Sounds romantic and all, but aren’t revolutions pretty bloody? And in today’s warfare, they use drones to drop little bombs, I wouldn’t mind living the rest of my life without seeing something like that.
Revolutions don't need to be bloody. Talk to some Slavs. The Singing Revolution, the Orange Revolution, Velvet Revolution. Read the Wiki on those you will find them most informative. These sorts of revolutions are called "color revolutions" and they are exactly what we need. And we're starting on that right now. People are in the streets and resisting in other ways. We can do this too.
We need to be in the streets-- peacefully! --all the time. It realistically can't be everyone every day, but it should be *someone* every day. Trump is escalating; we must, too. The whole world has to be watching so they see what Trump is doing AND what we're doing to fight it. Trump can't be allowed to peddle his narrative, that he's being wronged by ungrateful citizens. They have to see him for the monster he is.
I out of town but I think something is happening on overpasses this weekend? And I don't need to wait for that. The hubs and I and our friend are perfectly capable of walking half a block to an overpass with lawn chairs and hanging a banner for a while.
Heard about this yesterday. "Adopt an Overpass". Commit to hanging banners on an overpass near you weekly. I think it's fantastic. Nearest overpass to me is probably around 50 miles away, though. :/
But the protests are not being covered in mainstream media; and many people don't realize they are going on and as big as they are. There was literally no coverage of the huge rallies over the weekend other than on Medias Touch. Even social media was quiet. But we hear about Trump, rarely the truth though. Thank goodness for Meidas Touch and it's reach!
It was covered in other places, but not corporate media. But even corporate media hasn't been utterly silent about protests in DC yesterday. But don't wait for corporate media to spread the news. We can do it ourselves. Boost good content online and go speak to friends and neighbors. Yesterday I was in line at Aldi with the husband and made a comment about how Trump was going to knock down the East Wing of the WH and put up a sticky tacky ballroom. And 5 people near me went What? Because they had no idea. And they were pissed. You just don't know what difference one sentence can make over time. Let the facts be heard. Oh yeah and now we're going to legalize chidk rape under the guise of letting 14 year olds marry. Think that will go over well with people already pissed about the Epstein files? Keep chipping away - we can and will do this.
Have you found The Parnas Perspective or Closer to the Edge yet. Both are excellent. You can follow for free or become a paid subscriber which I have done for both. The Contrarian is also very good.
Have you not heard about the new task force Felon47 is "thinking about" creating (translated probably means plans are being made already) called Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force with 600 National Guard troops able to deploy to any city within 1 hour? I'd prefer to call it the Domestic Peaceful Demonstration Quick Reaction Surround and Arrest Force. I bet it will be sent to any demonstration, protest or gathering that isn't in support of Felon47. Just getting together will become suspicious activity.
I recall an instance during the waning days of the Soviet empire when Russian people showed resistance by going out for walks in the evening. Seriously. It was the only thing they were allowed to do without getting beat up or incarcerated. They refused to sit at home and watch regime media, so everyone got out and went for a walk. It was just one form of resistance that signaled to the totalitarian goons, "You cannot rule our minds."
I remember seeing that also. Do you by chance watch Konstantin of Inside Russia on YouTube? I've known expat Russians here in the US, but even they rarely speak so openly about living in those times.
I don't think I've caught him saying a particular time it would happen. It can take a while for things to hit a tipping point, but then they go fast. An example is the Berlin Wall coming down. We will see another version when the Iranian government finally collapses.
The "Reagan revolution" wasn't bloody either and it's the close-up ancestor of what's happening today. Too many white USians were in favor of its racism, misogyny, and homophobia, and too many of the rest of us weren't directly affected.
Oh I remember Reagan all too well. It was when the link with Xian fundamentalist really took off. And here we are. Though I don't consider that a revolution as much as a psyop.
Lots and lots of research has shown that non-violent pooular uprisings are far more successful than violent uprisings. That's why Indivisible focuses on "strategic non-cooperation." Find your local group, or start one. Join in! We only need about 11M Americans- not just for one day- to bring this regime down and build something better.
I'm really concerned about what is going to happen in schools when they open again. Will he militerize our schools, or take over the curriculum ( he has to an extent in colleges) but will he target grade schools?
We are not remotely close. Russians have a centuries long habit of enduring authoritarianism. If we were close to Russia we wouldn't be on here and in the streets mouthing off.
