I draw the line at being told how to think. I guess I'm a radical left lunatic.

Spread democracy at the point of a gun?

Forced democracy is not democracy; it's extortion.

But what should one expect from a wannabe mob boss?

Trump: The job of the U.S. Armed forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, but to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun…

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

📌During his campaign in 2015, Trump said he would replace Obamacare with, quote: "something terrific, phenomenal and fantastic" that would "save money and result in better health care."
Ten years later, he's still got nuthin' and has decided to kill the entire United States government instead.

JEFFRIES: No

TUR: Why not?

JEFFRIES: Donald Trump has not given him permission to meet, Katy and we know that until Donald Trump gives them permission to meet, they're going to continue to hide.

By the time you get to the point where the Transportation Secretary is complaining about political protests, you know the administration is truly scared of the public backlash.

Donald Trump doesn't care if it's illegal. He thinks he's above the law and so far this nation has done little to successfully disabuse him of that conclusion.

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Spiro’s Ghost @antitoxicpeople.bsky.social · 5d

At this exact hour 52 years ago today, 10/10/1973, Spiro Agnew resigned as Vice Pres. & immediately pled guilty to felony tax evasion, avoiding dozens of other counts of extortion & bribery.

He accepted $150,000 in payoffs, far, far less than how much Trump grifts *every single hour of every day*.

This isn't just cruel to these dedicated public servants — it also harms the millions of Americans who will lose the vital services they provide.

Trump's been illegally withholding funds and slashing services since Day 1 — and is on even shakier legal ground now.

Back to court.

Key thing here is the idea that Stephen Miller and others are absolutely thrilled that Trump has lost a step, since it makes him easier to manipulate:

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.
