The only people who can hold him to account are Republican officials, their billionaire backers, the political press, and federal judges, and they're all part of the same game.

A lot of words to say the regime are bullshitting about nakedly illegal acts 😲. Never got to the peril part, which I had hoped was about the loss of credibility and moral standing of the US government internationally, just as the regime's self-pardons and ICE kidnappings have done domestically.

The question is (along with the odds), who would bet against you?

For the corporate press, outing the fascist takeover of government amounts to a confession.

All I'm willing to bet on at the moment is the fall.

Seems every day, another escalation in our simmering civil war. Blue state governors and city mayors had better be preparing state and municipal police for what may come next.

It underscores and puts a dozen exclamation points on the danger of Republicans running government.

As always, what Republicans are attempting to do to the US is a test of voters and we've reached the stage where the regime is racing to establish military control of cities before the hoi polloi feel the full pain of having been hoodwinked, again.

Note to the current Republican Regime: there are over 38 million liberty-loving patriots in the 50 largest US cities, you will never hire enough physically-enfeebled, sociopathic goons to implement your plan to occupy and control them.

New ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting.

Recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards.

Some were dismissed because ICE training leaders learned that they had pending criminal charges.

The people will lead this revolution, soon Very Serious Democrats will be forced to endorse very serious economic populism, major donors be damned.

A mistake, at least without knowing the political cost of doing nothing.

What I don't understand is the sentiment that people's beliefs and prejudices are fixed attributes, rather than cultural affects, especially from the liberal side of the fence. Reform and redemption must be an feature of wokeness.

The Republican Supremes have so corrupted the meaning of law and the Constitution, the first task of any future revolution will have to be reversing everything the Roberts' Court has ruled.

It blows my mind that there are millions upon millions of people still unaware that these psychopaths are waging civil war against the rest of us.
