Why can’t we organize nationwide rallies against the Supreme Court and the republicans in Congress. They are the enablers of Trump

Definitely need to get the Congress GOP to do their job.

They are basically on strike, and it's fraudulent for them to continue to collect salary, benefits and pension increases.

They should be charged with Fraud.

As for SCOTUS, I suggest that while the work can be done in advance, we don't want the Supremely Corrupt Judges, Thomas & Alito, to leave until we have a non-MAGA President to select new judges.

I came here to ask this same question. The ruling they just made has me reeling. It has huge consequences. Can we write to them and leave messages as we do our Congressional reps? Can we protest? This ruling, along with their initial ruling of giving Trump immunity, is at the root of the demise of our Democracy. What have we become? We are sending people to war zones to be tortured, basically for committing misdemeanors? My God. I keep trying to imagine that scenario, and it’s beyond horrifying. When did the United States of America become the abusers of human rights, not the protectors?

Here’s how you can reach the Supreme Court: Call the general information phone 202-479-3000, or public information office 202-479-3211 (press 1 when calling this number), or write: Chambers of Justice John Roberts, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 1 First Street NE, Washington, D.C., 20543.

I honestly couldn’t care less if Trump says, “fuck.” We have so many more issues than him telling us all to fuck off. The man is a terrorist in an elderly man’s body.

Well, him using the F word, especially in the context and manner that he did, is a symptom of his decay.

That's why it's important: not because it's illegal or immoral (to some) but because it's another symptom of his mental decline.

I'm sure he uses it a fair bit IRL.

But to use it on the lawn of the White House, in front of a gaggle of reporters, shows that his ability to assess what's appropriate is reaching zero. He used to be quite aware of his image.

He seems to be trying to get physically better, but the mental decay is really worrisome.

Let's remember he has the key to the nukes.

Wasn't there a King on Game of Thrones who said "burn it all"?

Trump believes that the entirety of the US is his locker room.

Yeah, it just shows the level of his disrespect for the entire country.

He comes from an immigrant crime family that never really integrated into the US culture, mores, and laws.

It's always amazed me that people cannot see him for the conman (and now convict) that he is.

He uses those words a lot. I always think of him as crass anyway so I wouldn’t expect him to do any better I guess. He made fun of a disabled reporter in public so I don’t put anything past him. I say that as a person who uses that word quite a bit too, but who wouldn’t as the POTUS.

Trump is a repulsive mean liar 🤥 who only cares about making money and trying to get praise. But kind decent moral Americans have NEVER liked a bully/criminal/terrorist leader!

I call daily. Don't know if it's working, but I am getting to use my voice in the hopes that they are listening.

Thank you!!

I don’t think we’ll see many big waves (like a major MAGA Congress member changing their opinions), however I think we can cause little ripples. I’m thinking staff members who hear the same thing over and over via voicemail, phone calls, letter after letter, email after email - maybe they’ll be a little more receptive each time they hear from us. Maybe they’ll talk more about our talking points to friends and family, maybeeee they’ll vote differently (if we get to vote again). I think we can cause ripples to push news organizations to be more honest and maybe even a bit accusatory about what’s happening. As a collective, our volume matters. And, at the end of the day, if we just annoy and overwhelm some staffers working for people hurting the average American, I’m ok with that too 🙃

When there's little waves, the current can change and they become big waves. We won't let up. Pester the hell out of them until they get as sick of us as we are of them. Be like a little kid that say's "mama" every two seconds, until you don't want to hear it again. As much as you love being a mom, hearing "mama" with nothing else with it every couple of seconds can be trying.

There are really no words to describe trump but one thing I know is ego needs to be fed every day and it doesn’t matter who it hurts ir who he puts in harms way , as long as he is seen a the strong man when in fact he is weak and insure with child like tendencies and no historic back round or diplomatic or negioating shills with minimal engish language capabilities.

My vocabulary used to be pretty good, until this regime took office. Now I know swear words that I didn't know that I knew. When this regime is gone I will clean up my act.