We are like-minded. No revolution needed if our elected representatives will do their jobs. What we can do is show up in numbers, stand up and be counted, and speak truth to power!
Unless we're in the 10%, we don't actually have "representation" in Congress. That's social science speaking. We get what the 10% are interested in. At least until we can unplug both parties from the money machine.
As ON TYRANNY author Timothy Snyder writes: “Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.”
The revolution we are about to have will be demonstrated by protest, outcry and down right refusal to by anything. Denying the rich the money they live for will hurt worse. Also, Republicans are paying attention to the calls and emails. Many Senators and Representatives are briefed daily on the number of opinions they receive. So, keep calling. Keep speaking out. They are listening.
So far Trump has not been stopped from ignoring our Constitution, our laws and our institutions are being hijacked…it is difficult to not fall into despair. I understand those thinking a revolution is necessary. If the dems can win the house back and possibly even make inroads to the senate (maybe some Republicans will find their courage), we can make his last two years hell! We are needed NOW, talk to everyone you can and make them understand what is at stake!
....and our military better start defying The Dictator's orders--I'm referring mainly to his orders like taking over D.C. and having the army/national guard/whatever grab our citizens off the streets and putting them in prison.
And after midterms. The Dems need pushing. It's going to take a decade to get this mess kicked to the curb and get set up with the rebuilding. Play the long game.
Why? The answer to your question is simple. People believed the con. They thought he was going to do something. "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs!"He was going to "Get rid of them." Guess who the "them" is today? It's us. Welcome to the new and improved "Equal Opportunity Financial Slavery" courtesy of the orange maniac. That's why.
He's deteriorating. Falling apart daily. Resorting to cursing because he doesn't have enough of a vocabulary to express himself--nor has he ever! He's a bumbling idiot who packaged and sold himself as a genius. He's "low I.Q." as he likes to label others. The nerve!
For all his flabby orange bluster, he is not a well man. I am reminded of Steve Jobs. Rich as rich could be--yet he was rendered a pauper when the Grim Reaper showed up. Not one of these oligarchs can buy health or time.
So, although they're flying high at the moment, I must say I delight in watching them deteriorate before my very eyes. Not "Christian," I know, but, oh, so satisfying.
We are human more deeply than we are of any religion. We are both dark and light.
I don't think taking the high road is always possible, nor necessary. Our intention is not to harm. I think schadenfreude feels very good and bolsters our momentum, inspiration, and unwillingness to jump off a cliff.
Of course. 😅Being dumb as a bump on a log is consistent with these embiciles. Followers every stupid last one of ‘em. Following an orange Judas Goat straight to the slaughter.
His dreams of becoming the conquering hero will never come to fruition. Just look at the people linking arms and taking to the streets to oppose what he and Project 2025 are trying to install.
At this juncture, I’d suggest it sure sucks to be them. What they do not see, nor are they contemplating, is what options they won’t have once TSHTF and the cult leader is deposed. They may flee to Putrid’s land of nightmares, but I doubt he’s any more interested in “saving” them than Dumpster The Dummy is!
The combined MO appears to be “Use ‘em, abuse ‘em, and dump ‘em.” Just look at how he treated Michael Cohen. That alone should have told anybody with even one-half of a working brain cell that he was evil to the core.
Road signs all over the dang place, yet people fell right into his waiting lair. When his imaginary throne topples, I’m not going in among the rubble to search for survivors like we did in Oklahoma City.
That, as we’re all aware, was the handiwork of a white guy—not a black, brown, red, or yellow, or a gay of any “persuasion”—a white guy. The haters need to soak that up, marinate on it, and quit being so gosh dang gullible. Evil does not discriminate. It is an apex predator and, as TV ads like to show us, “… The [item] is available in all shapes, colors—and sizes.”
They think power and money and false superiority will last forever because they think they are above "common humanity." They are so much lower than.
I think people DO see more than they admit, but they feel powerless and ashamed. No one wants to be a fool, so I do think this is part of the continued unwillingness to admit they were duped, conned, used, and thrown away.
"It can never happen to me" is such a common refrain; we've all said it for one reason for another. And the truth is: everything is impermanent. And another truth is: anything can happen at any time.
I appreciate your erudition, always Ed.
And yes, white guys also stormed the capitol. White guys are not going to go pick strawberries or slave in 100 degree heat putting on roofs.
