The Heritage Foundation are the ones running the country and telling Trump what to do so you have another layer to fight through. Any suggestions?

Get everyone to DC and shut this shitcircus down. 10 million people, let’s go

Leah Baum's avatar

The final count of protesters was 12 million. The 7 million count came from an online questionnaire asking if you plan to join the protests. Since 12 million is a lot of humans let’s all gather in Washington DC and storm our house and drag all the Nazis out including the Alzheimer’s patient. Like you said we need to stop this 💩circus.

Republicans in office could dig up their consciences, from wherever they've buried them, and do their job as they swore to do under the oath of office, they willingly took. Mine won't. He defends himself by saying, "I didn't vote to shut down the government, but the Democrats keep playing games with people's livelihoods."

But, he's just one congresscon - maybe there's hope for others?

Geri Cochran's avatar

These men and women have embraced magas, either through their desire for greed, or through fear of what the felon will do to them. Though they claim to be Christians, they have traded their Lord for their felon. They have chosen to keep their jobs and perks regardless of how many of their constituents die from hunger, and regardless of the dangers they are promoting for all of your progeny. They are the worst cowards because they think only of themselves, they lie to their constituents and are a traitor to their own people. AND those that follow them are just as bad, imo.

If they haven't changed by now, they won't...unless something serious affects them or their family - like it did to Marji Green.

Geri Cochran's avatar

Mainstream media sucked his toes, so they don't cover the democrats nearly as much as they cover his magas. Bernie Sanders and some progressive democrats are doing more - as Sanders is bringing in thousands of people to his speeches...but Jeffries just recently endorsed Mamdani; and I think Schumer still refuses to endorse any progressive or democratic socialist. Democrats seem to hate progressive ideas almost as much as Magas do, unfortunately. I hope Democrats pay attention to what WE THE PEOPLE want. But I'm certainly not confident that we'll even have a democratic republic again.

Can’t do it until we have the numbers. Not so much the House but the Senate. In order to impeach you need a simple majority in the House. In the Senate, where you convict, we need a 2/3 Yes vote which is 67 Senators.

We have 47 Democratic Senators now. To convict we’d need 20 Republican Senators to vote Yes to Convict.

Do you in anyway see that happening now?

It appears he has spinal stenosis, which would account for his lower extremity symptoms and possibly incontinence, awkward gait. Its likely advanced stenosis, which is likely why they did the repeat MRI (brain too). They’re just jacking everybody around they know it, we know it.. then there are would appear to be signs and possibly symptoms of transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes. Of course, neither of these would count for his lower extremity peripheral vascular disease that’s another thing entirely. Whatever you see on the outside it’s a whole lot worse on the inside. It’s like his internal rot parallels or collides with his dementia.

Lower extremity peripheral vascular disease, they'd do an Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) test is a simple, non-invasive procedure that compares the blood pressure in ankles to the blood pressure in the arms to check for peripheral artery disease. Also a doppler on his foot and ankle.

If he has transient ischemic attacks or mini strokes, i.e."Jacksonian seizures." computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain.

Some of the symptoms: gait issues; balance issues (falling up steps); dementia symptoms & hallucinations can also be suggestive of other disorders. Either Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) OR Parkinson's Disease (PD) OR both . A brain MRI plus other diagnostic tests to confirm NPH (a lumbar puncture) or DAT (for PD), which is an all-day procedure involving several brain scans before & after injection of a radioactive isotope.

My spouse has both NPH and PD and the symptoms noted. Without brain surgery (insertion of a shunt to drain excess cerebral-spinal fluid from the brain's ventricles), more and more brain damage is done over time.

Hacked elections and no investigations. republicans and their "cyber ninjas" had access to ballots and took an entire summer to "investigate" 2020 election, even though 60+ judges found that it was legitimate. They still persist in saying it was "stolen". Now, even when tRUMP brags that Elon's "tech talent" gave him Pennsylvania, nobody can respond by insisting on an investigation. requests made by representatives are denied.

Cheeto And His Billionaire Allies Attack America’s Welfare State

Investing in people with less financial means pays off in higher graduation rates for kids, higher rates of moving onto higher education, less crime, and more stable communities And like it or not, America has provided for those with less means for almost a century since the Great Depression As troubling as it is, there is a definite possibility in food insecurity in this country

So Cheeto and his Nazi allies/billionaire buddies have decided that the time is up for all these welfare recipients because the Nazi party has decided that they’re tired of this “gimme” welfare state And just like the ACA(Obamacare) fiasco, the Nazis wanted to get rid of the ACA but had no plan with which to replace it, the Nazis want to destroy the welfare safety net and food security for those less fortunate because those “takers” don’t deserve it and don’t know how to replace with another plan

This Nazi approach toward the welfare state mirrors the cruelty toward the immigrant population as demonstrated by ICE but this time the cruelty is lodged toward the less fortunate of our society So yes the Nazi party is cruel and insensitive to the needs of those who need our help The Cheeto’s, Stephen Miller’s and Nazis of the world do not deserve our vote Get rid of all of them!!

