Love your writing. And I appreciate you pushing back on the idea that trump will cancel the elections. The elections are run by states, not the federal government. Could some MAGA governors cause mischief? Sure. But I imagine DeSantis and Patrick and Kemp will have bungled so much by the fall that if they attempted to mess with the elections they would have no support. I mean having lots of dead grandmas and grandpas on your hands because ‘muh economy’ meant you didn’t lock down before lots of folks died isn’t going to play well with anyone. Thanks
Will you PLEASE go tell that moron, one-trick Bill Maher this? No one seems to have the stones to point out to him on his (wonderful yet poorly hosted) show that his belaboring the ridiculous warning that ‘trump aint leavin’ is idiotic and overlooks several factors including, well, U.S. MARSHALS! Personally, I’d love to see Chito Assholini try it so we could view him being cuffed and stuffed, dragged crying all sweaty and orange smeared into a D.C. metro police car, head banging against the door jam as he himself suggested to law enforcement, hair askew and dome spattered with black blood...whew, that felt good!
I stopped watching Maher two years ago. I can't stand how he talks over his guests, especially the women (except Ann C, who he clearly has the hots for).
Thanks, Greg. You are a bracing tonic on this morning after my Lt. Governor's exhortation to lay down my 66-year-old life for my non-existent grandchildren. Let the Olds die for the economy! It's the right thing to do. I *might* die if it comes to that because the last ventilator is not going to be used on me, that's pretty clear, but gee whiz, Dan Patrick. You had to give me nightmares first, didn't you!? If I make it through this with my sanity intact, it will be in part because YOU keep me grounded in the realities of our history, our shared experience, and our values. Thanks for that, old bean. They let you say that when you are an Old, just before...well, never mind.
I’m with you. I’d crawl over hot broken glass with a virus over it just to vote Trump OUT. Nothing would give me greater joy these days. For over 3 years my stomach has been in knots. My teeth clenched while I listen to his BS, watch him, his kids, Senate Republicans pillage our country while Barr FIXES things for Trump & McConnell gives the word EVIL a run for its money-literally.
I’m surrounded by staunch republicans in my office. They see nothing & I mean nothing wrong with anything Trump does including locking babies in cages. OMG seriously.
BTW, there are still babies, others licked away & separated. It’s like they are forgotten. 😪
Thank you Greg. I truly appreciate all your articles. You give us all a voice! 💝🇺🇸
(by Greg Olear, article)We could glimpse the finish line. Bernie had lost, Biden was the nominee, and all we had to do was make it to November, just 240 some-odd days away, and then a few lame-duck months until January, and we would have emerged from four years of the worst presidency of all time relatively unscathed.

People are remarkably tolerant...to a point. When their own lives are in danger, their own families at risk, they WILL wake up.

Dan Patrick said the quiet part out loud. Contemptibly heinous human being.
Yes. I wonder about Texas politicians sometimes... Interesting article shared by a Canadian friend: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/coronavirus-covid-economy-seniors-1.5510079
Dan Patrick's(Lt. Gov., Texas) comment on March 24, 2020.
Had forgotten about that.
Omg Greg!
The last 2 paragraphs had tears in my eyes.