Whites are not street smart; I say this as a white who has gotten a street education affiliated with the carceral system. And as painful as it's been, I wouldn't trade it for my university degrees. It's what most white people are afraid of: knowing that we all are capable of everything. It's right there in front of them and they still refuse to see it.
You are so correct: Evil is an apex predator. And it resides deep in the bowels of this dictatorshiT.
Always look forward to reading your comments Ed, thank you. Good to be in this shitshow together.
Thank you, Beth. Yes, we’re in this foxhole together and the more “togetherness” people discover, take hold of and cling hold to with all their might the stronger the Resistance will be!
NO ONE, literally no one is getting better from these insane tariffs. Not the American people, not the world economy, not the free world (currently engaged in fighting back against a brutal dictator).
This is all a SCAM. The entire GOP has become a scam.
Well there is something nefarious going on. Keep calling him out on Epstein. Drives him crazy.
Dems need to stay on him. Where is he really going and why. For a lesson in dictatorship?
He is too far ahead of us and colleges, law firms, the media should be ashamed. We should be standing together to save our democracy and the capitulated in a heartbeat
China has reaped the rewards of our universities
Law firms giving into him
The media bending over. South Park handled him everyone else looks pathetic
Somehow I do not see the residents of Alaska agreeing to be gifted to Russia. I think there could be major war with the orange menace if he tries to pull that one off.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there. I can't for the life of me imagine either of these ladies even WANTING to run for office again. They will both get slammed at the voting booth. Assuming we can vote.
My thoughts exactly! He tends to tell us the truth once in a while, usually when he doesn't mean to. Ceding Alaska back to Russia as part of the "land swap" is probably simmering in his reptile brain. Only trouble is, Putin will play him like a cheap violin, Trump will sign over the deed, and get absolutely nothing in return for the US or Ukraine.
Sure can see that (@$%wad*^%stain) gifting AK & teaming up to invade Canada. Felon47 has been very clear about his intentions to be a conquering dictator.
Some time back, Putin did say he wanted Alaska back, and of djt did say something like 'we can work something out'.
Not sure how Canada would feel about having Russia on it's back door step, or even how the citizens of Alaska would feel about suddenly being Russians.
Perhaps the orange subconscious is speaking when he repeatedly states he's going to Russia. So......... let the pilot TAKE HIM THERE! .... ONE-WAY-ONLY ticket. ("Just trying to follow orders, Sir.")
Haha yes! Excellent idea. He loves and worships Putin so much, I’m sure he’d survive there…until he drove Putin batty. But hey, I hear they have really nice prisons there!
Christian nationalists preach it is okay for the husband to beat up his wife........she should just smile and do the GOP mantra of "thoughts and prayers.".....the fascist right propaganda now covers up the high prices as being patriotic.
How much longer can this tidal wave of lies go on before a catastophy of MAGGOT proportions grinds this shitstorm to a hault.
Any man who hits me will be shot. Weaker sex? Nah. Better self-defense weapons. Don't harm me and I won't harm you. Violate that principle and be prepared for the consequences.
McAnkes Orange Clown is declaring war on US citiizens..........ICE has already gutted..destroyed and stolen the money from a restaurant........Next up will be looting peoples homes and mass rape of the women
When will it be time for patriots to arm themselves....organize their own defense organizations and make preparations to fight back.
The day will come when all the abusers including Trump, the entire administration, Scotus, Ice and other so called police will have to answer for their behavior while they were apprehending human individuals. The physical, mental and psychological abuse they have been causing every day since this administration decided to round up, beat up, torture and at times unalive another human will someday need to Atone for their sins against the God these Christians in name only CINO, profess to know.
I hope you’re right, but he’s never been punished for anything. I’ve never believed in hell, but now I’m wishing it is real. What we need now is an Army. 👹
That's all good and well for believers in such things as is their right, but justice is needed on this earthly realm and it needs to come soon and needs to be harsh.
I don't care if they are a trump supporter or not, no American should have to suffer such a price increase for a much-needed life-saving medication! That better not happen with the cost of my daughter's insulin!
Point well taken. I give the benefit of the doubt to the ones that now, in retrospect, that they do regret their vote; they had no idea it would turn out to be this awful. For those people, I sympathize when it comes to the matter of needing a life-saving medication and now being impacted with that due to their choice to believe all of the lies that he spewed on the campaign trail.
