Damning Cheney and ex-Repubs is choosing purity over reality. Tyranny splits conservatives within democracies: one side patriots, the other nationalists & opportunists. No liberal democracy w/o assist from patriotic conservatives: Churchill, DeGaulle, & the Cheneys (father & daughter).
Yes. On this great question, Dick Cheney came through with strength missing from so many. The only path out of Trump is coalition of those rejecting Trump's lies & violence. Dick Cheney is blessed for bringing his gravelly voice to the head of the right side.
Thank you for posting this. Let this remind waverers & deniers.
Damn right. Thank you, George Conway.
Fighting Trump requires devotion to what Trump is destroying: law & limits upon power.
What matters is the difference. Trump wants to destroy the framework of our government. Reagen was devoted to it. Differences are part of a democratic system. Trump will destroy that system.
Blame top level: Miller vowed ICE would be “ruthless” & “hardcore.” Lead young men-at-arms like that & you will have bloody mayhem.
Blame the top: Miller inciting ICE to be “ruthless” & “hardcore.” Young men-at-arms must be under responsible leadership. We have psychopath leaders & will have bloody mayhem till they are gone.
The difference between good policing & bad is the difference between civilization & tyranny.
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, George Conway.
Rich men privately paying our military? Offense and menace. The military is ours under democratic control. Paid for by democratically set taxes. Trump means corruption, extortion & private terror. An evil vision.
Thank you Abigail Spanberger for going, going, going. Appreciated. Best wishes.
Trump is a criminal & terrorist. The R Congress is complicit. When do we drop the charade of normalcy? Until Trump is removed and Republicans cleaned-out, the prospect is tyranny, poverty & disease.
I believe part of Trump's purpose is murdering people at sea is to match his idol, Putin. Trump shrinks in front of Putin, because of Putin's closeness to killing. Trump wants to stand level with Putin.
Trump suggests active duty soldiers invade US cities; murders at sea; vows FBI & Intelligence involvement in midterms; uses Presidency to enrich himself & family; imposes taxes by whim; appoints sadists & cranks to high positions. An enemy upon us.
Thank you, George Conway. In front of our eyes, designed for our eyes, is murder.
Silence is doom. Do not let any outrage pass. Left unchallenged,Trump's menaces -- 'retribution,' 'day of love,' 'more than the National Guard,' 'poisoning our blood," etc. -- become a baseline. Just now he's asked if he really wants a 3d term. No. Charge him w/his conduct. Do not beg.
Job #1 is stopping US murder at sea. Lethal, lawless, and signalling absence of any limits. Message to all: we can take lives as we please, be good. Democrats, Rand Paul, anyone, speak now.
NYT now: 4 boats destroyed, 14 dead. This is Duerte-style execution. Execution outside of the law. Murder at Trump's say-so. This is dishonorable and must stop. Schumer & Jeffries must speak. US name being blackened. Every Dem speak. Afraid of what you might hear? Find out now.
We need a coalition. Put aside past disputes. Rand Paul more direct about Trump’s murdering than most Democrats. We need Rand Paul.
Exactly. Trump admires the Chinese/Iranian/Duerte way of executing alleged criminals.
