Another great post Dan. Thank you so much. I love your Badge of Honor from Nixon. That is way cool. You deserve it. It's ironic though how we've and you too have come full circle. This time however is so much more frightening.

I was telling one friend how I feel like we're living in 1930's Germany right now but most everyone else is still asleep. Like Steve Schmidt said that's the number one threat we face this Election besides our dysfunctional Media is Voter apathy. We have a LOT of work to do if we want to stop the horrible menace of Trump and MAGA once and for all. I'm honored to be working along side of you in this fight. Thanks for your service to our country all these years and for your continued work. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ’™

Thanks for sharing Craig. That was a great piece. So so scary though. We are truly living in a parallel universe of 1930's Germany right now. The problem is most people don't even realize it. By the time they do it could be too late.

Talk about hitting the nail on the head! Thanks for posting this link, Craig. It was totally disturbing but totally worth the read.

Steve Schmidt, who decided to make money one last time, going off to work for Dean Phillips and opposed Biden, despite all his oh-so-sincere BS on his Substack about how we all have to support Biden to prevent Trump's return. I turned that moron off the day he did that.

He's not working for him anymore. He also apologized. The only thing he did was help Dean launch his campaign I believe. Steve is now full on for Biden and is fighting hard to stop Trump and MAGA. We need every voice we can get so I support him 100%. He is wise beyond his years about History and politics and people listen to him. He is far far from a moron. Just saying.

Weโ€™ll find out how genuine he is after S EC hearings. I have a suspicion this was a money grab for Steve.

No it wasnt . You need to read what he is writing these days. He is very much fighting for America and Biden. Here's an example:

After subscribing and hearing him tell well in advance of introducing Dean Phillips, about how we need young and new blood in the party (btw, he was a lifelong republican) and then introduce some guy, Scott? he hammered on to my and others insistence that nono we need Biden, competent Biden not options. He swore up and down how this was his heart, he's a patriot he's all this stuff. I'm glad he's doing this now. Doesn't change the past or what the SEC will find. We shall wait and see. At the beginning and end of the day Steve Schmidt is a political analyst not a military veteran or shows any public service. A political analyst is a job that pays well. I don't begrudge anyone a good career. What is his career? He's spent his career pushing republicans, like McCain and Bush. He's for Biden now because it serves him and Biden is also the correct side of history at this moment. Win win. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Schmidt

Thanks for saying that, TC. My feelings about Schmidt diminished totally when he took up Phillips.

I think he just wanted someone who might make Biden rethink some of his policies and thereby IMPROVE his chances of winning. I donโ€™t think he believed Phillips had any chance of reaching the general election. This is in the same democratic (small d) spirit of the Uncommitted vote in Michigan. They werenโ€™t trying to get Trump elected, but to influence Biden, who seems to be blind to his power to stop the Gaza slaughter, which could in fact be a factor in losing to Trump. Trumpโ€™s supporters have no sympathy for crushed kids, and are convinced Jeesus will return when Israel rebuilds the temple. There is no point in trying to appeal to them to change course.
