I hope someday Mount Rushmore is blown up and right down in front of the rubble, we put a little bronze statue of this guy. And please save any well actually sputtering for someone else.
He carries on.
Having To Do With My Big Mouth
Was our constitution really this fragile? Yes.
Why has it not collapsed before now then?
Because we used to have control over our own avarice. We fought to preserve its tenets.
No longer. We have become complacent, weak, and fearful.
The constitution hasn’t changed. We have. The institutions and
safeguards we created only worked when we weren’t so craven as
to allow criminals to subvert them.
Otherwise, Elon Musk would have been dragged out of the building in cuffs, and if he managed to survive the wrath of the people, he’d be the one in Guantanamo. Trump would be losing his 3rd impeachment battle and most importantly, the politicians who were supposed to be on the side of the people would be on busses back to their home states, their heads hung in shame.
I use the term Democrat only to indicate the group of current
politicians who are nominally opposed to the loss of
democracy.
Democrats, show us something. Anything.
Can you justify your continued participation in our government or are you going to give everything away to preserve your own status?
I do not give a damn about your political career. I am not interested in hearing about how you can’t make a difference if you are not in office.
This is the moment when you spend whatever political capital you have to fight for what is good and right. If you can’t do that, then stop pretending. We won’t be needing you going forward.
People on social media are encouraging each other to “fight back,” but I’m wondering if we’ve realized how much we’ve already lost. Protesting in the streets is going to require much more courage and risk than it did just a week ago.
Russell Vought. Remember that name. He is orchestrating the plan to allow the US Military to respond against protesters. Trump showed in his first administration that he thinks this is fine idea, and now he believes he has permission to do it.
Like any vermin, once they’re in, it’s hard to get them out.
Does Trump understand when he says individual states should provide their own disaster relief and he’s going to shut down FEMA, that red states have no hope of being able to afford that? They can’t even afford to maintain the infrastructure they have now.
