The GOP has already subverted constitution-based rule of law.
The constitution is largely ignored in favor of RULE OF POWER!

As per trump's constant strategy, if I can do it, and you cannot stop me, it is not illegal!

THE GOP MADE THIS TREASON POSSIBLE!

The military in the streets of American Cities by the Trump Administration to smother protest is Pure Dictatorship. It will be the end of Democracy and the Freedom if Speech.

The US population is not paying attention to the GOP's elimination of constitution-based rule of law!

If trump magically disappears today, the GOP TREASON remains!

There are multiple factors feeding our dysfunction, but GOP TREASON is at THE CORE!

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Diplomacy has always been a cornerstone for working out problems between 2 parties. But right now Republicans are lying nonstop and using official platforms to do it. Dem leadership needs to call specifically call the "story telling" LIES. Every single time.

Manufacturing panics and hopped up culture wars wearing thin for Mike and the rest of the trumps chumps.
Pro-Constitution citizens standing against tyranny scaring the crap out of them.
As it should.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Here are my bona fides:

I’m from Portland - like REALLY from Portland. My mom and her mom and her mom’s mom were from Portland. I went to UOregon. My partner called my “aggressively Oregonian” yesterday.

I’m also a historian of the 20th century United States.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

“It’s unclear why the Trump administration is providing a de facto bailout of the Argentinian peso when there is no significant financial or economic relationship between the two economies,” said Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
