Re Diddy pardon, he really does think he is impervious to the fallout from the Epstein revelations.

Best episode yet! Watched it twice and shared as much as possible. Madrid put into words all my feelings and observances. Loved the truth to Lincoln discussion. Totally agree that what occurred in this episode is how politics should be conducted in this country. The political "wordliness" of the 2 Mikes never ceases to amaze and enlighten me. I agree that we're not at the tipping point of irredeemability. MM is correct. That will be when everyday people who are normally at work, keeping their heads down, trying to get ahead, are collectively marching in the streets armed & all is chaos. Then we will know that the great experiment has failed. Let's do our best to prevent that.

I was listening to this Substack it was infuriating, I had to turn it off….Mr Madrid is clearly a Republican who wants Dems to lose. Please listen to Rick Wilson’s 7 minute Substack who is another Project Lincoln founder who wants Dems to win. Huge difference: https://therickwilson.substack.com/p/democrats-its-do-or-die-on-redistricting?r=2g811&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=audio-player

We shouldn't talk about voters. Accountability won't happen at the voting booth in 2026, because that won't be a fair elections. Add to that, waiting until then to stop the madness will leave the public faithless in the sincerity of the opposition. All action should be on dismantling the regime NOW.

Madrid is right about needing the Dems to fight for the system, at least in terms of us following rules and not just raw power. The focus needs to be on upholding ALL the RULES, not just those about elections. And that includes things like a president that upholds the Constitution.

Mike, You are right. We MUST win elections to stop the Republicans. It does us no good to not step up and fight…it’s why we lost Presidential races in modern times. We need a scrapper like Robert Kennedy Sr and Bill Clinton. They both would stand toe to toe. What Mike is proposing won’t work and would take too much time to spin out as Republicans destroy our country.

Palestinians and Israeli's have not been fighting for thousands of years. There have been Israelites - a people, not a place - for thousands of years. There have been Israeli's only since 1948. Palestinians were original Canaanites from the bronze age (81-87%). They have not fought for thousands of years.

Debra, you are right. It did start with the Balfour Declaration in the early 1900s. I didn't go that far. My personal frustration is that people saying "thousands of years", "as long as time", etc. It hasn't been "forever". But I agree with this BBC article. Thanks for the link.

(also I think people believe because the middle east has been in turmoil as long as they can remember, they just assume it is Palestinian and Israeli)

I agree. But what I hear in their voice is writing the conflict i.e. the people off.

Who didn't see a Diddy pardon coming? Maxwell too. Once a sleazy grifter conman, always a sleazy grifter conman. The most disgusting among us are running our country.

This is all about parasites of society. It is not about Krasnov but innocent minor children. Energy vampires are all going to be visible soon as vibration shifts in the universe rises. This is coming and sure. Praise God from whom all blessing flow. Seatstle
