Heading back home after a Labor Day escape? This thought-provoking podcast could be good company on the road…🤓
He’s the best.
Looks like he came up from Hugh Grant's basement in The Heretic.

Instead of Swan Lake, what will they run on Fox News? A Celebrity Apprentice marathon? YMCA on a loop? The peepee tape?
Lol
I love it!
Ha!
When Vance takes over will they have to move all the couches out of the Oval Office?
Join me tomorrow from 10-2 ET for THE PREVAIL 850 SPECIAL livestream event!
That blew my mind!
"A pejorative term was coined for the scofflaws who did this: 'Sooners.' What that means is that the team name of the University of Oklahoma derives from a nineteenth-century word for a real estate cheat who ignores federal law."
Honestly he looked so deathly I didn’t think it could be an old video. I am going to run outside and dance in the street.
Perfect, no notes.
Schrodinger's POTUS is so accurate as all fuck in this current hellscape timeline.
Update: not fake Donald but Donald from 2023. Sorry, my bad. He still looks like shit.
It’s amazing it’s that old; he looks awful.
If this isn’t Fake Donald, he looks like absolute dogshit. x.com/astronomiaum...

Listen to @gregolear.bsky.social !! Trump is a danger to us all.
Reminder: There’s no new show tonight BUT we are replaying the episode from last month with the great @jennifertaub.com, so there WILL be a place to hang. Thanks!
A sobering but necessary litany of the damage this administration's villains have done and continue to do.
❤️🙏
People have no fucking idea what's actually happening. None at all. That's what I'm seeing.
Thank you.
Always the best. @gregolear.bsky.social substack.com/@gregolear/n...
Thank you! They’re fun to do.
"The job of the president—the primary job of the president—is to protect us and keep us safe from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And Trump has done the opposite. He’s done the opposite. He has kept us in danger. And he’s helped our greatest adversary, Vladimir Putin."
🙏🏻❤️
I'd rather be dead than have to live on a planet with only Thiel, Musk, Yarvin, etc.
This preventable tragedy brought to you by Trump & Musk.
FOUR LEGS GOOD! TWO LEGS BAD! 🙃
Regrettably, brain worms are not fatal. But the pig-ignorance of the HHS Secretary is going to kill millions of people before this is all over. And that's the best-case scenario. www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-...
As well as every senator who voted to confirm him.
Trump is owned by the Kremlin. As some of us have been trying to tell you for nine fucking years. Putin says jump, and he jumps as high as he can on those swollen ankles. h/t @5gw.bsky.social
Although I hate having this asshole’s face on my feed,Olear hits it out of the park (again) for the umpteenth time since Dirty Rubles.
Agreed. Also, having them very visibly doing make-work makes it clear there's nothing else there for them to do, thus lowkey defying Trump.
No. And I eat this for breakfast almost every day, for the last 20 years.
Just chipped my front tooth eating a piece of toast. How's your day going? (Since when did Ezekiel bread contain gravel?)
Buy Defying Hitler and read it It’s super important and as Mr Olear says not unhopeful Also please read the excellent post from @gregolear.bsky.social
If you don’t know what it means, you didn’t read the piece.
Lessons from 1933 Germany open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...
Back from my hiatus with an 8,000 word piece, Part Two of my two-part series on what we can learn from 1933 Germany:
Almost time...
Here we are. It's grim, but I will laugh at him every single day I am drawing breath. Seriously. Chaplin mocked Hitler with "The Great Dictator" film. So, @gregolear.bsky.social and I will be breaking Trump down as the Dumb Dictator. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3glY...
Excited to hang out with the great @jennifertaub.com tomorrow morning…tune in if you’re so inclined… www.youtube.com/live/3glYIF8...
I can't even. Just fire everyone and start over.
One commonality among all Dictators. Hitler, Mussolini, Castro and Trump. They always seize the Capitol city in order to utilize armed troops to force their will in the seat of power Trump now had armed troops ready to take over Congress and SCOTUS if they defy him Dark times are here #ProudBlue
Tomorrow, on Ukraine's Independence Day, Kherson: Human Safari @KhersonHS2025 will be premiering in: France, Grenoble (see below), with Mriya Ukraine Grenoble and New York, with the Ukrainian Institute of America, along with other great films: ukrainianinstitute.org/event/open-h...
Flat it is! But I think it looks very different now.
Click the link. 😊
Thanks to everyone who watched the show! My backdrop looks cooler after dark... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOyl...
"The president was never inappropriate with anybody in the times that I was with him," claims perjuring felon who thinks child rape is appropriate.

Two big shareholders of Trump’s media company have thoughts on justice.
Mind blown. Seriously. Do not miss this interview with @lincolnsbible.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/LERfocg...
Stephanie Koff and Greg Olear LIVE tonight 8e/5p 🎱 Notifications set! ✅ @lincolnsbible.bsky.social @gregolear.bsky.social youtube.com/live/yOyl6XQ...
December 2023. Sigh. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...
a guy in a parking lot saying "eat this in remembrance of me" doesn't make him christ, byron
I thought Mortgage Fraud was the nightclub Igor Fruman owned.
Goodbye BlueSky? 🙃
Their stupidity goes to eleven…
I see a useless wall, I want it painted black.
Negotiating with Putin is a waste of time. He doesn't honor the agreements that already exist. Why should we expect him to honor this one?
This leathery ghoul won't rest until he harms as many people as possible. The main difference between RFK Jr. and the zombies from SINNERS is that the zombies from SINNERS had lovely voices.
This hotel has it all…and right on my floor.
They are actually saying fuck you fuck you fuck you
I have taken to taking pictures of passages I liked and I had to stop because it’s basically the whole book.
This is an amazing read!
The traitors are easy to spot.
That’s what the Nazi soldiers did when they first got to Paris.
Shit, they’re right across the hall from my hotel room!
This is the way.
Wonderful @gregolear.bsky.social piece on Trump's obsession with awards. "Colossal Wreck," indeed. Love that last (presumed) Luis Buñuel quote - whether he said it or not, it certainly tracks. gregolear.substack.com/p/ramble-on-...
Sometimes the jokes write themselves 🙃
Perfect analogy.
To put things in perspective, here's how much Ukrainian land is currently occupied by Russia, with that area dropped on a US map. The rapist trump may well be happy to let the Russians keep it. #USA #Ukraine

But that would be against the law! Lol no one cares

Secretary Foam Party says what?
Couldn’t tell who it belonged to. Black. No visible marks.
I would say he can’t legally do that but Roberts and Alito will probably let him…but no more trips there for Strip Search Sammy.
What’s Slovenian for “ChatGPT”?
I’m not there anymore so I got nothing. Weird, though. The cab driver even pointed it out as unusual.
Red hat, orange face, white flag. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...
Twenty minutes in same spot?
Ha!
Too dumb to even mock…
Helicopter hovering over Long Island City. Been there a while.
It should have been accompanied by mass NATO military operation to drive them out of Ukraine. West is always reactive with Moscow. We need to assert ourselves.
