"The #Saudis & #Putin are gambling on a #Trump win. Already manipulating the 2024 election, b/c they both desperately want him back in office, last week they cut world oil production by 1.3m barrels/day.

Those cuts —which immediately boosted oil prices by $10/barrel— will sustain until after the Nov, 2024 election...both knowing that $5-6/gallon will swing voters. Will Americans fall for it?" #ThomHartmann #Substack

"3] Putin’s wholly-owned man, #Trump.

A world-class grifter & career criminal who’s been helping #Russian #oligarchs launder their ill-gotten gains thru real estate for decades, Trump & the criminals associated w/ him want to take over #America so they can end the rule of law & institute a☝️party #neofascist , #WhiteSupremacist , strongman state." #ThomHartmann https://bit.ly/44Ea7Pm

"To be clear, these chaos agents are not revolutionaries in the mold of this country’s founders, no matter how much they claim that...using the language, flags, & logos of that era.

The people who created #America were doing the opposite of creating chaos: they shared a coherent belief in the goodness of humanity & the possibility of democracy working here in North America, & organized themselves into orderly, well-organized political-military groups." #ThomHartmann https://hartmannreport.com/p/whats-america-to-do-with-the-chaos-df6

"This is apparently not lost on sour-grapes Jill Stein, by the way; she’s reportedly helping run Cornell West’s 2024 Green Party candidacy. It’s also not lost on the Democrat-hating folks at No Labels, who have pledged to put up a candidate for president (presumably Joe Manchin) in 2024."

"(In Michigan she got 51,463 votes and Trump won by 10,704; in Pennsylvania she won 49,678 versus Trump’s margin of 46,765; and in Wisconsin Stein carried 31,006 votes but Trump only won by 22,177.)"

". . . had liberals not voted for Ralph Nader in Florida in 2000, Al Gore would have become president . . . had people in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin not voted for Jill Stein in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have become president"

"For example, in Florida in 2000, Ralph Nader on the Green Party’s ticket got 97,488 votes, while George W. Bush “won” Florida by 537 votes."

In 2016 "Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin provided Trump’s margin of victory in the Electoral College over Hillary Clinton, and, in each of those states, [Jill] Stein pulled more votes than Trump’s margin."

". . . third parties almost always act as spoilers, drawing votes away from the major party to which they’re most closely aligned. People who vote Green, for example, generally would have voted Democratic, thus reducing that party’s vote; people who vote Libertarian would have voted Republican with the same effect."

🥥 What's you source for saying #ThomHartmann is anti- vax?
Credible source or take it back or shut the fuck up. 🥥

I like watching #ThomHartmann and #MikeMalloy to see how insane either one is on any given day. Hartmann, for example, still believes that #Russia helped elect #DonaldTrump in 2016.

🥥 Author #ThomHartmann has until recently been a voice in the wilderness.
He points out how #CivilRights, #WomensRights, #GayRights, #AntiWar movements in the '60s and '70s so frightened #conservatives.
They moved heaven and earth to take over the courts, diminish the middle class, destroy public education, privatize the commons, co-opt the vote, and shift income to the wealthiest.
We in the US can't have nice things because of the last 50 years of creeping fascism. 🥥

@LadyDragonfly 🥥 Oh, and a quick historical side note: Per #ThomHartmann, for many, many years the #GreatDepression was known as the "Great Republican Depression."
Put THAT in your pipe and join a #union. 🥥

Any sufficiently large corporation is indistinguishable from (a totalitarian) government. We can’t know in the circumstances if we won’t descend into nightmare

🥥 #ThomHartmann lays out why the #GOP hasn't been "better for business" or the #MiddleClass since at least 1980:
"The only businesses Republicans actually support are gun sellers, megachurches, corrupt defense contractors, and giant monopolies. And none of those are good for average Americans, locally-owned businesses, or the US economy." 🥥
