If a Democrat were in office, you liberals would be supporting this as every one of you are ignorant and propagandized hypocrites who love every atrocity here and abroad when a Democrat is the one selling it to you.

We need to pass more laws to protect us from our own president and congress.

TriTorch's avatar

No, we need to take back what is ours. You can no more spend your way out of debt, than can you legislate your way out of tyranny:

Here's the basic premise in the founding of the Enlightenment Model of the US: Rights were given to you by your Creator, not by your government. Your government didn't give them to you so, they can't take them away. Furthermore the 9th Amendment to the Constitution makes these guarantees explicit. If any person in the government tries to take them away anyway, despite lacking any authority to do so, they are traitors to the citizens and must be treated as such.

A common misconception regarding the US government is that it is not the case that they start with total power and authority and the Constitution then subtracts from those powers. Under the Constitutional Principle of Enumerated Powers and despite common wisdom, the government actually starts with zero power. Powers are then granted (Enumerated) by the Constitution. This means that our Natural Rights such as the right to Privacy or the right to Free Speech do not need to be explicitly granted to the populace - we have them by default. (The Bill of Rights, while unnecessary, is a constant reminder of these exquisite qualities as well as an invaluable educational tool.) What it does mean is that the government cannot violate those rights unless the ability to do so is explicitly granted by the Constitution - which in those cases it is not.

That is all there is to it: two short paragraphs—We hold all of the cards, they serve at our indulgence. Any power or action not explicitly granted by, We The People, the government cannot legitimately wield or execute. When they do so anyway, it is our civic duty to evict and convict them.

Marguerite Kelly's avatar

So, how do you propose we do this? A year of this tyranny and not one person has attempted to remove him and this administration.

Sandra Blessman's avatar

The democrats don’t hold the majority of the house or congress at the moment so unless they can get the republicans to shift over to their side there is not much they can do. But they are working behind the scenes. Back them up.

Carol-Ann Dearnaley's avatar

Thank you. I am so sick and tired of the weak kneed whiners acting as if the Democrats have any power at all while Jellyfish Johnson is still holding the majority and able to call all shots.

The Democrats, yes, the Democrats forced the passing of the Epstein file legislation.

Remember the files? Don't ever, ever forget it. (This is not directed at you, Sandra, just an response to your excellent comment.)

TriTorch's avatar

First get local control, get self-dependent (unhook your town from federal dollars which are a control mechanism), then override their federal mandates which are tied to these grants, and you take the country back in a groundswell. We can do this, the Founding Fathers show us the way. Here is how: https://tritorch.substack.com/p/apathy-is-the-fire-in-which-we-burn-v3

There is a reason why the love of money is considered to be the root of all evil and it’s not just what people are willing to do to for it, but also the control it grants to the person giving it over the person getting it.

Washington, for example, controls the states by granting them money on a rolling basis, and once they are hooked they threaten to take it away if the states do not do what Washington tells them to do. So they do it.

The solution is to get local, get self-dependent, get the common unity back in community by building webs of resilience with your neighbors, get control of your school boards, mayors office, and town councils, get to know your sheriff, get a garden in your lawn no matter how small, a single tomato plant is better than nothing, get a well (water is your most important resource hands down), get ready, get moving, get doing, and, if so inclined, get God

Jesus Christ addressed this: “Render unto Caeser, the things that are Caeser’s. Render unto God, the things that are God’s.” Basically, as I understand this quote, you don’t ask God to help you with the government that has been formed by the modern day version of Caeser. Mankind is on its own, when dealing with the government of man.

MARGIE's avatar

And what is the death count now as a result of the “law enforcement action” tRump ordered in order to abduct Meduro? Last I heard it was 80. I call BS! How does this type of action encourage peace in the world? tRump has no interest in keeping peace as much as he drools over the desire for a Peace medal.

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

The power ALWAYS belongs to the people. It is simply a matter of them realizing it, and being bothered enough to take steps.

Carol-Ann Dearnaley's avatar

Where have you been for the last 9 months? The people are taking steps - No Kings demos, elections that have changed state majorities, 2 governers now firmly in the Democrat's camp - one was a party switch; state legislative bodies that had been super MAGA majorities aren't any more. Yes the people are taking steps.

