Personally, I believe this entire cabal of Trumpian Biden-esque billionaire tech/banker pharma/fraudsters are public enemy #1, not just Drumf.

I enjoyed listing to then Portland-based Tom Hartman back when Dubya was bombing Iraq for Israel. (Even a broken clock is right twice a day.)

But now I do not find Tom Hartman a useful source for factual info as he is all Team Blue and makes himself blind to Dem failures, and as such, in my view, he is a purveyor of misinformation. And that is a problem that I see with Dems in general: that Team Blue does no wrong -ever. It’s often cult-like and scary in my view.

Most of MAGA, however, as we see playing out in real-time, is more than willing to point out the failures of Team Red and make much noise about it. As such, my hope for America (the little to be found) lies with the anti-Israel anti-war anti-Drumf MAGA crowd that has emerged post Iran-bombing, post Gaza-genocide, post Epstein cover-up.

I believe Drumf is an anti-American tyrant; just as bad if not worse were the ‘covid’ tyrants in my view, and most were Dems, although Drumf declared himself the ‘Father of the vaccine’’.

Tom wrote:

“Trump also regularly lashed out at Democratic governors like Gretchen Whitmer and Andrew Cuomo while ignoring their pleas for ventilators and PPE. As the death toll mounted, Trump publicly minimized the virus, holding rallies and rejecting masks, while privately admitting to journalist Bob Woodward that Covid was “deadly stuff.”

First of all, mask’s do not stop covid, Tom. I think we all know that now that everyone has had ‘covid’ despite the widespread use of masks. I am actually shocked that Tom tried to use this old and tired scare tactic.

Second, Woodward is a deep state CIA-asset and a fraud, not the bad-ass independent journalist played by Robert Redford in ‘All The President’s Men’. Remember that Deep Throat was in reality the Deputy Director of the FBI.

Third, Cuomo got his ventilators AND never used them. He also got that BIG Navy medical ship to anchor in NY harbor and never used it, save a few dozen for show.

You see, the ventilators didn’t work because the virus was engineered to corrupt the oxygen receptors. No amount of ventilating will work when one’s body can’t uptake the oxygen. Nice guys Bill Gates and Fauci and company.

Like the ‘covid’ tyrants in Oregon, Whitmer DEMONIZED everyday folks who were trying to stay healthy by going OUTSIDE AND GETTING FRESH AIR. She restricted boats to 2 people, because Whitmer’s ’science’ (‘fascism’ really) said if there was more than two people on a boat they will all get ‘covid’!

(Contrast this with a woman I just met who spent the ‘pandemic’ in Oklahoma, except she said it was as if there was NO pandemic in Oklahoma as their leaders did NOT bow down to Fauci and Gates. Maybe Oklahoma is OK after all!)

Do you know where the 6-feet apart thing came from? A high school science project during the reign of Bush the First.

Here in Tillamook County the TCSO and our own Nehalem Bay Fire Dept played the role of fascist, closing our boat launches WHEN WE NEEDED TO BE OUTSIDE THE MOST!!!! I was glared at from ashore by a NBFD fireman because I was in the water in my kayak. I simply walked my kayak in from the shore, and this fireman did not like that one bit! (Stay home and inside! No fresh air for you!!! Get vaccinated!!! Obey your masters!!!)

OUR HIKING TRAILS WERE CLOSED WHEN WE NEEDED FRESH AIR THE MOST. OUR BEACHES WERE CLOSED!!!!! WHAT!?????? OUR CHILDREN WERE MASKED AT SCHOOL FOR MONTHS BCAUSE ELDERLY TEACHERS WERE SCARED!!!!

AND EVERYONE STILL GOT COVID!!!!

AND THE KIDS GOT A GOOD CASE OF DEPRESSION AND EXISTENTIAL ANGST RIGHT ALONG WITH IT

OUR STATE PARKS WERE CLOSED!!!!! (I snuck into Nehalem Bay SP every day, and encourage everyone to do the same in the future. Do not obey tyrants, wether they are Feds or the TCSO!)

Whitmer and Cuomo pushed shots on the populace THAT THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, save what corrupt Fauci told them. They ‘trusted the science’. AND THEN EVEONE GOT COVID! Cuomo’s CNN brother was famous for shaming his audience into shooting Pfizer’s junk, saying that the ONLY way to avoid getting ‘covid’ (lab-engineered SARS) was by shooting the junk. Then he famously GOT COVID, like all of the others making money off the scam. I think it was 20-million dollars out of CNN’s Anderson Cooper’s 50-million dollar show that came from PFIZER. No ‘covid’ truth on that show.

Here is a short collection of ‘covid’ videos from folks that lied like, Whitmer and Cuomo. And they are both in this video.

