There’s one lesson for Dems that is VERY obvious to me now. Photos and video of Jan 6th should have been everywhere. They’re shocking and make people angry. People didn’t want happy optimism, sadly. Dems needed to beat voters over the head with shocking examples of Trump’s evil.
Republicans have white-washed Jan 6th, successfully to a point. And even those of us who watched it live and were horrified and angry, that fades some over time. But put up graphic video of the officers being beaten by MAGA, that elicits an intense emotional response. People NEED to see it again.
A "night of long knives" is coming, and probably soon. There are a lot of people on Trump's hit list for offenses from fighting against a putsch to saying that his ear might have been nicked by shrapnel rather than a bullet. I never thought I'd say this, but yes, people need to gun up. /1
For years, the NRA has said we need guns to defend ourselves against our own government. Now that prophecy may have fulfilled itself. There are 1500 violent thugs on the streets who don't care about arrest warrants or due process. Lynching is an old tradition in the U.S.
This didn't happen overnight. It has been slowly happening for years.
For those of who cared to notice.
Politicians of both sides allowed it to happen and those who spent so much time complaining/whining about corrupt govt.
and didn't bother to vote !!!
I think every one of those officers should file a class action lawsuit against the government (namely the orange tyrant) for damages, mental and physical...add in the people he pardoned for good measure
George, you’ve got the wisdom, having lived through horrific internment. What advice do you have for us? We need your guidance. I’m 37 and never thought I’d see full on fascism in America.
"There is no grief for the dead, no contrition for the big lie they perpetuated, no sorrow for the physically and emotionally wounded, no regret for their incendiary words and complicit cohorts—there is only their steady, strident arrogance and ugly, lumbering march toward an ever-deepening bottom".
I hope there will be lawyers coming forward to help keep these morons tied up in financial hell the rest of their miserable lives. I’ll donate to help these officers start suing the piss out of these assfaces
He doesn’t care about ANYONE other than himself and his bank account. Democrats, Republicans, wives, kids, mean nothing to him if they can’t add to his ego or bottom line.
The good news here is that Trump is going to make it harder and harder to find law enforcement willing to protect him with the Pentagon/military tries to remove him from power. He didn't make any friends in law enforcement with that pardon.
Trump is only going to keep the generals loyal to him before the Constitution. Americans are almost at the point where a armed revolt is the only course left to take.
Time will tell... Historically, Trump has a very difficult time retaining allies. Most people at higher levels who originally support him wind up ultimately speaking out against him in dramatic fashion.
Have you learned absolutely nothing about Trump and the Republicans over the last 8 years? I feel like I'm stuck in Groundhog Day and every Democrat is repeating, " can't believe it." Wtf!
Everyone is innocent until proven guilty IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. However, We are not THE Law. We are not stupid, and we are free to see the Truth .. That the orange criminal traitor is Guilty As Fuck and should be rotting in Prison instead of attacking America from our Oval Office.
We need to stop using any logical acceptable cultural understanding of what a person should or should not do. The person occupying the Oval Office does not care about accepted standards for our social mores. He is a pariah and bent on enriching himself at all costs
I hope they can sue !
Didn’t even think of that, great point !
Like O.J. ! He got away with murder and the Goldman family got him big time in the civil suit !
You may not be a fan of the British rock band Motorhead, but check out the opening verses to their song titled "Just cos you got the power" very fitting your post.
trump's just getting warmed up, all those fascist pics in the proud boys & oathkeepers will be his own stormtroopers. Things are just going to get a whole lot worse from here on in.
What's bizarre about any politician threatening all Americans with pardoning those who commit violence for them is that it sends the message that all Americans on juries should acquit anyone committing violence towards politicians in return and that seems to invite self-annihilation by the masses?
No they'd pretend that whatever level of success people achieve is because of them while they line their pockets and pretend they did anything to help.
The mafia did just as much to harm the communities they terrorized and keep them under their control as any other crime syndicate has.
Just as Fox News only talks about crimes by people with brown skin: Let's talk loudly about every time they are arrested for beating up or killing their wife, a cop, an immigrant, their kids, ...
I guess beating your wife, kids, and immigrants will be legal now. Cops only if they defend democracy.
And people get angry with me because I use profanity. Reminds me of Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now when he said "We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

this is so wild.
The new administration is beyond disgusting. It sickens me. And I don't even live in the USA. Trump will end up like Mussolini.

Trump Claims He Can Overrule Constitution With Executive Order Because Of Little-Known ‘No One Will Stop Me’ Loophole —
When in actuality, the people to be feared most of all are the ones most similar when we look in the mirror. 🪞

Expect to see more of what gets rewarded.

The Supreme Court already obeyed. Six of them got new robes: "Orange is the New Black"
