In Albany Park, they fired pepper-spray balls to disperse an angry crowd and arrested two U.S. citizens. In Evanston, one repeatedly pointed his weapon at protesters while another knelt on a man’s back and punched him in the head.

The Spinelessness of Thune and Johnson Is Destroying American Democracy | Common Dreams

You are destroying the Constitution by dismantling the separation of powers in favor of limitless presidential authority indistinguishable from monarchy or Der Fuhrer.

Anyone who thinks otherwise, needs a padded room of their own.

That was my hope several months ago.
But I didn't realize how many of these idiots are out there to replace the last one.
Of course none of them know how to actually run a government, so I'm still hopeful for self implosion

After whatever happened in Butler, PA, when Trump got to the hospital, the first thing he said to aides was, "How is it playing? How does it look on TV?"

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?

In 1941, thinking about acquiescence to Hitler, FDR quoted Ben Franklin: “Those, who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” It’s a message for the billionaires & others capitulating to Trump.
