Megalomania.

Do a good deed and repost.

Take it from a Filipino, even if you despise the current rulers of your country, you will live to regret the day the United States comes in to remove them

To resist and fight, we need to be strong and calm. Toward that end, here's my emergency tool kit for days like this: www.verywellmind.com/5-4-3-2-1-gr... www.sciencealert.com/venting-does... www.goodnewsnetwork.org mobilize.us Take time for beauty, too.

How about finding a way to Amendment 25 Donald? Yesterday's press conference would probably give you all the reasons Congress would need. If not, it's easy to find more.

My call list today was Venezuela, DOIJ missing the deadline to explain redactions and finding a way to Amendment 25 Donny. I also noted to Mikey Johnson that Christian Dominionism is incredibly unchristian. Yes, I quoted Jesus.

So we conducted regime change with no clear plan for what happens after. Seems like we’ve done this a few times before.

Here's a chance to do a bit of good.

C'mon Mike! Save some funds for spelling education and how to present data (spreadsheets perhaps). 😀

Great!

I'd cash in my retirement savings to see that.

Hey Donny! Kidnapping is a crime.

He might just be the worst member of the Trump crime family after Donny.

Yep. My emergency tool kit: www.verywellmind.com/5-4-3-2-1-gr... www.sciencealert.com/venting-does... www.goodnewsnetwork.org mobilize.us

So fucking scary. We'll keep fighting.

No.

I spoke with María Corina Machado today. I affirmed Canada’s support for a peaceful, Venezuelan-led transition of power — one that respects the democratic will of the Venezuelan people.

NEWS: Colin and Sophie Hortman, the children of Mark and Melissa Hortman, released statements after Trump reposted false claims about their parents’ deaths. Sophie Hortman urged Trump to remove the post, saying, “I ask President Trump to please consider the pain and sadness we have faced.”

Sure seems so.

This works more effectively. www.verywellmind.com/5-4-3-2-1-gr...

I don't have much room, but one of them can sleep on my pullout couch if the criminals flee this far west.

Do NOT ask the crazy man questions like that. You put ideas in his head. We're already sick of him doing all the crazy stuff in his head. Thank you.

We're angry too, Joachim. You may have a parliamentary system & can call elections as needed. We don't. We also can't anticipate exactly when they'll do what, so prevention is impossible. The mess comes from people going along & not doing their jobs properly. We'll do what we can to make them.

Not 'we', Ron. Donny and his minions. We had nothing to do with it.

States don't want to give detailed personal information to this regime because that information is protected by long-standing state and federal laws. People applying have been able to count on their information not being used for unrelated purposes.

You don't know. Sticking to reality is important in fighting fascism. Making shit up just makes you like them.

It's Wannabe Dictator rule #265 to only kidnap dictators without much military strength. It's not enough that they are unpopular.

5 calls is a way to contact your Representative and Senators if you want or need a script to read. 5calls.org If you're the independent sort, call 202-224-3121 (Capitol switchboard) Find them by name or zip. Either way, Call. Every. Day. (magas call more often than we do, so even it up!)

Many other countries have parliamentary systems. If a gov't misbehaves, elections can be called. The U.S. has scheduled elections. That's worked for over 230 years because of some honor among politicians. To work w/in the system means working toward the elections next year. It sucks.

Yep. Why go after daddy when you can take it all out on the nice man next door?

Right now, CALL your Rep & Senators, especially if they are repugnican. Find them by zip or name at 202-224-3121 (Capitol Switchboard). If you get a human, ask for the numbers so you can reach them direct next time. Tell the Dems to fight this. Tell the repugs to do their jobs properly. Thank you.

Stop being afraid. They would be stopped. You can help.

Add in conservation measures and they would be enough to power the whole country.

Not for the first time, I might add.

Yep. Here's how:

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

We knew they were compromised, but not that they were complicit.

Certainly, the government is. Know that we don't like them either and are doing what we can to fix the situation.

Wonder if that line got a laugh at the NYC Marathon reading of Moby Dick.

Military members especially shouldn't be put in positions where they have to choose between unit loyalty and disobeying illegal orders.

The government is certainly out of control, but the country is not. To make it better while making yourself feel more certain, consider taking action. Some suggestions:

Thanks, Robert. Happy New Year!

Do you have Republican Rep and/or Senators? If so, work on them to do their jobs of keeping Donny in check! Recruit others in your state to work on them, too. No impeachment is possible without a Dem majority or Republicans doing their jobs properly.

Read the fucking Epstein files released so far and stop thinking the takeover of a country with the largest oil reserves in the world is about Epstein. They are two different issues. Stay in touch with reality.
