Where's our Manchurian Candidate when we need one??

So - I suggest, our Demcratic leaders & their biggest supporters get off their butts & start making agreements with other countries to undermine trump. Simple. When a gov't goes into opposition, you learn to fight dirty. And since the GOP is mafia?
Dems need to up their game.

Because, if we don't intervene now; we will have a global war on our hands. It is inevitable until some balance of power is restored. And, with Trump, Putin, Xi, Kim & a host of others all grabbing for power & resources, it won't take much.

How do we dislodge this corrupt admin?
What tools are available to us?
We can't expect an individual leader to stand up.
This needs to be a powerful group. It needs to happen BEFORE state/local gov'ts lose all resources & are incapacitated.

We've had YEARS to anticipate this point. Which means either:
A) Americans are too fucking stupid to realize what's really happening (you are right - VERY scarey & sad), OR
B) They know & simply don't care.
But (and thats a BIG butt), we still have options. We just need to agree on a plan.

It sure as hell wasn't @schumer.senate.gov layind down like a doormat & handing the GOP what they wanted. Most gov't agencies have 'contingency budgets' to pay for gov't shutdowns. This has been going on so damn long, they have Plan B's.

But, we still have options. We still have enough players in DC with the power to fight. It was nice to see @booker.senate.gov speak out. But grandstanding in this case needs to be followed up with a tangible plan. How do Dems make it excruciatingly painful for the GOP to function?

But once again, we have not learned our lesson about how Democracy apportions power.
The masses should have the power right now. Abdicating that power so that someone else can make the decisions has been a long time coming. I agree with you on that.

But, I will not go 'gently into the night'.
I plan on making it as painful as possible for anyone who supports this travesty. The magnitude is too large.
Making people disappear is NOT the way to deal with climate change & overpopulation.
It is not the way to redistribute wealth!!

There is also the opportunity to start picking off the smaller, local politicians now.
You are right. I don't foresee anyone doing anything any time soon. They're all holding their breath waiting for someone else to step up.
And now, the uncertainty of who's in charge of the Pentagon?

He's too damn old to really care much about anything of significance.
And, you are 100% spot on.
Until Americans learns to stop worshipping fame & fortune; they will continue to suffer from self-imposed delusions of grandeur targeting their wallets.

There are ways for our nation to take back power.
Take back control.
FFS, the French Revolution got rid of a king & his entire ruling class.
So, what are we waiting for?
Someone to invent a guillotine?

So?
What is to stop enough Republicans from growing a spine?
What's to stop their constituents from getting in their faces & threatening consequences?
What's wrong with massive, massive protests by a united citizenry?
Local pain multiplied by lots of angry people??
Can we not see the potential?

Where were you this past week?
How could this NOT have made it onto your radar??
This is the same damn shit Hitler started doing in 1933.
Making people disappear.
It solves so many of gripes....

I have a flipping M.A. in German Studies. Not just the language, but the culture. Politics - I've done research abroad several times. I've received research grants. And have friends all over Europe.
I don't read one single source. I COMPARE different sources.
Now,

WHAT???!
Did you just say that??
Where are you getting your news from?
It's been all over international news sites.
Even SCOTUS has ruled it was illegal.
They're at an impasse.
Because I bet you, Kilmar is not longer alive.
But, what do I know?

The judiciary is empowered to enforce laws.
So is Congress to some extent.
Right now, it's Americans running around like Chicken LIttle that is the problem.
We need a united front. A sound plan to make it so painful, that we are heard. Congress can still impeach.
How do we MAKE them?

I have 22 yr old twins.
They are smart enough to chose.
Finding someone who makes you laugh, respects you, has compassion & empathy. Will buy tampons when needed...
Does it matter what the Rose is called?
It shouldn't. But, out of respect for my husband, I took his name~ call it a Gift.

I turn 60 next month. Have been married for nearly 40 years.
Cultural pressures are harder to shake. Especially in really small communities where you're related to everyone by birth or by marriage. People have surprisingly long memories when it comes to place attachment & the names associated.

Definitely an earworm.
Thanks, M-W!
