In my latest interview on the MeidasTouch Network, Rep. Jason Crow doesn’t hold back on Trump’s first 100 days and the danger he poses to our democracy.
It’s in the Constitution that no soldiers can participate in policing or domestic security operations without a war declaration and a vote in Congress. That hasn’t happened. Trump thinks he can just write executive orders that are unconstitutional and then expects the Military to snap to an obey. What’s wrong with this picture? Everything!!
Do you actually think the military would obey when they are told to protect Americans? I know veterans would be more than happy to stand against Trump.
Unfortunately far too many would. It's one of the reasons that there is the purge going on in all branches of the military that we're watching happen real time.
IF WE CAN VOTE AGAIN! They’ve got restrictions on everyone in the bill the house just passed! Married women who have their husbands last name is the first to go! YOUR NAME has to match your BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
If the effing Mikey would take the tax cuts out of the big b bill! It would not look so bad. And if bezos, Zuckerberg, musk, cook n the rich aholes can pony up for inauguration n Easter egg roll, they can pay their fair share of taxes!🤬🤬🤬
202 225 3121 call any congressional member. We the people need to fight back and stop the destruction! We the people pay their salaries! Call n give them shit
It isn't just Trump. It's all of his MAGA supporters as well. Vance is probably worse than Trump. If Trump is impeached then does Vance take over? Things will be the same. The whole MAGA needs to be thrown in jail for their illegal acts.
Vance is not well liked and the MAGA base is not behind him like they are trump. Impeachment is not a one and done kind of deal - it can be done over and over again, and would have to be in this case, because after vance comes that snake mike johnson - after him is the oldest man in Congress, Chuck Grassley. It goes downhill from there. I think Marco Rubio comes after that. But they could just hold impeachment after impeachment after impeachment. I'm sure they can find plenty on any one of them to impeach them over.
Normally when the big pile of 💩 falls the rest will follow. Don't worry too much the rest will follow. He can't even keep a cabinet together, they are always fighting each other because of egos or can't all agree on subject matters. One gets fired, and another is in their place.They don't know what they are doing. Psalm 91
Agreed!! I think the Donald / Buffoon is being coached! "knows only what the last person said". Or his " over and over lies! Who's really driving it? Steph Miller? Russel Voght? Russel is the (main author of 2025?". Elon? Peter Theil? Billionaire Mart Loco members with their write in suggestions with a million dollar request fee?
Donald declares.war while rants about drug infiltration but pardoned a drug felon?? along with Jan 6? Is that where the funds came to bail Rudy?? Rudy still selling coffee? Or he got a pardon fee windfall through a Donald transaction??
Nope not just the Orange Menus!!! All of us need to keep harping on how insane it all is. Like before drive the corruption out and keep the party out just like the aftermath of Hoover!
MmShut it all down vote them all out with Primarys!! The ass holes! They forgot about us with their own personal gains!! Throw Trumps in Rikers! All of them! Erick, Jr, bonespur, Melonia Why shouldn't they go there before a federal prison?? There griftng off of us all! And renting way yuh to much in our heads!!! Don an Jr likely have and will sell us all out!! Their doing it right now!!
I participated in the May Day protest here in West Central Missouri. It wasn't a lot of folks, about 40 but we are deep in a red state. I am a retired Marine and I am not sitting on the sidelines anymore. I am sick and tired of this regime attacking We the People and they are grinding us, the working people under their boot heel. NO MORE.
Hello Kirsten, I served in the US Navy for 6 years. It is nice to meet you Marine! I have been protesting and contacting my representatives and fighting against this regime also. I heard that trump was thinking of ways to have the military be the "police" to deal with securing the border or securing cities from protests. I know my oath was to NOT follow unjust orders, I hope with all my heart that our active duty members take that oath seriously and defy the traitor and not commit unjust arrests.
He is a smaal rotten man to the core. I am ashamed to have had him grow up in my small town in Florida. H e is too big forties britches as they used to say and never comes back here even though his parents are still here. I have been toldhis teachers and coaches could not stand him as he was so arrogant.
That is awful and unlawful. Our military is NOT trained to work as a police force against Americans. I hope this does not come to fruition, it will ruin many young lives on both sides of the border.
He's a maniac! Remember there are more of us than them. He's using scare tactics again. To those that have served know rights from wrongs. And thank you all for serving. My country tis of thee sweet Land of liberty...Psalm 91
Thank you! I’ve been protesting, calling 202 225 3121 you can reach any member of congress. I call usually a rethuglikkkrussian! I leave a message or tell the aide! I call my senators n representatives, as they are doing the right thing for we the people!

