And convincing this GOP majority—-I guess indiscriminately ordering the executions of the untried is not it?

I’ve forgotten. What is it the President needs to do while in office to get impeached?

I never have. The whole “fan” thing—war metaphors—win/lose do or die— the caring about the final outcome.
I understand life, and entertainment that supposedly mirrors life, more in shades and degrees, I guess.
But I love some people who love sports. So go team.

Every weekday on Broadway, undocumented immigrants line up to enter 26 Federal Plaza. They enter harshly lit hallways where ICE agents mill around — waiting to take people away. For our cover story, Stephanie Keith captures the anguished scenes of arrest in downtown Manhattan. buff.ly/N6JNPUP.

Her face. Bears the despair of this moment, and the truth of this governments inhumanity, like nothing I’ve seen.

Actually, I could see it being turned into a living Civil and Constitutional Rights museum, with regular performances and lectures about the rise of authoritarianism, toxic religiosity, mis-and dis-information, and…..
I like the idea of turning Trump greed and hate into a force for good.

Sorry. No Kings protestors can’t own this one.

These crowds of protestors are about the least naive people in the country.
They are seeing the reality of this President and this dangerous time in history and calling it exactly what it is.

That it’s still worth it to do this is the hope part. Patriots without the pretense.

Yes, it’s an assertion of power.
It’s also a demonstration of how power corrupts morality.

I'm sure the president, famously known for his obsession with crowd sizes, will be fuming about the turnout of this year's #NoKings.

Here's what "No Kings" Looked Like Across the World

It certainly wasn't a "Hate America Rally."

People have already died as a result of Russell Vought's decisions and obscene racism and inhumanity. Trump is to stupid to figure these cruel plans out. That's what he has Vought, Miller, Bannon, Noem, Homan, Rubio, RFK Jr., Gabbard and Hogseth for. Gonna take some time to prosecute all of them.

Nest brilliant response from the Trump-trained will be sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting,
“Nah,nah,nah. I can’t hear you.”
