Well I'll be. I just read about what the Federalist Society stands for, and it looks like Lenny rewrote the whole freakin' thing!!

What a joke!

We must dismantle and destroy the super mega-conservative machine. What we're experiencing right now isn't by accident. This has been thought out for decades by people with ill intentions and evil minds. These types do not care for the rule of law. They pretend that they do until they get into power then show everyone otherwise. We need to talk about this more often. I understand that folks want to keep harping on Krasnov mango Mussolini. And we should. Because he's a very bad individual. He's a malignant, narcissistic sociopathic psychopath. For him everything is transactional. He wants to be known and have the power that comes with that. But we also have to take a closer look at the players in the background using the orange menace as their useful idiot puppet. These evildoers like Leonard Leo, Peter Thiel, Elonia Musk, Kevin Richardson ( if I got his last name correct) Russell Vought, and Stephen Miller. Et al. And the GOP regime. These are the people who are stripping and destroying everything in the name of hate/ racism and the love of money. They have to privatize everything in order to hold all power. This is why we must go straight to the source of the problem to eliminate it.

You said it exactly. He’s their useful idiot. But those shadow players are the real architects of the chaos. They want to bring us back to the 1780s or even earlier when rich white men controlled everything. And we, quite simply, are not going back. The future is supposed to progress. Sorry, boys. Be less mediocre.

Yep. They want to be the top dogs. But we must preserve. No matter what. We can not let these take over. This is why we need to keep protesting and being very loud and show them our anger. No violence of course. But show in great numbers. In the millions. To show them we haven't forgotten the bullshit they're putting the American people through. They must pay for what they've done.

Leonard Leo will eventually be investigated once the worm turns. The Opus Dei MF that he is.

Thank you for reminding us of the biggest threat to America.

The story of Leonard Leo is a stark illustration of how actions behind the scenes can remake a democracy. Concentrating power away from public scrutiny and into the hands of a few challenges the very transparency and accountability that democracy thrives on.

Finally, a comprehensive look at Leonard Leo. It is exactly this kind of reporting that should have been in the NYT and WaPo years ago. Leo was my boss 2009-2012. I tried to warn.

MAGA devotees who believe in a deep state that controls everything need look no further than the machinery of their own party.

Hi Marie, I admire your efforts to educate people and show the big picture. Even though I live in Europe, I find this very interesting because similar things can happen here and in some cases are already starting to happen. Thank you very much

Ms Riverton - Just read this for the third time. Blown away. I’ve posted to all my social media and sent a link to every reporter on my Leo list. I’m giddy to find someone who actually gets Leonard Leo. My bluesky is @thcarter123 DMs open. Here is link to my Mediums on Leonard Leo. Hope I’m not breaking substack comment rules, but I couldn’t find contact info. Hoping you will contact me. Cheers, Tom Carter

When this is all said and done, these men need to be rooted out and dealt with.
