Doesn't ANYONE remember this? The Fulton County, GA, voting center raid isn't about Trump's "stolen election" lie Not really They're giving US voter data to the Russians. Again. For the specific intent of microtargeting voters in key swing districts to throw states www.axios.com/2020/08/18/s...

Donald Trump is absolutely the worst president this country has ever had. Bar none. There is no dispute.

Ask yourselves; If a foreign military force were doing the same things that ICE is doing right now, what would you do?

Yep. Folks, Im sorry, but this is it. And the sooner we all understand this the better.

Ask yourselves: What will you do if ICE comes for you or your children? Because that is not hypothetical. They are a paid mercenary army. And they eventually will. Americans must understand the sheer gravity of our situation. The window for stopping this is now before it is too late.

Ask yourselves; How the hell did the Democrat Party lose against THIS? Well, for one, you dont see a lot of Palestine protests anymore, do you?

Yep. Exactly.

How very easy it is to either ignore history altogether, or to criticize the ghosts of those who came before us. How very much harder it is to actually live it; To know for ourselves the awful struggles and unjust torments of tyranny.

It pains me to see so many of you continue to rely on midterm promises of Democrats returning to power when this man has PROVEN POINT BLANK (criminally indicted for it!) that he has no intention of ever leaving office alive, or of allowing his absolute power to be curtailed.

It is not congruous to at once call Trump Hitler and ICE the Gestapo while at the very same time telling people to be peaceful and calm. This does not flush.

You must understand that the dream of a People who govern themselves rather than being ruled lives on in each of us who hold fast to it. That is not hyperbole. I'm serious. Those of us who survive will need to reconstruct our government in the blasted wake of this violent wreckage.

Here's the truth; Jack Smith's testimony was too little, far too late. Just like Mueller, there will be no consequences. No accountability. No repercussions. At some point, everyone will eventually come to understand that institutions cannot and will not save us. Only the People ourselves can.

I previously dedicated much of my life to the Foreign Service, to improving life through peace, cooperation, and diplomacy. But nearly all of that is gone now. All the work I did, or that my students did -- gone. Shattered by ignorance, distrust, and violence. I am finding it very hard to let go.

...And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

The dream of the People to determine their own destiny, rather than to be ruled, will never be extinguished. One may as well rail against the hurricane to stop its downpour, or threaten the sun not to rise. You will never kill our will to be free.

Donald Trump is an asset of Russia. His marching orders are to destroy the United States, and to deliver Ukraine to Putin. Threats against Greenland are a direct attack on NATO, which diverts Europe's resources westward. Its not his dementia. Its not his pettiness. This is world war.

Vladimir Putin set the world record for ROI. Donald Trump is the greatest return on investment in human history.

As a former US diplomat, I'm going to lay it out; Trump is not threatening Greenland for minerals, or military bases, or to build a tech-bro island, or any of the other crap reasons being bantered about. He is threatening them to destabilize Europe. Why? Read on.

Donald Trump is 100% a Russian asset. This is not an opinion. It is not hyperbole. It is a stone-cold fact.

Tyrants can do many terrible things with their power. But they can never force the People to love them. No matter how much they want to be. No matter the threats they make. No matter how hard they crack down. No matter the atrocities they inflict.

One of the most difficult things for anyone to do is to admit "I was wrong". In fact, it is so difficult that many of us will willingly go to our graves before we ever acknowledge it.

Yep. I'm sorry, but I believe this is neceasary. I hope it isnt.

All the horror and violence they are perpetrating in the streets of our cities consumes and overwhelms you so that you have no ability to see or confront the billionaires who are wholesale liquidating our government. And if by chance things go awry for them, theyll simply use Trump as a scapegoat.

Vote. And vote Dem. But passive "status quo" and years-long "investigations" aint gonna cut the mustard this time. We must have a boisterous, unrelenting, and ruthlessly Nazi-intolerant opposition party, one that ALSO delivers real, impactful, meaningful change for the working class. No excuses.

