Zev, grateful for your reporting, and analysis though it gets harder every day to take in. I’m afraid everything gets worse from this point, the abyss is widening in real time. No Kings Day has to be a huge turn out next week. God help us!

I know it's difficult and we dare not let it consume us. I find a little Thomas Paine can be helpful at times like this: "THESE are the times that try men's souls : The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands by it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the

harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly." Allow yourself to dream a little. The day is coming! We are the light and we will prevail over the darkness.

Zev, the oil & Strait of Hormuz is even worse than you stated…. I read just a bit of an article from JVL at The Bulwark. Am posting below what was said. Apparently Tehran is attempting to cut a deal with China. If China signs on, the implications are very far reaching. Yikes.

“Tehran: We will continue to resist, however we are open to allowing oil transport in the strait that we control provided the product is sold in yuan and not dollars.”

I saw that reported early this morning on CNN. This is not Nato’s war, he and bibi started this. I am so glad Canada is staying out. trump needs to eat crow and understand that you don’t spit on your partner’s and expect them to run to your aid because you demand it and YOU WILL REMEMBER if we don’t. The arrogance of this man. I want him to be charged in the Hague along with the rest of his cabal.

Agree with everything you said. Especially being charged in The Hague. It cannot happen soon or fast enough for me.

Sad youth aren’t voting .

Thanks, Zev. It is emotionally exhausting to hear the daily lying ultimatums that drump puts out.

Hey, I need some help for an inadvertent $140 charge I don’t want.

That was a depressing synopsis. I may need to go back to bed.

Zev, thank you for all your work. But really, nothing will change. Americans must be fine with a traitor at the helm, screwing them blind, robbing them, killing them. No one is doing anything. No one puts any pressure on their representatives. The orange carcass and his cabinet have been breaking the law for over a year and what's happened to them? Nothing! It's just getting worse. He should have been impeached a long time ago. But no, the pussies in the congress are too afraid of a moron who's about to walk around with his diaper over his pants. Some of them are wearing clown shoes to please him. People are dying because of him!!!!! DYING!!!! What's it going to take, FFS! He doesn't care about his own loser kids, and people actually think he cares about them? Put pressure on your reps till they can't take it anymore. Why would he stop now? No one has stopped him yet. No Kings Day will do nothing. What did the last one accomplish? Zero. Wake the fuck up people!!!!!!!
