Aw, Biden didn't get sworn in until January 20, 2021. The Convicted FElon was still president on January 6, 2021. So the FBI was his!

Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com · 20h

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Ronald Reagan opened the door for people like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg & others to become billionaires. Now this regime is making it possible for them to become trillionaires.

The Fascist Party knows they are royalty screwing up & Americans are getting tired of the BS. Russell Vought who helped push Project 2025 stated that the revolution will be bloody if people push against it. He is one who is now firing all federal workers of "democratic agencies".

Thinking this morning that maybe it's a good sign that top Repubs like Little Mikey J are spreading lies about the October 18 No Kings protests. They didn't say a a word about the June 14th protests, despite their being widely announced in advance.

Do we have them quaking in their boots?

I guess Fox propaganda News wouldn't be reported on it because it looks like it was black on black shooting. White Supremacy doesn't care about that type of violence.

From Farron Balanced: Hegseth used Signal once again to communicate that the regime is planning to use the 82nd Airborne Division in Portland, Oregon to wipe out Antifa.
We are getting very close to an all out war in this country. I have a feeling they may use military force on the 18th, No King day

The military must obey their OATH to the Constitution. No if and or but about it.

Rachel Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com · 4d

“America’s senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.”

Shakespeare was a prescient genius. Quoth he:

"Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the frogs of war"

Mark Antony in Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar.

And this is where we are now!

Christian Nationalists & MAGA who celebrated ICE brutal attacks on Immigrants & American citizens must never read this in the Bible.

That the population of the USA. Babies & children can't protest. People are protesting & there are more than before. Yes there needs to be more.
Plus, remember 77 million supported the fascists. That number has dropped, I still believe there are still 70 million who support the regime.

The Fascist Party is now going after the No King Protest for October 18th. They said that the protest will be nothing but paid terrorists who HATE AMERICA. There needs to be National Guards to stop these thugs who hate this country. This is from MSNBC.

I'm a veteran. I know. The veterans who haven't been brainwashed, by Fox propaganda News, know that the country is being destroyed within, by this regime & not by Antifa.

Unfortunately, we can't get away from them completely until we overthrow this regime. Then we get laws passed to break them up & make them pay their taxes.

From Brian Taylor Cohen: The Convicted FElon & Hegseth are allowing the Qatari government to build a military base in Idaho, USA.

So Project 2025 dictates that the regime will ignore the courts because they have no way to enforce their ruling because of the presidential power granted by SCOTUS.