In the last 100 years, the Insurrection Act has only been invoked a handful of times; 1) Eisenhower 1957; To federally enforce desegregation of public schools 2) Kennedy/Johnson 1960's; To protect Civil Rights marchers 3) George HW Bush 1992; Requested by Gov of California to quell LA race riots.

This is the USA's last gasp of capitalism. Capitalism is cannibalizing itself. It is collapsing and must transform. What it ultimately turns into is right now being decided. Authoritarianism or Democratic-Socialism That tug-of-war is what you are living through. It is the root of all of this.

As the Second American Civil War continues, it is very important that you document as much of your life and observances as possible. Journal. Record. Collect. Archive. Do anything you can do to preserve a snapshot of what life was like for us during this time.

Yes

Living through this moment, I find it all the more awe-inspiring to remember that Martin Luther King Jr chose nonviolence. The violence of ICE is not new. It is merely dressed in different clothing. And in the full face of its wrath, this man still chose to disobey. But did so peacefully. Powerful.

Your money will not shield you from a tyrant's whims. You who enable this lawlessness shall yourselves be subject to it if you do not join the rest of us in opposing it. There is only one Lord of the Ring, and he does not share power.

A people so pressed by tyranny will not long withstand usurpations of their dignity and the infringement of their peaceful enjoyment of life and liberty. Most especially so when those people are armed.

A writer I have known for years, and whom I trust, Jared Yates Sexton, now states that we are presently engaged in the Second American Civil War. I wish he were not correct.

If Trump succeeds in oustering Powell, I would very strongly urge all of you to start saving every penny you can. Because Trump will absolutely drive us all headlong into a deep depression from which we will not emerge any time soon.

The name "Trump" will eventually be the most reviled and hated name in all of US history, if it is not already so.

"X" is not "the public square", it is not "Twitter", and it is not an arena worth fighting for. It is a privately owned extreme far-right tool belonging to an insane South African trillionaire with designs of global domination. It should absolutely be banned and destroyed.

Sleep, oh weary traveler, and in your slumber dream of justice and of truth. For these are but scant and few in our waking world, sapped and made fragile by the vampiric ghouls who walk among us; They who know neither kindness nor empathy. They who worship an uncaring and faceless god named Greed.

Was just in a barbershop waiting for a cut when a couple came in and asked the barber if they couls take photos with his "collection". Turns out he had a whole wall in the back festooned with signed Trump photos. Lady said "its like holy ground in here!" I left. Crazy fucking cultists.

Duw to recent events, it would behoove everyone to remember that the Boston Massacre was the crucial moment that kickstarted the American Revolution.

Government derives all its powers from the consent of the governed. it is time for the governed to withdraw that consent.

Do you know what The Regency Crisis was? King George lost his mind and everyone in his court knew it. They desperately tried to hide it for years, until he started doing things they couldn't hide, such as masturbating publicly, or mistaking an oak tree for a foreign envoy. We are reliving history.

FACT Donald Trump will either die in office, or will have to be removed. There is no other way this ends.

While I am horrified at Trump's recent actions, as a former US Foreign Service Officer, I am curious what the procedure is if a New York court acquits Maduro (or otherwise shoots down the prosecution). It seems there is a not zero chance of this happening. And if it does, where do we go from there?

If the institutions of the United States are so seized that its illegitimate president cannot be impeached and removed, then the people of the United States have no choice but to become ungovernable.

As an American, I am forced to now declare a statement; I will not take up arms against any prior ally of the United States, or any otherwise friendly neutral power. And I will not serve if conscripted to do so. I share this declaration here in view that others may do the same.

Record what you see. Record your thoughts and emotions. Record the good that science has brought to us. Record kindness and truth. Pass all of this down for those who survive what we are now all living through. Pass down what the billionaires did to us. Tell them how it was. Tell them it was real.

Dear USA, you have to throw everything you have at stopping this guy. We will never get back all he has taken from us but now his greed and violent ignorance has gone beyond our borders. I hope the rest of the world now realizes what so many here to still refuse to see. Stop him.
