liberals, meaning Biden, have the armed forces.
WE Have To Stop This Travesty
Otherwise, it’s King tRump. Millions of deaths.
Trouble worldwide. Cascading deeper into climate catastrophe. Dystopia, not dat topia.
& when he’s gone? What capers will there be? Elon vs Vance. Will there be a Senate? A House of Representatives? Bodies to lead a totalitarian nation back to the constitution & Democracy, explicitly without immunity. Radioactive Caligula limping into the frame.
I keep hoping he understands this. How can he not, right? But if he does, what is he waiting for? And what's the plan? Because it sure looks like abject surrender. And Joe and Kamala both are the fighting wing of the Dem Party. Chuck Schumer? Heaven help us.
Thanks for this great comment, Autumn, and for subscribing!
Thanks Greg for yours AND my sentiments! The old coot is a failed protector of our country. It’s absolutely infuriating X’s a ‘billion’ that he sticks like alien glue (and yeah, there is such a product..) to foolish, archaic fucking “TRADITIONS.” Be a FOR REAL “RADICAL LEFTIST” Joey—or you’ll be remembered as I’ve described you…
Thanks, Laura. If he really does go down without even the semblance of a fight, I truly do not understand. Is it ego? Pique, because of how Obama and the other Dems pushed him out? I don't get it.
It’s rather pathetic, this old man! He could DO so much for our democracy before he fades away i.e. remand trump, protect the J6 Committee members, pardon them before donny gets his greasy little hands on them, AND—send more weaponry and troops over to Ukraine! With a coalition of NATO forces in Europe and with our military—we’d massacre Putin’s little Botoxed, melon head and his no arse to think of! It IS truly madness with this fading into the grave ‘president’!. I write frequently to him on various and sundry topics, yet too lengthy to list here—no replies. It’s the pinnacle of ANGER with this fellow…
The extent to which the FBI/CI f’ery, Mafia, Russian Mafia and $billionaire bros hold over Trump will dictate that all the America-Demolition steps as outlined in P2025 WILL HAPPEN!
Agreed, Jim. Our best hope is that the factions waste all their energy fighting each other instead of working together. They don't ALL want the same thing. As for Joe, I will never understand.
What I think about Joe is that he’s more into compromise and norms than he is about implementing a Democracy rescue. He’s never really gone Dark Biden.
Biden has too much family and other baggage that has been preventing him from taking the decisive actions Greg Olear has outlined to STOP TRUMP from implementing P2025, the destruction of American democracy.
Clearly Joe’s not up to it but Kamala is!
Resign Joe! Make Kamala BOSS for the last month. Kamala could lead in with daily fireside chats, disclosing the FBI and Intelligence facts exposing Trump’s persistent criminality and vulnerabilities.
While the chats are taking place, domestic cops: FBI and State Police would be arresting jailing SCOTUS, Congress, and Militia criminals (outlined by Greg) pending trials.
Give the reins to Kamala to save Democracy and International Order.
No transition until Trump is exonerated or it’s legally decided he’s not eligible to be President.
If only you were the President or the VP, Greg…….Garland, Biden and Schumer and all the rest of these “institutionalists” watched January 6, which followed the 4 years of American carnage of Trump’s first “reign” and said—-hey, let’s go back to 1973 when Biden entered the Senate, or maybe 1953(the year I was born)when Eisenhower was inaugurated……..They all 3 and many more absolutely ignored the “clear and present danger” we all witnessed with our own eyes. I am not letting the despicable R party off the hook of course. McConnell could have neutered Trump with one word to his Senators—-convict.
Failure and/or treason all the way around. I would do all 16 things if I had the chance. Maybe then we would have a fighting chance to survive as a republic—-“if you can keep it.” You are brilliant and wise, a great combination. We have not met the moment in the country, which may be the understatement of the century, or maybe of the last 248 years. Thank you for your clear view of where we are.
Thanks, Rick. I have not checked the news...is McConnell still with us? One of my tenets for living is: Live your life in such a way that millions of people don't cheer when you die.
If they do the amnesty vote, that would give them one last chance to get rid of Trump. They would start with Vance in there, from the gate, and get to do their thing, but without a Kremlin mobster. There's no down side to it, other than maybe he'd release whatever dirt he has on Lindsey...