Nice Ben! Thanks for keeping us updated with the latest while Ron is taking a much needed and well deserved vacation this week! You are much appreciated! MEIDAS MIGHTY STRONG!!!
Why does the MAGA Supreme Court continue to bow down and bend the knee to the felon, pedophile in the oval office. It's time they practice the oath they took for 'we the people', in the USA before we are mere ink spots in newspapers. You all did not take an oath to protect and pamper the oval office inhabitants.
Justice Roberts can RESCIND the Convicted Felons Immunity and make him accountable for all of his illegal and destructive orders and actions... Unless he wants his hands to be just as Bloody as the Oval office child who is on a swift path of retribution because his feelings have been hurt.
They are bought and paid for. They don’t want to give up their cushy jobs. They’re wallowing in the “prestige.” They don’t care any more about truth anf honor than the hand that has fed them 👹
We need a revolution before this goes any further
Sounds romantic and all, but aren’t revolutions pretty bloody? And in today’s warfare, they use drones to drop little bombs, I wouldn’t mind living the rest of my life without seeing something like that.

Actions speak loudly. Enjoy your time on that overpass. It means a lot.
We've spend time on an overpass during demonstrations before. I-285 is always jammed with traffic, and we got a raft of honking in support.
Haven't heard of that but if so, I'm sure Ben, Jordy, Bret and Popok would/will let us know.
But the protests are not being covered in mainstream media; and many people don't realize they are going on and as big as they are.

AI is apparently filtering out anything labelled "protest." We are now having music fests in their place.
It's frustrating for sure; put the people will find a way to be heard.
Have you not heard about the new task force Felon47 is "thinking about" creating (translated probably means plans are being made already) called Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force with 600 National Guard troops able to deploy to any city within 1 hour? I'd prefer to call it the Domestic Peaceful Demonstration Quick Reaction Surround and Arrest Force. I bet it will be sent to any demonstration, protest or gathering that isn't in support of Felon47. Just getting together will become suspicious activity.
I don't think the courts would stand for that. It would be blatantly unconstitutional.
He does what he wants with little pushback.
The courts have been suspiciously quiet.
We're going to start calling them music fests, not protests. Need to get past the AI garbage social media is using. Seriously.
If I remember the police were pretty active at some music festivals in the 60's as well. But they didn't stop them.
Yes. He manifests every time he faces the camera, ffs.
I recall an instance during the waning days of the Soviet empire when Russian people showed resistance by going out for walks in the evening. Seriously. It was the only thing they were allowed to do without getting beat up or incarcerated. They refused to sit at home and watch regime media, so everyone got out and went for a walk. It was just one form of resistance that signaled to the totalitarian goons, "You cannot rule our minds."
I remember seeing that also. Do you by chance watch Konstantin of Inside Russia on YouTube? I've known expat Russians here in the US, but even they rarely speak so openly about living in those times.
I watch him. But the collapse he keeps talking about isn't materializing. Maybe China is helping Putin too much.
I don't think I've caught him saying a particular time it would happen. It can take a while for things to hit a tipping point, but then they go fast. An example is the Berlin Wall coming down. We will see another version when the Iranian government finally collapses.
Yes, I watch Konstantin. It's sad that he has been demonetized.
It is, and really I can only think of one reason why that is so. I don't have much to spare, but I do subscribe to him.
The "Reagan revolution" wasn't bloody either and it's the close-up ancestor of what's happening today. Too many white USians were in favor of its racism, misogyny, and homophobia, and too many of the rest of us weren't directly affected.
Oh I remember Reagan all too well. It was when the link with Xian fundamentalist really took off. And here we are. Though I don't consider that a revolution as much as a psyop.
For a "psyop" it's had astonishing depth and longevity. We're still living with the consequences -- and Trump II is its direct descendant.
too bad orange is taken already
It really is unfortunate. Maybe we could do purple since it's opposite on the color wheel from orange 🤔
Good idea! It's also red and blue combined, as if to say, "We're all in this together."
Brilliant!
Are you willing to live in a country like Russia because we are really close
Lots and lots of research has shown that non-violent pooular uprisings are far more successful than violent uprisings. That's why Indivisible focuses on "strategic non-cooperation." Find your local group, or start one. Join in! We only need about 11M Americans- not just for one day- to bring this regime down and build something better.
Informative and inspiring!