The people are doing their part.....and of course you are cheering them on, right?

Douglas Gilligan's avatar

Yes of course. Been there. Just saying, at it's essential core, democracy, when the people consider the elections valid, is simply a way to hold regularly scheduled bloodless civil wars. Much better than the alternative. But when the system is not working as it was intended, with the guard rails removed or ignored, and impeachment has become a purely political power play, the power ultimately always belongs to the people.

Demonstrations are wonderful. They send a message and help others realize they are not alone. It is PR that is much harder to shut up even when the press ignores it. it can be an essential tool to communicate to people what is happening, to wake them up, so that the people can take their power back.

Nigel B's avatar

Sadly it's not just the rulers. It's the sins of the father its racism, poverty, homelessness, endless wars and regime change, mass shootings, political violence, executions of prisoners, outrageous misuse of resources, all under the banner of American exceptionalism. What's exceptional is just how easy it was for Trump to take over though his first term had shown who he was. So it's not just Trump it's the tens of millions who voted for him knowing he was a deeply evil man. So yes there is a reckoning coming but let's not pretend it's just Trump when he's gone the evil will still stalk the land.

🚨🕯️ “The Live-TV Flood (and the Lanterns That Don’t Get Played)” — 1/5/2026

It’s January Fifth, and the signal is loud—

A siren of shouting that gathers a crowd. 🚨

On screens comes a segment with heat in its tone,

“MINNESOTA! WALZ!” like a chew-toy bone—

They toss around “FRAUD!” with a headline-ish shove,

While facts get buried under noise from above. 

Now yes—when there’s fraud, you investigate straight. ✅

You follow the evidence. You don’t “speculate.”

But some folks don’t want a clean, careful report—

They want a villain for ratings and sport. 

And right in that chaos—like clockwork, like clock—

A darker “shock-story” comes thumping and talk:

A viral clip shared with a wink and a grin,

Pushing a false tale to pull Walz in. 

It drags in the Hortman tragedy—grief turned to bait,

As if pain were a prop for a click-driven hate.

But family and leaders said, “This is depraved—

Remove it. Stop it. Let truth be saved.” 

See, this is the method—old grifter distraction:

A pop-up weasel that steals your reaction!

BONK! goes your focus—then off to the race,

While real work gets lost in a rage-bait chase. 🎯

Flood the whole feed with divisive attack—

So neighbors get split and can’t find their way back.

TV + social, a double-time spin,

Trying to “win” by exhausting the room we’re in.

But HERE come the Lanterns—our brigade in the fray:

We answer in real time the truth-forward way. 🕯️🔎

Quick and calm—no rumor relay—

We check, we cite, we don’t get played.

We protect grieving families from click-hungry blame,

We protect the public square from a smear-game flame,

We guard the truth line—steady and bright,

Because democracy needs daylight, not night. 🇺🇸✨

So when shock tries to shove us, we stay on our track—

Slow and steady, truth-loud—we bring focus back. 🐢🏁📣🇺🇸🤝🕯️🌱

Merely removing him doesn’t fix the problems with an entire fascist regime. It ALL needs to stop.

Mystic Medium Sarah Marie's avatar

Well They are quite obviously traitors so if we approach it from that standpoint I do believe it’s the one way to take them all out, they are complicit so they are gone. I think that’s the only way to clean the slate. We all know, I’m sure he wants to create- War crisis here 🇺🇸 like Ukraine so he doesn’t have to hold the election, I’m sure more than Oil that’s part , a big part of his plan. It’s hard to stay ahead of his crazy thinking. I do my best- but if he succeeds then he cancels the election. He’s doing everything he can to hold on to what he knows is slipping away- his brain is gone- he has less loyalists and he’s panicked….Bye Bye Bye

JA's avatar

To state the obvious, canceling or even postponing an election isn’t within his power, it’s set in stone in the Constitution, but we know he doesn’t care about legality or the Constitution. I hate that I feel this way or have to utter these words, but I think force is the only way to end this once and for all. No matter what we’ve done, what the courts have done, he continues to escalate the power (he doesn’t have) and the violence. And our military obeyed illegal orders to bomb a sovereign nation and kidnap the leader, out of greed for oil. Why are we going to sit around to watch what he does next? And at what point does that violence turn to Americans? Could be next year, could be at the next mass protest. I don’t think that’s something we should wait for.