Self checkout is fine, but I have no confidence in myself to remember what the shelf price claimed when I get to the checkout. I prefer the system that Sam's Club had when I was a member, where you scan the item with your phone at the time you add it to the cart. That way you know if the prices match. I also liked swiping to pay when I was done and not going through checkout. What I didn't like was forgetting my bags/organizer to put stuff in.

*RESISTANCE UNITED*

THE FIGHT TO SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT OVER! IMPERATIVE NEXT STEPS!!!

No Kings Day was a spectacular display of Solidarity! Great to see the resistance growing but the fight to save our democracy is far from over. The Resistance Must Unite!

We are struggling to meet our goal to bring down the tRump. All of our resistance efforts have failed. Seven million just isn't enough! We only need a mere 3.5% or 11 million American citizens exhibiting ongoing daily SUSTAINED resistance to meet this goal. Going to a protest every few months is not going to accomplish anything! We must choose to do something every day to show that we want our democracy back. Resistance United gives everyone opportunities and options to build and support the new Civil Rights Movement daily!

STEP 1) Spread the Word - Warn everyone about the evil coming out of the White House.

There is no movement without Calls for Action! We must become vigilant about Spreading the Word. Share your own stories about how the tRump's brutal cuts effect you. Read and share the links throughout this article. Make them go viral! They give you something to talk about and explain why everyone should be supporting this New Civil Rights Movement.

Senator Sanders talks about the disparities between the MAGA rich and the average American. The numbers are outrageous! The billionaire oligarchs must pay their employees fair wages and pay the same taxes we do!

https://youtu.be/ewpGDPft7Mo?si=e1Gmre_zW1P-J3pK

THE LYING KING

The tRump is hurting Democrats and Republicans a like - they just don't know it yet. An overview of the hate the tRump has unleashed in America.

https://onemommy.substack.com/p/maga-should-know-the-truth-about?r=113nff

STEP 2) STOP SHOPPING and spending money unnecessarily! Quit making the billionaire oligarchs richer! They are the true rulers of this country. They control how the government is run. They underpay their workers and hog all the wealth for themselves! We must demand better wages and the end of the administration from hell!!! Boycott billionaire chain businesses and they themselves will call for the tRump's resignation!

We can't do everything, so we're giving you options. Use the lists below to find ways to resist everyday. If you can, support these economic resistance movements:

BOYCOTT XMAS Economic Slow Down:

https://onemommy.substack.com/p/boycott-xmas-to-save-the-usa?r=113nff

BLACKOUT THE SYSTEM:

https://onemommy.substack.com/p/blackout-the-system-second-wave?r=113nff

STEP 3) OCCUPY DC to continue to show the world that the American Stands United!

OCCUPY DC is a sustained occupation of the nation’s capital. The vision is to bring millions of people to DC to “surround the White House; surround the Capitol; and surround the Supreme Court” everyday, in a sustained, non-violent way, beginning Nov 5, and lasting until the Trump regime falls. This IS NOT a one day march or rally.

More information about OCCUPY DC Mass Movement: https://onemommy.substack.com/p/occupy-dc-mass-movement-starting?r=113nff

PROTESTS show the world we're willing to stand up for our civil rights! Many communities have weekly protest that are just as important as our mass protests. Find a chapter near you.

SLOWING DOWN THE ECONOMY is a safe and powerful way to resist for those can't risk their jobs or are afraid to attend a protest.

OCCUPING DC is for our brave civilian heroes and peaceful warriors willing to go all out to save our democracy!

There are more options below. Which option is best for you?

These vital next steps are the most powerful ways to support the Anti-tRump / Fight the Oligarchs Resistance Movements:

Dear Ben,

I wrote to you (and several Attorneys General) yesterday regarding the need for urgent, comprehensive Legislation to hold accountable ANY Federal “agent” who violates ANY aspect of due process including threatening to detain or detaining ANY person without a valid arrest warrant.

ALL such “Agents” must NOT wear masks and must show their identity and their Official Badge.

In the videos, the “Agents” should have already been ARRESTED & CHARGED & JAILED pending trial for their numerous, violent, unwarranted actions.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmMyfbWu_g8

I defined “Agent” as ALL Federal and Federalized State & Local personnel.

Attorneys General to whom the request for urgent legislation (to the extent not already covered by State Law) - AG Dana Nessel, AG Nick Brown, AG Rob Bonta, AG Kwame Raoul & AG Letitia James.
