To all US Representatives and Senators, especially those from Texas

I am outraged that Congress is considering any proposals sent to you by the Russian puppet, Donold Ivan Trumpski to destroy the USA, it's allies, and people of this country, especially ones that take food assistance and health care away from people to pay for tax cuts for the Traitorous, blood-sucking rich. This puppet government is full of Russian agents, from the top down. One has to wonder how many Russian traitors I am writing to in this demand that the Congress do nothing to encourage the traitors that they are in fact in charge of the USA. With your votes on the Cabinet officers of the Traitor, you are deeply suspect in your loyalty to the USA as well. Perhaps, we should have an Independent Prosecutor investigate the loyalty of all current and former Republican elected officials, including local, county, state, and national. You all have smelled like sturgeon for a long-time now and the Senators that went to Moscow on July 4th a number of years ago, may be the most rotten of all.

It has been a dodge for years, calling the Democrats spies for the Russians. It's been you since the early 90's, if not before. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan to weaken the will of the people and the Armed Forces. The backdoor deal with Russians and Chinese. the super patriot fantasy to lull your supporters into the fantasy world they now inhabit like heroin addicts. The stream of Manchurian Candidates. The constant lying and bullshit fantasies you've dreamed up to weave a fog over your true objective: To destroy the United States and enslave them to a new Soviet Empire. The destruction of the middle class in the 80's and 90's, the release of fentanyl to addict those in pain, so that no one would notice your sturgeon stink until, you supposed, was too late. You failed. Trumpsky had scared people, but now he has woken them up, with his normal premature ejaculation yesterday at the UN.

I suggest that you turn yourself in to the nearest Armed Forces JAG office, confess your crimes against America and beg for mercy. If you delay and the People come for you, tar and feathers might be the least to fear.

Michal - well put.

Perhaps copy it, print it or email it to all of them (assuming they read, of course < and that's me being snarky).

They are all deeply suspect in their loyalty to this country and their constituents.

It is horrifying.

But I don't know that local groups could organize to get tar and feathers together - but I would suggest organizing some other interested, like-minded individuals (maybe some attorneys, Veterans with conscience and morals... )

Replying, mostly, that your response is seen - and heard.

The lies, backdoor deals, traitorous actions are outrageous (which is probably an understatement)

Thank you, I agree, about getting to wider audience. I just don't know if there is a common congressional email address that could send this to and get it distributed.

As for the snark, I tend to agree with you. I think they have someone to read to them.

I was hoping that maybe someone here would know how to get it out wider.

So, yes, I thank you for the kind words and ideas.

Letters to the editor in your hometown (or close major city) paper and the Washington Post or NYT. They and or their staff read letters to the editor. I am sure there are other ways to address it to more congresspersons. Why not just start with your own.

Michal: they all seem to have staff, right?

We here (as part of the great “unwashed voting folks’) have no staff but if there’s a way to get things to their staff - and this would be more work for you and, perhaps, a few friends - find office addresses, emails. Hand-deliver things if possible… having done a few protest things in my youth, sometimes one needs to enlist, literally, boots/sneakers on the ground:

“Hi - have a flyer!”

Wishing you well with this!

Please feel free to use it yourself in your area. I'm in Lubbock.

Oh then I hope those you know will be safe from measles. An infant on a flight from overseas arrived in Orange Cty CA. The infant has measles. Airborne like COVID we will see this spread beyond TX & NM. There’s no one to protect the many and those who put others at risk. Damn them all.

Thanks, Michal.

We have other (more targeted locally - I'm in MI) things going on here.

Your phrasings may be borrowed - so you know.

All good wishes as you go forward!

Thanks for this. I have come across a similar movement here in Northern Ireland, with connections in local extremist politics or religious groupings. Some are disenchanted British ex military who were making links across Europe with fellow travellers last time I was in their loop, just pre Brexit. They were all pro Brexit, Trump and anti EU. This power seeking nihilist’s club is a global problem.

That was fabulous, Waj. Another book for me to buy and read ASAP. Katherine has done her research, and I can’t wait to dive in. Thank you both so very much much.

Thank you so much. What an awesome interview. I had long been wondering about the coalition of strange bedfellows; the tech bros, oligarchs, Christian Nationalists, MAGA, Trump, Project 2025, etc. I have read reporting from Gil Duran, Sarah Kendzior, Jim Stewartson, Dave Troy and others and my myopic view slowly came into stark focus. So glad to add Katherine Stewart's book and reporting as well.

Thanks Waj and Katherine! Very interesting conversation…..really want to read the book!

I expect these types to be working towards their dystopian fantasy. What rest concerns me is how readily the Democrats (and ordinary Americans) captured to it all.

It’s not like it was a secret cabal. They did this all in plain sight. Hell, They even wrote their plan down for us…

The bros are so cruel!
