If I were ever elected president, the first thing I’d do is take a sledgehammer to that ballroom.

Trump is destroying the White House and the US. From symbolism to literalism.

This is an ongoing thread I will be updating to post examples of violent rhetoric from prominent Republicans and media personalities. It's going to include a lot of material, so please send examples.

Donald Trump uses the most violent speech, but he's far from alone.

I'm old enough to remember when David Broder said of Bill Clinton, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Every day, in ways both literal and figurative, we now can see what trashing the place truly means. wapo.st/4hqBNiU

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

The Supreme Court will rehear a case on Wednesday that could strike a death blow to the Voting Rights Act and, in the process, virtually guarantee that Republicans hang on to power for the foreseeable future. “It’s enough to cement one-party control of the US House for at least a generation.”
SCOTUS Case Could Destroy Voting Rights Act and Cement GOP Control of House
If Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is dismantled, the impact will reshape political power across the US, experts say.

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

Trump is attempting to stoke outrage and chaos in the streets to justify an authoritarian crackdown — but it’s not working. Instead, giant frogs have become a symbol of resistance. At “No Kings” protests, expect to see more creativity that make Trump’s claims about “antifa terrorists” look silly.

Republicans are already smearing the protesters, but their intimidation tactics are out of touch with reality.

Imagine being such a high-strung weak-kneed coward that an ambulance being put into park sends you into a frothing murderous rage, where are they even finding these freakshows
ICE agents blocked an ambulance that was trying to take an injured protester to hospital.

"We are still not being allowed to leave by ICE officers.” an EMT said on radio

When driver tried to get out, an agent yelled, "DON’T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I WILL SHOOT YOU"

Because if he did this, he'd have to swear in the new house member-which would initiate the release of the Epstein files.

Think about that while you are waiting out the shutdown.

There are over 2,200 peaceful protests planned for October 18. Ensuring all of those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they need is a massive undertaking. Please pitch in if you can to help make No Kings Day historic!