Thank you! You did an awesome thing!! Keep showing up! More will join! I'm in NC, a fiercely red state with gerrymandering! You may feel like you have small numbers now but collectively we will be heard!!
Trump is a relentless bully, but he can be stopped by standing up to him, and not caving in to him. There is strength in numbers. COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS.
They aren't scared for themselves. They're scared for their families, and Trump won't approve a security detail for anyone who opposes him. What would you do to protect your spouse, your children, your grandchildren.? That's where the US is at.
Then they should voluntarily leave office because they aren't helping anyone. Either they get the needed security, or resign. They have already ceded their power over to trump, johnson and thune anyway. They are useless.
If they understood that a bunch of them banding together can win against the bullying as Barbara says, they could get past their fears and do what is right. They need to start talking to one another - but I imagine he has them paranoid about that as well.
I don't disagree, but I think they've all been told to tow the line - or else bad things "may" happen to their families. Trump pulled Bolton's Secret Service detail and there are credible threats to his life from Iran. GOP Congressmen and women have seen Trump's disregard for the lives of people who served him and his administration.
This is true... It might mean you are put in danger or in harms way, but the alternative of ever being in bondage to the narcissist is worse, in my opinion. Paralyzing fear weakens you to nothing and you lose all the way around. Fear with Courage allows you an option - you may not know the outcome of being courageous, but you will be doing the right thing. And when you are in a position where your action or inaction impacts the lives of millions of people, you have no right to be afraid and cave in to pressure or threats.
As someone who served in Commonwealth militaries it makes me ill to see how the American military is having to endure this tragedy of watching their country being torn apart from within.
Please tell me someone has a plan to counter the overthrow of the USA. We need you strong and love you
My first drill instructor was former British Army. He always had this dry wit that made us crack up on the parade square then get yelled at. Former Comm Reserve myself.
It's like those two poor Roman soldiers in Life of Brian trying to hold it together while Michael Palin tells them about his friend Biggus Dickus. That scene was actually ad-libbed by Palin and those two extras really were trying not to laugh out loud!
LOL right? John Cleese was actually a Latin professor before he became a Python. And I love it when the Pythons take the piss out of the military with their skits.
Left right, red blue… who cares! The current US administration is unqualified, dishonest, arrogant, corrupt, deceitful and delusional! It’s been common knowledge for decades that Donald Trump is a sleazy conman. Charge him with crimes against humanity and send him to The Hague!
He should be charged with people who pass away Murder! People who can't afford there medication because you trumpet took away their Medicare. Hes a Murderer. Impeach this no good Asshole. He OWES billions to his creditors through his court cases.
The silence of the complicit republicans is deafening. Yes its up to the common folks, stay in the fight. Don't let fear and intimidation hamper your hunger for democracy and your personal freedoms. Keep your eye on the prize "Democracy and Freedom"
He can’t be impeached without articles being introduced by the speaker of the house. I do agree that it is part of the mounting pressure. Though the whole White House lies its way out of each court order.
Any member can introduce Articles of Impeachment and then the House votes on it. The problem is not enough votes to impeach. A Democrat introduced Articles of Impeachment last week; but it will be voted down; because the Republicans fear pressure from Trump and his thugs. Thus, you need pressure from their constituents that is stronger than what they will receive from Trump.
Trump may not be abiding by the court orders, and some of his sycophants as well - but there are a number of people who are and he can't get around them at this point. That is what firing everyone in the civil service is about - then he can only have 'yes men' and he can really go hog wild.
He is a fine guy and I will always remember him holding that frightened women's hand as she lay on the floor when the rioting crud were trying to breaking in. I always thought he would be a good President,except that I wouldn't wish it on him.
Trump must be impeached and convicted as soon as possible. One man is causing so many to suffer.
We are going to get good people killed by their reckless behaviour.
They're licking their lips in anticipation. I suspect the maggot base is disappointed it hasn't happened more thusfar.
It’s in the Constitution that no soldiers can participate in policing or domestic security operations without a war declaration and a vote in Congress. That hasn’t happened. Trump thinks he can just write executive orders that are unconstitutional and then expects the Military to snap to an obey. What’s wrong with this picture? Everything!!

