Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Election Day has long passed. In states like NC, legislatures are working to undermine the results
Voters in some parts of the country are discovering that having their say at the ballot box is not necessarily the final word, even though this year's election was over a month ago.

I want to encourage more people to take a beat. Take a beat when you have those big activated feelings. Responding in the moment comes from a sense of urgency, a rush to be "right". It also has your response coming from primary emotions, which are often shields from your secondary emotions.
