Check their pockets before you let them leave.

When the troll in question is the president of the United States and his actions reinforce that he believes he is a king, we shouldn’t ignore it. Smart politicians will understand Americans reflexively hate the idea of a monarchy and leverage that.

When he declares himself king, he is insulting you—and the nation. You have rights. The government is YOURS. And our loyalty is to the Constitution—the profound and fundamental essence of our nation. Not him. True patriots don’t bow down to kings.

Every generation of my family has served in the U.S. military since the War for Independence. If Trump invades Canada I will go north and point my gun south. Canada will not be the 51st state bc Americans like me will sign up to defend it.

I used to go there about twice a week. I’ve been there exactly once since they dropped their DEI initiative, and that was only bc it’s the only place I could find our dog food in stock.

It’s a good thing I really like road trips bc I’m not getting on a plane for the foreseeable future.

I would simply abuse parliamentary procedure to holler this into a microphone or bullhorn repeatedly on the House and / or Senate floors until Republicans forcibly removed me, thus bringing more attention to the sentence I was hollering.

This is what real strength looks like.

What DT wants should not be a factor in fair and effective coverage. Your job is to be the fourth estate. The media has learned no lessons in the last 80 years. They've gone from writing puff pieces on Hitler to being a stenographer for DT and his lies. Historians label it as profiteering...

Every country that has survived democratic backsliding or even a coup attempt has done so by a very aggressive pro-democracy movement. We have no such movement in the USA. We have a bunch of anti-whateverthefuck and 'antifa' protests.