The complete isolation of the US is complete. No one stands with the US anymore. It took less than one year Trump and he s band of incompetent to destroy the United States. Hand Russia and China, and for that matter any other bad actors any excuse they choose to do the same. And they likely will. I would not be at all surprised if Trump worked this out with Putin/Russia ahead of time, we take Venezuela and allow you to take Ukraine. That has likely been in the world for a very long time. Bizarre to listen to Russia rebuking the US in the United Nations. But seems par for the course now in Bizarro World. How sad though to hear Country after Country condemn to US and be absolutely correct to do so. The US is done. Even if Trump and company are removed, will we ever regain our standing again? Somehow I doubt it. Maybe if the Earth opened up and sucked down all of MAGA and every Republican in the US, there would be a chance.

But It is not a democracy, nor is it a republic. Moreover, in a 2014 Princeton Study, it showed that public opinion has a “near-zero” impact on U.S. law.

Oh, and lastly. In terms of the United States. We must never salute and show respect towards the American flag. The United States was founded on genocide and built with slavery, with the United States empire responsible for countless deaths. The American flag is soaked in blood. The only time to smile when in the presence of the flag is when it's on fire or being torn to shreds. When it comes to holidays like Independence Day, Memorial Day and Veterans Day, that they are not worth celebrating as they are about brainwashing people that the United States is a great country and reinforcing that lie for those who already believe it. These holidays, I would argue, are primarily about selling and reinforcing the lie that service to the United States military industrial complex somehow made the country and that of the world a better place. After you take the time to learn about the history of the United States and its actions, you'll hopefully come to the same conclusion that I have, which is that there is NOTHING honorable about choosing to be a pawn for the military industrial complex in service to the bourgeoisie, or capitalists if you prefer. The fact of the matter is that the United States bullies and terrorizes the rest of the world as it refuses to take care of its own citizens, because of this I can't help but look at the United States' flag in disgust. The ONLY time when it was acceptable to support the troops and that of the military was during WW2. That's it. But even then, the United States didn't win the war. The Soviet Union did. The United States just swooped in at the last minute to do some minor cleanup and took all the credit. Almost immediately after the dust settled, the bourgeoisie wasted no time in stabbing the Soviet Union in the back by spreading anti-communist propaganda to get the public to fear and hate everything that gave power and any resemblance of freedom and prosperity to the proletariat. Now, if you know someone who has "served" and was injured or killed. Don't get mad at me for speaking truth to power. Direct your anger towards the United States government for sending them off to die in a pointless war, conflict, or military operation that the United States instigated. Let me be absolutely clear. Although I disagree with Veterans and military personnel, in general, for their choice to be a willing pawn for the military industrial complex who I feel are undeserving of an honor, that does not mean I hate them. Unless they were participants in war crimes and are proud of slaughtering people, whether directly or indirectly, that's a different story. People who are proud of killing others who wish they could do it over and over again, those are sick and twisted individuals. That caveat aside, I believe everyone deserves to have their needs met with a government that actually cares about the well-being of people both here and abroad. In conclusion, the underlying reason for all these wars and conflicts is that the United States needs oil to back up the petro dollar. Without the dollars influence and buying power, the United States loses most, if not all, of its hegemony and economic stranglehold over others. So, basically, the problem is that of capitalism. With that said, though, by no means does that mean other countries are innocent in their foreign affairs, but the United States is by far the worst. It's not even a contest.