I'm really concerned about what is going to happen in schools when they open again. Will he militerize our schools, or take over the curriculum ( he has to an extent in colleges) but will he target grade schools?
We are not remotely close. Russians have a centuries long habit of enduring authoritarianism. If we were close to Russia we wouldn't be on here and in the streets mouthing off.
We are like-minded. No revolution needed if our elected representatives will do their jobs. What we can do is show up in numbers, stand up and be counted, and speak truth to power!
Unless we're in the 10%, we don't actually have "representation" in Congress. That's social science speaking. We get what the 10% are interested in. At least until we can unplug both parties from the money machine.
Indeed. We're right back to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
I agree except if magats continue to cheat free and fair elections won't exist.
Amen to that!
Yes, but remember what the Patriots went through 250 years ago so we could be free now.
As ON TYRANNY author Timothy Snyder writes: “Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.”

We have one starting up right now.
....and our military better start defying The Dictator's orders--I'm referring mainly to his orders like taking over D.C. and having the army/national guard/whatever grab our citizens off the streets and putting them in prison.
GOAL!
Release the Epstein files!
Yup. 100% on the money!!!
We do, and are we there yet??
And after midterms. The Dems need pushing. It's going to take a decade to get this mess kicked to the curb and get set up with the rebuilding. Play the long game.
So, if "paying more till it hurts" is Patriotic... why did the Republicans just give the Billionaires a tax break???
Billionaires pay 6% taxes. Me, you, everyone else? How about triple that.
This is so spot on and an excellent point!
And why did they vote for him to lower the price of eggs?
Why? The answer to your question is simple. People believed the con. They thought he was going to do something. "They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs!"He was going to "Get rid of them." Guess who the "them" is today? It's us. Welcome to the new and improved "Equal Opportunity Financial Slavery" courtesy of the orange maniac. That's why.
While he profits by the billions
He's deteriorating. Falling apart daily. Resorting to cursing because he doesn't have enough of a vocabulary to express himself--nor has he ever! He's a bumbling idiot who packaged and sold himself as a genius. He's "low I.Q." as he likes to label others. The nerve!

This is all a SCAM. The entire GOP has become a scam.
STOP IT!
Do you suppose Trump kept saying “Russia” because the territory he’s proposing be given up to Russia is part of Alaska, not Ukraine?
Well there is something nefarious going on. Keep calling him out on Epstein. Drives him crazy.
Dems need to stay on him. Where is he really going and why. For a lesson in dictatorship?
He is too far ahead of us and colleges, law firms, the media should be ashamed. We should be standing together to save our democracy and the capitulated in a heartbeat

Somehow I do not see the residents of Alaska agreeing to be gifted to Russia. I think there could be major war with the orange menace if he tries to pull that one off.
Putin is a rabid perpetrator of violence. He doesn’t fret about killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. (look at Ukraine).
Will Murkowski go along?
I did hear that she "has concerns"....
Right???? Exactly!!
No, no, no. You're thinking of my upstanding Senator in Maine ... SHE's the concerned one!
Actually I WAS speaking to Murkowski, who DOES express "concern" but just not as much as Collins. They both talk big till they have to vote.
I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek there. I can't for the life of me imagine either of these ladies even WANTING to run for office again. They will both get slammed at the voting booth. Assuming we can vote.
Oh, you could be right! He does occasionally say "normal" things..... he did similar re Canada & Greenland, etc.
My thoughts exactly! He tends to tell us the truth once in a while, usually when he doesn't mean to. Ceding Alaska back to Russia as part of the "land swap" is probably simmering in his reptile brain. Only trouble is, Putin will play him like a cheap violin, Trump will sign over the deed, and get absolutely nothing in return for the US or Ukraine.
Probably his way of saying ef you to Murkowski
For her impeachment vote, no doubt.
Ukraine has the minerals Putin and trump want
But Alaska has the oil.
Maybe he thinks that he can sell Alaska to Russia, and then get Canada as a state, so the flag will still have 50 stars.
<<<<SARCASM>>>>>
Sure can see that (@$%wad*^%stain) gifting AK & teaming up to invade Canada. Felon47 has been very clear about his intentions to be a conquering dictator.
Some time back, Putin did say he wanted Alaska back, and of djt did say something like 'we can work something out'.