Here is some comedy from Woody Harrelson about this:

More comedy, kind of serious though:

If Tom was to admit that the above happened, I might listen to him about other stuff. But until then…

Tom also wrote:

“Most infamously, on January 6th, 2021, he incited an insurrection designed to halt the peaceful transition of power in a stunning betrayal without precedent in American history. He encouraged extremist and white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers, effectively endorsing domestic terrorism.”

In my view, January 6th was a riot staged by Democrats and the FBI in an attempt to frame Drumf and disqualify him from running for president again. Nancy Pelosi has said as much. And the FBI has admitted that they had dozens of agents in the crowd that day. I say most were provocateurs.

(The downtown Portland BLM riots that summer were definitely domestic terrorism in my view.)

There are lots of videos of FBI provocateurs on J6. Also, Pelosi refused Drumf’s request for more capital police, and the few that were there opened the security gates for the ‘insurrectionists’, which was the Dems’ objective. Ray Epps is also a sympathetic character in Nancy Pelosi’s daughter’s documentary that she was mysteriously shooting that day:

Also, Tom, J6 was not ‘unprecedented’ in American history, as the California state capitol was stormed by BLACKS WITH GUNS!!!!! Black Panthers baby!

I think Tom is very wrong on these two points, and with the threat of Gates’ pandemic #2, I think the former subject matter is still in need of critical, factual understanding by many.

In closing, here is some Public Enemy, the band:

I want to say the biggest THANK YOU to the first responders that helped me on Sunday after my fall through a step on stairs at my home! You were quick and kind and so efficient. Even though I was bleeding from a head wound you didn’t flinch and just got in there to stand me up, etc. Also a special thanks to “Mike the Cop” for coming right away to comfort us until medical could get here.

The good news is I was able to come home from ER same day. Nothing broken, but pretty bruised and no sitches! Resting still but so grateful for all of your help!

Thom Hartmann has written a book that is soon to be published, “The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink.”

