Unfortunately, this will make them smile widely. This is their aim, destroy the US democracy, steal our resources, while killing off the “undesirables”. Force the rest of society to obey the Christian Nationalist edict.
Seems like it, courtesy of corrupt Supreme Court decision on Citizens United allowing corporate and unlimited funds to buy our elections. Each citizen is limited only to a few thousand dollars maximum.
Redesign legal system to make it impossible to use money to delay or avoid justice. Thank you. It can be implemented when the sane, positive people get back into power.
"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders."
Unfortunately. Where is the real firewall for a wannabe Autocrat? SCOTUS or the Military? Sadly, to me it's looking like the military. How much control of the military will he eventually garner? This is a very scary situation.
Exactly! American's have always had the benefit, luxury and good fortune of living under a democracy. They have never been exposed to tyranny, but they about to get an education.
Yep, then the GOP pressured K-12 Schools to reduce, if not completely eliminate, Civics & History classes starting in 1980. I was a young Civics teacher, then. Fast forward 45 yrs later, it’s no wonder most of the voting American Electorate is Ignorant.
It physically pains me to listen to the stupidity of the slight majority that elected a Tyrant. I see no change unless congressional GOP quit trying to pacify a Tyrant and present it as normal. If they quit putting lipstick on a pig, America may have a chance.
I share the very same sentiments, Jim. I’m to the point now that I limit my exposure to the news because it tears me up physically & emotionally. This is a first for me.
The flaws in the Constitution have now been clearly revealed. The Founding Fathers did not foresee ANYONE or ANYTHING like the current mobster ever being in the White House.
You have that right. The 3 branches of government are no longer balancing each other. America is close to a dictatorship. The big question is can the situation be reversed?
All it would take is for a few of the almost 300 Republicans in the house or Senate to get guts and do the right thing for the country. So no it won’t be fixed anytime soon.
Clever, but “Democracy Dies in Darkness” didn’t work out too well for the WaPo. The media needs to understand the destructive power of negative visions. And conversely, the constructive power of positive ones.
When you see all of the moves Trusk are making, it makes considerable sense they are trying to bring our society to such a level of civil unrest to declare martial law. Loss of govt services/benefits, JAG firings, military puppets, etc.
It’s about time someone publicly tells Trump that HE’S the “laughing stock” of the world. It’s downright cringeworthy & nauseating listening to Trump’s asinine commentary during news conferences.

These folks are so DUMB, they don’t even recognize when they’re about to lose it all. This is absolutely pathetic in America, in this day & age.
It shocks the conscience how utterly DUMBASS a substantial portion of the American Electorate are today.
They don’t understand Democracy; they take their Freedoms for granted; & don’t recognize when they …
They laughed; didn’t listen; voted against themselves; & most of them will feel what they did to themselves the hardest of all.
While there may be no cure for STUPID, this depth of DUMBASSERY in America must not be tolerated moving forward. It’s inexcusable!
GOAL: Using the military to control citizens.
It all fits.