Not sure how Canada would feel about having Russia on it's back door step, or even how the citizens of Alaska would feel about suddenly being Russians.
djt won't give up Alaska as long as it stays Gardian of Pedophiles and as dumb as Sarah Palin just sayin 🙄
Wondering same. Will the military stand up to that or will they cave were it to happen.
Perhaps the orange subconscious is speaking when he repeatedly states he's going to Russia. So......... let the pilot TAKE HIM THERE! .... ONE-WAY-ONLY ticket. ("Just trying to follow orders, Sir.")
Haha yes! Excellent idea. He loves and worships Putin so much, I’m sure he’d survive there…until he drove Putin batty. But hey, I hear they have really nice prisons there!
Christian nationalists preach it is okay for the husband to beat up his wife........she should just smile and do the GOP mantra of "thoughts and prayers.".....the fascist right propaganda now covers up the high prices as being patriotic.
How much longer can this tidal wave of lies go on before a catastophy of MAGGOT proportions grinds this shitstorm to a hault.
If only there was a viable brain cell among them....
Nope, no viable brain cells. We have low intelligence, zero common sense, and definitely no math skills in this regime.
Plus the Christian Nationalists having a propensity for falling for charlatan saviors. The perfect storm!
No hearts either. Tin Man and Scarecrow for real. No wizard.
Ah! But Trump has his Rasputin.
Oooof! Nice one!
Any man who hits me will get hit back!
Any man who hits me will be shot. Weaker sex? Nah. Better self-defense weapons. Don't harm me and I won't harm you. Violate that principle and be prepared for the consequences.
McAnkes Orange Clown is declaring war on US citiizens..........ICE has already gutted..destroyed and stolen the money from a restaurant........Next up will be looting peoples homes and mass rape of the women
When will it be time for patriots to arm themselves....organize their own defense organizations and make preparations to fight back.
I hope Ron is taking a well deserved break, as you all should. We need you all healthy and rejuvenated by self care.
Truth…. They can’t handle the truth!!!!
I’m pissed that I am now paying double taxes for less services.
Me too!😬😬😬😬😬😬
The day will come when all the abusers including Trump, the entire administration, Scotus, Ice and other so called police will have to answer for their behavior while they were apprehending human individuals. The physical, mental and psychological abuse they have been causing every day since this administration decided to round up, beat up, torture and at times unalive another human will someday need to Atone for their sins against the God these Christians in name only CINO, profess to know.
I hope you’re right, but he’s never been punished for anything. I’ve never believed in hell, but now I’m wishing it is real. What we need now is an Army. 👹
True, Mary! I look forward to their trials.
That's all good and well for believers in such things as is their right, but justice is needed on this earthly realm and it needs to come soon and needs to be harsh.
Well said!
I don't care if they are a trump supporter or not, no American should have to suffer such a price increase for a much-needed life-saving medication! That better not happen with the cost of my daughter's insulin!
Point well taken. I give the benefit of the doubt to the ones that now, in retrospect, that they do regret their vote; they had no idea it would turn out to be this awful. For those people, I sympathize when it comes to the matter of needing a life-saving medication and now being impacted with that due to their choice to believe all of the lies that he spewed on the campaign trail.
A bit of Grace is good💙
Nice Ben! Thanks for keeping us updated with the latest while Ron is taking a much needed and well deserved vacation this week! You are much appreciated! MEIDAS MIGHTY STRONG!!!
💙💯🔥❤️💙💯🔥❤️
🍊 Pedo sucks
FDT
Pretty sure he could fit the tariffs, his entire administration, his new ballroom blueprints and his dead ex wife in his ass with room to spare .
don't forget the plane with the engines running!!!!!
Why does the MAGA Supreme Court continue to bow down and bend the knee to the felon, pedophile in the oval office. It's time they practice the oath they took for 'we the people', in the USA before we are mere ink spots in newspapers. You all did not take an oath to protect and pamper the oval office inhabitants.
Justice Roberts can RESCIND the Convicted Felons Immunity and make him accountable for all of his illegal and destructive orders and actions... Unless he wants his hands to be just as Bloody as the Oval office child who is on a swift path of retribution because his feelings have been hurt.
They are bought and paid for. They don’t want to give up their cushy jobs. They’re wallowing in the “prestige.” They don’t care any more about truth anf honor than the hand that has fed them 👹
He won't do it
A big thanks to you for keeping our country and the world informed on what’s taking place. Never, ever apologize for speaking truth to power!