Tell them to stop trump n musk n his cabinet of miscreants!
Of course, they're disappointed. Project 2025 is failing, and Trump is leading the destruction of his entire administration. A very good thing.
That we can trust!
As soon as we vote in enough people in the House and Senate to do it.
Let's just hope we'll still have Elections 🤞
Oh,don't even go there!!! Shame on you for even thinking that.
IF WE CAN VOTE AGAIN! They’ve got restrictions on everyone in the bill the house just passed! Married women who have their husbands last name is the first to go! YOUR NAME has to match your BIRTH CERTIFICATE!
They can try all they want.
Day and night, is that all they do? Think of ways to take away our legitimate voters? THAT was almost the worst thing I ever heard of.
Can we wait that long?!
Sadly, it isn't just one man.
Correct. It’s every republican who sold their soul to Satan and DJT.

More grift!
And no damn parade for trump!
Completely agree and I think it’s all coming from SM. Who else is there to give him advice on how to handle the media and how to pass the buck.
He listens to other people but he always takes M’s advice. He is after all, the guy who is in charge of what goes on here in country.
What’s left of the maggot base you mean.

DeSantis just proposed using National Guard troops to become actual IMMIGRATION JUDGES. Seriously.

40 is a good number in that part of MO. Thanks for standing up and thx for your service in the Marines.

Don't forget Missouri has the Carnahan family. They are a flame that burns bright.

The majority of SCOTUS are Trumpist minions. No hope for Justice there.
How is he still in office?!!! 😡
Deport Trump!
I LIKE that idea!!
He is still in office because congress critters are too craven to confront him.
$$$$$$$ and intimidation!!
Because your fellow citizens voted him in and enough MAGAs to keep him in.

Hey there fellow CF vet!
If we are going to do this then let us get doing it soon
I feel young but I might not be
Being Canadian just got a lot sweeter and we need to protect that
I served with Canadian reserves then joined British regulars.
I swear to God I stormed Bunker Hill it feels that long ago!
My first drill instructor was former British Army. He always had this dry wit that made us crack up on the parade square then get yelled at. Former Comm Reserve myself.
I feared my instructors. Not for the yell but how they made me near-shit laughing. Few worse pain than silent laughing.
You nailed it Brianna
It's like those two poor Roman soldiers in Life of Brian trying to hold it together while Michael Palin tells them about his friend Biggus Dickus. That scene was actually ad-libbed by Palin and those two extras really were trying not to laugh out loud!
I am a huge Palin fan and saw that as well! My favourite scene is Cleese pulling up Graham on his poor Latin grammar. Class.
Palin with the crucifixion screening is gold too.
Palin does a great drill instructor in "The Meaning of Life" No phlegm though
LOL right? John Cleese was actually a Latin professor before he became a Python. And I love it when the Pythons take the piss out of the military with their skits.
I fear that the cheetoh is a prop. Vance is the church poster-child and that is what is coming on the nazi wave.
If the military doesn't stand for the Constitution and the American people then they have a complete mess on their hands.
We have you but you have had put up a good stance prior or you will have lost credibility with us
vance will never make it. We are warming up through the donnie. Shit is about to get real.
And now, trump💩is going after ActBlue. He can’t be gone soon enough!
Thank you!🇨🇦. We love 🇨🇦and are sorry about the mentally unstable, incompetent, greedy, corrupt po💩in the White House!
"Judge in Texas rules Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act for deportations 'exceeds the scope' of the law."
It's the first time a federal judge has ruled Trump's use of the AEA unlawful.

This is great news! BUT, what difference does it make when he isn't abiding by any judge's order?
It will inpire and motivate more people to get active and put pressure on the people who can impeach Trump, their House and Senate Representatives.
He can’t be impeached without articles being introduced by the speaker of the house. I do agree that it is part of the mounting pressure. Though the whole White House lies its way out of each court order.

You are right about that.