This punch list (and any several if not all) is very doable and perfectly reasonable. I always gave Joe the benefit of the doubt, always believed his heart was in the right place……..By exercising his new powers as quasi-king (thank you SCrOTUS) he could do it all and walk away unscathed AND poke the court in the eye with it all. FEAR of the Orange Bullock is driving all the appeasement we’re seeing, the hope that if they fondle tRump he will show favor, even though his entire life he has shown his erratic and belligerent tendencies are fascistic. It was an insult (the final one) when Joe gave a post election speech and had the audacity to say “it’ll be alright” and then treat tRump like a normal person in the oval room when Joe should have dressed him down in front of the world. Joe was nice to a fascist after saying that electing him is a threat to democracy, that’s some confused thinking Joe. The, our, Democratic Party needs to get their priorities straight and find some young hard charging leaders, like yesterday. Thanks for letting me rant
Thanks, Richard. This is a safe space for ranting!
I agree...the "we will be ok" and the fireside hang with Trump were both inexcusable. Of course Obama didn't even do a "we'll be ok," he just went windsurfing. We need better leaders. Liz Cheney has more fight than anyone in Dem leadership.
Those are powerful words that will fall on deaf ears. I laugh every time a billionaire or a politician says the word transparency. Because it doesn't fucking exist. Are we leader less now? We will be on January 20. Is the corruption so deep and widespread that we're locked in? We are a corrupt Empire. Willing to watch the collateral damage of humanity for the sake of Wallstreet whores. They didn't care that over a million people died because the fucking overlords didn't want to pay to help prevent it. If Biden lays down and doesn't put a boot in someone's ass...well, it will feel like death of democracy. This is going to be painful. Our democracy is in hospice right now.
Our democracy is in hospice. That's a great line, and so true, and so sad and disappointing. Doesn't help when we are watching Biden age decades every week. Even Mitch doesn't have long for this world, seems like.
The thing these oligarchs don't get is that we all live in the same world. They need us, too, whether they like it or not. Having a shit society full of idiots who don't know how to do anything hurts EVERYONE. Ugh.
Great ideas all, Greg. BUT what is the likelihood of ANYONE now in office actually DOING IT?? Frankly, I think it’s pretty MEAN of you to taunt WE THE PEOPLE with these juicy ideas & plans - KNOWING neither Joe nor Kamala doing them. ARE YOU GONNA CALL THE WH and let them in on this To-Do list??? Yeah - I doubt it. CUT IT OUT! This shit hurts enough already. FUCK
She could have. We have never recovered from the tragedy of not having HRC in the White House, btw. People didn't vote for her bc they were afraid she was too hawkish on Assad. [shakes head]
Oh, none of them will do a damn thing. But I had to write this, just to show that yes, there ARE things they could have done. Just as we wrote about Kavanaugh four years ago, and MNS about SCOTUS, and Lisa about the VP. Nina Burleigh was, on literally Day One of the Biden Admin, clamoring about PR and DC being states, so we could have four more Senators. But nope. No urgency. Nothing.
Well, thanks anyway, for indulging my own rants and making me feel less alone. Godspeed all you democracy-loving freaks of nature. At some point—not having any alternatives—we will rise again.
One more for the list. Juan Merchan received 45,'s motion to dismiss on 2nd December. Well within his authority to rule against, forget about immunity for official acts, there is no way these charges fit the SCOTUS immunity ruling then reschedule sentencing for Monday, January 6 and throw his diapered ass in jail. Appeals will follow, stays may be granted but legal bills will sky rocket, news filled with an elected President sitting in a Rikers jail cell even for an afternoon, all alone. Let that picture overhang his retribution filled inaugural bullshit speech.
History time and again teaches that it only takes one person to make a difference, one person with all the levers to hand.
Thanks, Old Man. I forgot about that. He should have put him in jail, even for a few days. That would have been amazing. But this is a municipal-level judge with a family, and he got intimidated. The mob beat him. Simple as that. Hard to blame the low level folks like Merchan and Fani when the federales don't do shit.
Radioactive Caligula is my exact sentiment! Thanks Greg I’ve been screaming into the void about publishing every investigation from Trump’s Genovese money laundering birthright, the 5 East Coast Crime Family ties through Crossfire Hurricane and Simeon Mogilivech files! It’s crazy that this is where we are today locked in a class system battle with the haves and have nots, where the later votes the former onto his Dias! Thanks for the exceptional work you do!!
I definitely agree. The who long history of the Trump crime family with the mob, from living and interacting with Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky gangs, all of LB's history of the mob, to today as the biggest front man the mob has ever had...this is what Trump is, you can hear it in his language, see it in his veiled threats of violence and retribution, hear it in the voices gombas. Throw in the Russian mob tie-in, with Putin the over boss. They're declaring war...it is now or never.
Yes. This is them consolidating power. But perhaps there is one last metaphorical handgun taped to the old-style toilet in the men's room of the country...
