Will our leaders and media have the courage to do it?
If Trump isn't exposed as a weakling fraud, our country dies.
Battle lines are now drawn in neighborhoods, workplaces, and even families, as longtime relationships are torn apart over loyalty to America's strongman fascist leader, Donald Trump.
How Much Better Off would America be If 6 Republican Presidents Hadn't Stolen The White House?
Jan. 22, 2021 4:14 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... It's about time the last one, Trump, is held accountable
Trump's impeachment trial is coming up in the Senate, and already his allies are trying to throw up procedural roadblocks to exhaust the effort to hold him accountable. Should America "move beyond" Trump? No friggin' way.
Shameless Radical Religious Leaders Have Now Corrupted Government
Jan. 22, 2021 10:02 amBy Thom Hartmann A... It's time to cut them off from the "free lunch" of tax exemption
It's time for average Americans to stop being forced to subsidize politically radical religious leaders.
Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and heir to the multimillion-dollar Graham fortune, just publicly said that the 10 Republicans voting to impeach Donald Trump and the US House of Representatives were like Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
America is dying: three steps to bring us back from the brink
Jan. 21, 2021 4:38 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Other developed countries are doing all these things; we can, too

Jan. 21, 2021 8:41 amBy Thom Hartmann A... People think that they know the answer, "Oh, I know it when I see it; I know it when I feel it; I know it when I hear it." But how do you know that your partner is experiencing being loved?
"Trumpism" is just reinvented Reaganism with added brutality
Jan. 20, 2021 3:54 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... Grifter Trump stole Trumpism, just like everything else in his life
The king is dead; long live the [new] king.*
With today's transfer of power in Washington, DC, Trump isn't dead, but the best hope for the future of America and the world is that his political movement does, in fact, die an ignominious death.
The distressing truth: Why white people are embracing fascism
Jan. 20, 2021 8:38 amBy Thom Hartmann A... White supremacy is real and white suppression of minorities, particularly Black people, absolutely permeates every aspect of our society, from business to culture to governance.

The Big Lie and truth are in an epic battle for the soul of America - The media and brave politicians hold the key
Jan. 18, 2021 3:43 pmBy Thom Hartmann A... The media and brave politicians hold the key
The media must explode this generation's Big Lie: Donald Trump's assertion that he really won the election and "voter fraud" handed a false victory to Joe Biden.
Trump and his handmaids on Fox, et al, have pushed his Big Lie so hard and so far that more than half of Republicans fully believe it -thus some are predictably acting on it, from the January 6th failed coup to armed protests at state capitols all around the nation. As long as they believe the Lie, they're not going to stop or go away.

The history is fascinating, and not only tells us how they'll be re-running this long con but also what Democrats can do to expose it.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
From Screwed:
"Thom Hartmann’s book explains in simple language and with concrete research the details of the Neo-con’s war against the American middle class. It proves what many have intuited and serves to remind us that without a healthy, employed, and vital middle class, America is no more than the richest Third World country on the planet."
