Learned enough history to recognize that US democracy is at risk. Learned enough law to see that the complicity of members of one political party is the root cause. Maryland USA

You did read my initial post particularly carefully. So, we don't need to go back and forth. Good bye.

🚨About 2 hours ago in Chicago. You see peaceful protestors across the street from armed, angry, geared up Trump enforcers. He wants violence. He is getting none of it. ✊🏼 Power to the People ✊🏼

While there's some truth to this, he's making pronouncements, not just about anticipated prosecutions (which anyone can see coming), but likely convictions, which he knows nothing about. He's turned around (from his enforcer past), but he doesn't deserve a public forum. Sorry.

I hope reporters will ask all the Republicans in Congress for comment here.

Be sure to have them take the ball gags out of their mouths first.

Per WSJ, the Trump regime and Bannon are bragging they’re “ruling Congress with an iron fist” and that it is “largely ceremonial” like the Russian Duma.

Shameful. Not what the founders intended. 🇺🇸 @MarshaBlackburn @RepTimBurchett @AndyOgles

Only partially correct! There are plenty of Evangelicals just like Trump. Their mantra is that you can lie, cheat and steal all day long and then ask for forgiveness at night so you can wake up and do it again.

When you block traffic, as the Stones once said, "you got to move!" Learned it a long time ago.

Hey, @theweekendprime.bsky.social, why are we listening to Michael Cohen? He's a lawyer in name only and doesn't know anything beyond speculation about the underlying facts.

Speaking of scams, is there anything that Trump babbles that isn't an overt step in a fraud?

Anyone else struggling with the choirs of semi-retirement?

Keep in mind, there was plenty of turmoil to endure, especially the entire year, 1968.

Hey, @@washingtonpost.com, your article doesn't seem address who's the winner in Trump's quest to send us backwards in energy 100 years:
His Middle Eastern benefactors: Qatar, UAE, and of course MbS.

With Ray and Otis, it was a great time to become immersed in music and then appreciate its evolution into the heartbeat of the late 60s into early 70s anthems.

Did you see how fat the Texas guard troops were? They aren't ready to... run away from the sound of gunfire.

Only ones I have now. Look at all familiar?

Hey, @washingtonpost.com, does this mean the rest of the Arab states essentially paid Hamas to keep the Palestinians quiet and when that tactic failed, they helped the Israelis kill them?

Tish James let a family member live in her second home and charged nothing. Trump let's the Qataris live in an airbase and charged them a 757... with a few options installed.

They are serving the American people... on a platter to whoever will pay.

Well, it makes sense. Kinda seems like Kavanaugh was thinking of his alleged brief encounter with Christine B. Ford.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