These people don't read history. Extreme income inequality is bad for everybody. When the Lorenz Curve bulges too much, there is, always, revolution. If I'm an oligarch, I'm less concerned about one CEO being killed than the reaction on social media and the real world. People are PISSED.
The FIRST time I've seen Kamala Harris since the election was a very short clip of her and Doug in the balcony applauding at the Kennedy Center. And although this is a well-written piece as usual, it might as well be fiction. NONE of this is going to happen because no matter how much hope we may still have for the future, our feckless establishment leaders will do nothing with the power they have remaining to them for the next six weeks. I suspect Kamala and Doug will move back to California, and Dr. Jill has already been secretly having Joe's home office set up in Delaware. Everyone is just running out the clock. Congress will go on Christmas break soon and not be back until Jan 6th, when Kamala will certify the election, and two weeks later, Rough Beast will take the Oath, and stomp on it as he's always done.
I will not be viewing ANY coverage of either Jan 6th, where the MSM will be looking out for the slightest sign of another insurrection that won't happen (I wonder if Holy Mike Johnson will have the fencing put up around the Capitol), or the fucking Inauguration. I'll see quite enough coverage on local news on each of those nights. Local news is great in that way -- they spend all of 1-2 minutes on even HUGE national stories, I suspect so they can get to their bread-and-butter stories of shootings in Chicago. I take some of that back, they may have devoted FIVE minutes to Luigi Mangione last night, but it's a rare exception.
Which reminds me that I saw a story last night about some banquet the "Northwest Side GOP Club" (seriously!) put on that featured one of Trump's new immigration assholes. Apparently, the Mass Deportations® are starting in Chicago! And if Mayor Brandon Johnson tries to stand in the way, they're going to arrest him or sue him or charge him or some such nonsense. I don't see Lightweight Brandon Johnson standing in the way except to remind people that, "I'm the Mayor!" He was a HUGE mistake, and it makes me doubly glad I don't actually live in the city.
Thanks, Steve. I had to stop reading to make sure that there really is a mayoral figure named "Brandon Johnson." That sounds made up. I saw somewhere that the guy in charge of the mass deportations...excuse me, the prelude to genocide...is a former Obama appointee who was the first child separation guru. Fun times!
The long, protracted absence of KH is so very odd. I get needing some time to lick your wounds, but this? HRC spent two days in the woods and was back out there.
As for Mr. Mangione, as I said in a previous comment, if I'm an oligarch, I'm less worried about one CEO getting shot than the general reaction. We seem to be closer to all-out class war than anyone seems to realize. Which is what happens in class wars. One day they're making the pee-ons eat cake, the next day their heads are in a basket. I think we're probably too sedated on meds and distracted by phones to have anything like that happen here, but still, they should be worried. I'm worried, and I'm not on their side.
Yes, Brandon Johnson is a real person, I think. And I forgot, our CBS affiliate puts all their stories on YouTube, so enjoy! "The Northwest Side GOP Club." I still can't get over that there is such a thing. LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ldVdR2iPo
Thanks, William. If he really goes out with a whimper, and this isn't some elaborate game of possum, I will go to my grave not understanding it.
Sickening.
Absolutely.
It’s TUESDAY!🎉I’d be happy just with 1-5!
Ha! Right??
Seriously.
The vote on the amnesty is the biggie, I think. That would force a crisis and end him as POTUS. We'd have Vance, but still.
Someone needed to do this TY!! 👏 I think we’re Dark Brandon😎, not him. He’s ignoring us.
I fear you're right, Jenn. It's like we're Ben Kenobi in that scene from Star Wars...
- Do you know a Dark Brandon, or a Let's Go Brandon?
- Of course I know him, He's me.
🤯
Your lips to his ears...it's a lovely fantasy, and that makes me sad.
Some of this stuff is not particularly fanciful, is what makes it all the more frustrating.
100%
That’s 100% correct. And it’s beyond frustrating. Biden/Harris had to have considered these options. Are they afraid of retaliation (like so many we’ve seen “kissing the ring” the past few weeks)?

Truer words Autumn!!
Trump is a Treason and should be judged and sentenced accordingly, along with all his minion that back his treasonous acts.
Just like the Baptism Scene. Ugh.

Biden is either COMPLICIT or THE GOAT President.
Heed your call to fame Grandpa Joe!
Agreed, Jim. Our best hope is that the factions waste all their energy fighting each other instead of working together. They don't ALL want the same thing. As for Joe, I will never understand.

Yes. This is them consolidating power. But perhaps there is one last metaphorical handgun taped to the old-style toilet in the men's room of the country...
lol nice