Is Donald Trump America’s Public Enemy #1? The explosive case for why Donald Trump Is the most dangerous criminal in U.S. history… THOM HARTMANN JUL 22
When historians look back on this era, they’ll inevitably ask how a nation built on principles of democracy, justice, and equality allowed one man to commit such a broad range of crimes and abuses, and whether Donald Trump is indeed the most dangerous criminal in American history.
To fully grasp the gravity of Trump’s actions, consider the extensive categories of his criminal and potentially criminal conduct, each more disturbing than the last.
First, there’s the relentless financial corruption. Trump has long played fast and loose with the law when it came to his finances. In New York, his company was convicted of tax fraud and financial manipulation designed to deceive lenders and inflate his wealth. Trump University was shuttered after a $25 million fraud settlement, its “students” left feeling defrauded.
His charitable organization, the Trump Foundation, was dissolved following revelations that funds intended for charity were instead used to benefit Trump personally and politically, and to pay off Pam Bondi in Florida where he and Epstein were living (she was Attorney General for almost a decade and never went after Epstein).
But Trump’s shady financial dealings didn’t begin or end with these public scandals. For decades, he was closely associated with New York’s organized crime families. Trump Tower itself was built using concrete provided by mob-linked companies.
Roy Cohn, Trump’s mentor and attorney as I detail in The Last American President: A Broken Man, a Corrupt Party, and a World on the Brink, was a notorious fixer and lawyer for mob figures such as Anthony “Fat Tony” Salerno and Paul Castellano.
Trump’s casinos also regularly skirted the law, drawing scrutiny from federal investigators for potential money laundering linked to organized crime, and his former casino manager recently revealed to CNN that Trump and Jeffrey Epstein once even showed up together with underage girls in tow (the White House denies the story).
Trump’s long relationship with Epstein further exposes his moral bankruptcy and possible criminality. The two were close associates and owned residences near each other in New York and Palm Beach, socializing together frequently.
Trump famously described Epstein as a “terrific guy” who enjoyed the company of beautiful women, some “on the younger side.” Multiple reports suggest Trump knew about Epstein’s exploitation of minors, yet Trump continued their association until public scandal made it inconvenient.
Then there are Trump’s questionable international relationships, with none more alarming than his mysterious affinity for Vladimir Putin. Trump’s first administration consistently favored Russian interests, dismissing election interference findings from American intelligence agencies, undermining NATO, and, in his second administration even withholding military aid from Ukraine, thus benefiting Putin’s geopolitical ambitions.
While the full nature of Trump’s entanglement with Putin remains hidden, Trump’s obsequious behavior toward the Russian dictator raises serious questions about financial leverage or compromised loyalties. For example, the only major country in the world Trump chose not to impose tariffs on this year was Russia.
Trump’s disturbing Russian connections also include his 2016 campaign manager and close confidant, Paul Manafort, whose career was dedicated to installing pro-Putin autocrats and corrupt oligarchs across Eastern Europe, including Ukraine and Albania. Heidi Seigmund Cuda writes about his recent Albania connection in her great Bette Dangerous Substack newsletter.
Manafort was convicted of multiple felonies, including tax and bank fraud, stemming from his shady dealings overseas, actions intimately connected with Putin’s broader geopolitical ambitions, for which Trump pardoned him.
Trump’s choice of Manafort to lead his 2016 campaign wasn’t coincidental; it signaled to Moscow an openness to influence, further raising troubling questions about Trump’s susceptibility to foreign manipulation and complicity in Manafort’s criminal schemes.
Trump’s election interference is equally alarming. It began with hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal to manipulate public perception during the 2016 campaign, for which he was convicted of felony election manipulation charges in Manhattan last year.
More brazenly, Trump attempted to subvert democracy in Georgia when he lost the 2020 election by demanding of Georgia’s Secretary of State, “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.”
His attempts to cling to power by any means necessary reached a terrifying crescendo with the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, ultimately joined by over 100 Republican members of Congress. This led to a federal indictment, making him the first former president charged with seeking to destroy the very democratic system that put him into power.
Trump’s abuse of presidential authority is chillingly unprecedented. Robert Mueller’s investigation laid out multiple instances where Trump criminally obstructed justice, brazenly interfering with federal investigations. He solicited foreign interference from Ukraine in the 2020 election, a move that led to his first impeachment.
Trump’s presidency was also marred by repeated violations of the Emoluments Clause as he profited directly from foreign governments funneling money through his hotels and golf clubs. He pitched Teslas from the White House in flagrant violation of the Hatch Act (penalty: 5 years in prison). Even after leaving office in 2021, Trump illegally retained classified documents and obstructed federal efforts to retrieve them, leading to further federal charges.
One of the most grotesque and morally bankrupt chapters of the Trump presidency unfolded in the early months of the Covid pandemic, when Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner reportedly made the political calculation that the virus was “only hitting Blue states” and disproportionately killing Black Americans so it could be weaponized.
According to reporting at the time, Kushner convened a secretive White House task force of mostly male, white, preppy private-sector advisors who concluded that a robust federal response to minimize deaths would be politically disadvantageous. Their analysis was clear: since it was primarily Democratic governors and Black communities suffering the early brunt of the pandemic (NY, NJ, WA), Trump could politically benefit by blaming local leadership and withholding meaningful federal aid.
It was a cynical — and deadly — strategy to let the virus burn through the opposition’s voter base that ultimately led to an estimated 500,000 unnecessary American deaths and gave us as the second-most Covid deaths per person in the world.
This approach not only explains the administration’s chaotic and insufficient response to testing, supplies, and coordination, it exposes a level of callous — morally, if not legally criminal — political calculus rarely seen in modern American history since the days of the Trail of Tears.
Leaked documents and internal communications at the time confirmed that federal resources were distributed unevenly, often favoring Republican-led states.
Trump also regularly lashed out at Democratic governors like Gretchen Whitmer and Andrew Cuomo while ignoring their pleas for ventilators and PPE. As the death toll mounted, Trump publicly minimized the virus, holding rallies and rejecting masks, while privately admitting to journalist Bob Woodward that Covid was “deadly stuff.”
This wasn’t just negligence: it was targeted neglect driven by racism and partisanship, carried out in the middle of a once-in-a-century public health emergency.
Beyond these abuses of power, Trump openly incited political violence. His rhetoric fueled vigilantism and violent confrontations at rallies.
Most infamously, on January 6th, 2021, he incited an insurrection designed to halt the peaceful transition of power in a stunning betrayal without precedent in American history. He encouraged extremist and white supremacist groups like the Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers, effectively endorsing domestic terrorism.
Right up until he took office and corruptly shut them down, investigations continued into potential wire fraud and misuse of funds from Trump’s “Save America” PAC, alongside scrutiny into financial irregularities involving his Truth Social platform.
Investigations into obstruction, witness intimidation, and potential bribery — now blocked as the Supreme Court has put him above the law, or shut down by his toadies — further compound his record of potential crimes.
Yet Trump’s ultimate crime goes beyond mere lawbreaking. He has methodically eroded democratic institutions, weaponized disinformation to undermine public trust, and attacked the traditionally nonpartisan independence of the judiciary, intelligence agencies, military, and law enforcement. His assaults on the press are right out of Putin’s playbook. Trump’s relentless assault on truth and democracy normalizes authoritarianism and political violence.
Thus, his most dangerous crime is not simply corruption or obstruction, nor even incitement of insurrection: it’s the deliberate attempted destruction of American democracy itself. This crime, far more profound than any individual act, threatens the survival of the republic itself.
If America is to survive as a free nation, we must confront the reality of Trump’s actions. He isn’t merely a criminal; he’s become the most dangerous criminal in American history precisely because his actions imperil the very foundations of our democracy.
Allowing such crimes to go unpunished risks setting a precedent that future would-be autocrats may follow, forever tarnishing the promise of American democracy. Once he’s out of power, our nation’s new mantra must become, “Never forget, never forgive, never again.”
