Ask a Central American or Mexican with relations in Barack Obama's built baby prisons or child prisons how they feel about special protections for Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans. It's about a 50 year wait for a Mexican relative of an American citizen. It's time to change that.

You know, in thinking About his denial of signing the order to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, I think we need to see this in the context of his questioning of Biden signing the pardons. This is consistent with his larger efforts to undermine the ability of the public to know what is true... /1
"...and further reinforces for his followers that the only source they can trust is him. It undermines the public's ability to trust in the validity of legal documents as well, thereby helping to lay the groundwork for public acceptance of ignoring them.... /2
This would allow him to remove the judiciary, which is one of his few remaining obstacles to exercising total power. So what at first appeared to be merely more craziness, deflections of blame, and/or an excuse to throw Rubio under the bus, is actually accelerating our descent into dictatorship. /3
Am I wrong... Only POTUS can sign executive orders?
How does he not know he signed an order he acted on? Despite court oder not to...
I sure hope Judge Boasberg gets to the bottom of it.
This should prove interesting info for him for sure.
Sadly, I agree. And I am so fearful.
Didn't think Rubio had authority to sign executive orders...
So as HCR noted yesterday:
1. Either he's so far gone mentally
2. Doesn't know what he's doing
3. People are acting in his name without his knowledge
Fascinating analogy. I recall reading her words before and thinking how strong and unambiguous they were. Now, all I see are MAGA-clones nodding along and warping the sentiments to match their own desires.
Thank you HCR for lessons from history. You point out, Rep. Chase-Smith said it best: we cannot become “tools and victims of totalitarian techniques.” Gov. Mills models quintessential democratic ideals; she’s brilliant and unbreakable. She is on the right side of history. Stand beside her!
“It is high time that we all stopped being tools and victims of totalitarian techniques—techniques that, if continued here unchecked, will surely end what we have come to cherish as the American way of life.”
-Senator Margaret Chase Smith to Wisconsin senator Joe McCarthy, 1950
Thank you HCR. Your knowledge, particularly at this time, is invaluable. We need more with the strength of former Senator Margaret Chase Smith and Governor Mills.
bribery, the act of promising, giving, receiving, or agreeing to receive money or some other item of value with the corrupt aim of influencing a public official in the discharge of his official duties.

I kinda chuckled at this...
...in a rambling speech in which he was wandering through his false campaign stories about transgender athletes, Trump turned to his notes and suddenly appeared to remember his executive order banning transgender student athletes from playing on girls sports teams.
Trump displays the behavior of an addict: takes credit for all the good stuff while constantly not taking any responsibility for any of the bad stuff and blaming it all on the most convenient of his associates. Ultimately, no one is immune, not even those most loyal to him. A man not to be trusted.
Presumably, the vast majority of his supporters are also addicted to narcissistic devaluing & desperately insecure denial. Thus, they deeply sympathize with him & his irrational misbehavior.
Given that Gov Mills was bravely standing up for trans women’s rights that day at the WH, I’m surprised you didn’t include in your list of T’s attacks on women forcing trans women into men’s prisons, denying them appropriate healthcare and exposing them to sexual abuse. Something to think about.
Nice article.
But the times were different then. Tactics were the same though. So far no one in the GOP is a Smith. They’re all McCarthy supporters.
It would only take a handful of GOP Senators in lockstep with an equal number of Dems to stop the Trump Regime. Will they?
Very different media, too. Her comments could stand out & be in the news for days +. Slow news, way less 💩, not even a "zone" yet.
47's power depends as much on the splintered media bubblescape, the accelerating erosions of literal truth, & psyops 🇷🇺 propaganda as it does on his complicit legions.
They are ChrINOs, 'Christians In Name Only'. Nothing they do looks or sounds anything like the NEW Testament that the profess to love (as if they know what the word 'love' even means).
Trump always puts the blame on someone else. These stupid administration heads are setting themselves up to take falls for whatever the judicial system finds
“his habit of distraction might explain today’s social media post” about Gov Mills.
This is easily explained by the fact that he obsessively watches TV and posts about whatever he sees. Someone on Fox Entertainment Channel said something about Gov Mills and he reacted. This is state-running media.
Totalitarian is the government that tries to dictate who can be on which sports team or what bathroom people can use. Totalitarianism is incompatible with human life as we know it.
Eventually every tyrant will fall.
It starts with a small crack that will break a mighty dam. If everyone begins to resist, the day will come when the floodgates of democracy will open again.

Go Mills! For defending your state!
You owe DT nothing but the win in court!

Quoted again because it's worth repeating.