After you take the time to learn about the history of the United States and its actions, you'll hopefully come to the same conclusion that I have, which is that there is NOTHING honorable about choosing to be a pawn for the military industrial complex in service to the bourgeoisie, or capitalists if you prefer. The fact of the matter is that the United States bullies and terrorizes the rest of the world as it refuses to take care of its own citizens, because of this I can't help but look at the United States' flag in disgust. The ONLY time when it was acceptable to support the troops and that of the military was during WW2. That's it. But even then, the United States didn't win the war. The Soviet Union did. The United States just swooped in at the last minute to do some minor cleanup and took all the credit. Almost immediately after the dust settled, the bourgeoisie wasted no time in stabbing the Soviet Union in the back by spreading anti-communist propaganda to get the public to fear and hate everything that gave power and any resemblance of freedom and prosperity to the proletariat. Now, if you know someone who has "served" and was injured or killed. Don't get mad at me for speaking truth to power. Direct your anger towards the United States government for sending them off to die in a pointless war, conflict, or military operation that the United States instigated. Let me be absolutely clear. Although I disagree with Veterans and military personnel, in general, for their choice to be a willing pawn for the military industrial complex who I feel are undeserving of an honor, that does not mean I hate them. Unless they were participants in war crimes and are proud of slaughtering people, whether directly or indirectly, that's a different story. People who are proud of killing others who wish they could do it over and over again, those are sick and twisted individuals. That caveat aside, I believe everyone deserves to have their needs met with a government that actually cares about the well-being of people both here and abroad. In conclusion, the underlying reason for all these wars and conflicts is that the United States needs oil to back up the petro dollar. Without the dollars influence and buying power, the United States loses most, if not all, of its hegemony and economic stranglehold over others. So, basically, the problem is that of capitalism. With that said, though, by no means does that mean other countries are innocent in their foreign affairs, but the United States is by far the worst. It's not even a contest.

Nothing I said was inaccurate or right-wing in nature. As per usual you supporters of corrupt bourgeois power structure and the evils of capitalism with everything that entails are both dismissing and purposely refusing to consume factual and educational material because you're nothing more than cowards who are terrified of consuming information that would prove you wrong. You're more comfortable with various lies you've been told and would rather believe in those then to have your delusional and simplistic understanding of the world shattered.

Calling someone like me who is a real leftist that of a bot and/or a right-winger only proves that you're poorly educated and propagandized on many a topic.

Again. Getting rid of Trump and voting in democrats won’t solve anything.

You liberals happily support imperialism and fascism when a Democrat is the one selling it to you. You're propagandized hypocrites.

The thing is that I’ve put in the time to develop my critical media literacy and in turn have escaped the peasant mindset. You on the other hand haven't. Currently. You're more comfortable with various lies you've been told and would rather believe in those then to have your understanding of the world shattered. I suggest that instead of making assumptions and whatnot that you put in the time as I have to learn about different things from trustworthy sources, as well as listen to those like myself who have done a majority of the leg work for you by essentially providing you a cheat sheet of information so that you don't have to look things up as much.

Looks like that dream of the Nobel Peace Prize just went “poof”.

Someone will come up with a gold medal for most threats, invasions and war mongering. Will be known as the Ignoble Award.

So the fact that a handful of oligarchs control things in our country is still ok then?

I had no idea I was capable of this passionate hatred for human beings. This is not a happy revelation but there it is.

Five years ago tomorrow the MAGA MOB/CULT did to the U.S.Capitol what the Trump reguime did in Venezuela yesterday. Their leader - The Orange Phlegm - is patently criminally insane. His objectives are identical to the those of Goebbels, Stalin, Mussolini, and other dictators. And his followers and cult members are so far down the rabbit hole they will never see daylight again.

I agree, but who will do it and how ?

Congress told Trump to resign today! He refused so impeachment has finally begun.

While I hope this happens, I can't find any reliable confirmation that it has, other than from highly questionable sources. One is on YT, with a static screen and Rachel Maddow's voice, but it sounds like an AI simulation; in another one a reporter is shown talking, but what the audio is saying does not match the reporter's mouth at all. A 3rd one purports to be a CNN anchor, yet a visit to CNN shows nothing similar. I did find reliable reports that certain members of Congress have said it is an "impeachable offense" but found nothing beyond that 😕. Maybe you can supply a trustworthy link? That would be helpful.

REALLY, DID CONGRESS DO THAT ?
