Originally published at: Now’s the Time to Prepare for the Great Post-Trump Renewal
The Work of Our Lifetimes In typically shitty Trump fashion, he mounted a late bid to fight the removal of his name from D.C.’s Kennedy Center, blew the court-ordered deadline Friday for taking it down, and mostly shielded his loss from public view with a tarp. But before the new deadline of noon Saturday, the…

This is how you know the deal is a shit sandwich for us. Because they wouldn’t be giving JD the credit if it were any good.
Lindsey Graham puts the Iran deal squarely on the shoulders of JD Vance, possibly positioning Vance to become the subject of a stab-in-the-back myth to excuse Trump’s foreign policy failure:

First the Hungarians did it. Now the Albanians.

Albania has officially drawn the line, Sazan 'lsland is being cleared. In an stunning turn of events, Albanian authorities have launched an active enforcement operation to kick out foreign developers and private security personnel occupying Sazan Island. The development, backed by Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners and involving Ivanka Trump visits, targets Sazan Island and nearby ecologically sensitive wetlands home to flamingos, seals, and turtles. The decisive action marks a total collapse of the controversial €1.4 billion luxury real estate deal that aimed to turn the protected national marine reserve and former military base into an exclusive private playground for global elites, The eviction comes after four consecutive weeks of historic hundred-thousand-strong protests that completely shut down the capital city of Tirana, refusing to allow their native coastlines and ecologically sensitive wetlands to be privatized by foreign investors, the Albanian public unified under a single, unyielding demand: "Albania is not for sale, the courts faced with a historic political crisis, mounting domestic fury, and a widening anti-corruption investigation by special prosecutors (SPAK), the government was forced to pivot, by deploying state forces to reclaim Sazan lsland, Albania has sent a clear message to international billionaires and foreign developers trying to bypass environmental protection laws, This historic victory for citizen-led activism proves that the collective voice of a nation can successfully overpower backroom corporate deals and protect sovereign land.
Time for our lazy citizenry to get their asses on the streets in serious numbers. I’m talking 10+million. A couple of times, but definitely about two weekends – successive – before the midterms.

Now’s the time to prepare for a mighty favorable, yet pleasantly scathing, obituary notice.

The good thing about David’s plan is that it will also provide work for Americans during the post-Trump Even Greater Depression. Win-win!

Make no mistake: This was the first step in what will be a decades-long effort to strip Trump from American public life and repair the damage he has done. It will be slow, pain-staking, halting, and thankless work — and perhaps most frustratingly it will have to overcome the inertia of faux reconciliation and indifference.
I anticipate that, if we can get that far, we should also be prepared to deal with AfA: Alternative fur America.

There is but one way to begin repairing the damage La Mancha de Mierda Naranja and his minions have caused: massive public trials to hold them all accountable.
No BS like “look forward, not backward” or reconciliation committees or let 'em slide meet-ups — pure unadulterated accountability and severe punishment.* Not to mention the clawing back of all the ill-gotten lucre.

They saw it coming.™
*ETA There will be plenty of room for them all in the newly abandoned “migrant detention” centers AKA concentration camps.

So what Think Tank or arm of the D Org is going to put together a short and snappy speech, wishlist, chart that can be promulgated out to the masses and swell momentum for The Great Post Chump Renewal?
Won’t that really only be solidified, echoed, reinforced, and carried to the masses by our D 2026 campaigns? I have been talking about exactly this for over 1 year. That if we could only settle on a Less Than 10 Items hit list, and get all the candidates preaching it, we could really invigorate, inspire, energize a huge wave coast-to-coast. Yet with the election rocketing towards us…I haven’t heard any coherent or unified ANYTHING from the Dems. This isn’t that hard. Pick the attitude and angle of how to frame the campaign/assault…group-test and finalize the list…and start printing materials and ads.
We have the opposite. People sitting and spinning, no traction, no leadership, and people wondering where Schumer and Jeffries are and wtf they are doing, and saying we can’t have them leading us.
for starters:
Taxing Billionaires and review of all their Fed contracts
Single Payer Healthcare
Moratorium on all DataCenters
SC Reform
Mail in voting and fixing USPS back up
Gambling and crypto reform

I suspect this will be discussed a bit.
The consequences of the agreement are expected to feature prominently in discussions among world leaders during the three-day gathering. The accord between the United States and Iran is due to be signed in Switzerland on Friday.
