Trump and Stephen blame the opposition for what they are guilty of. They have violated title 18, chapter 115 section 2383 insurrection rebellion. They know it. That's why they do this.

Gisele Pelicot was dragged back into court this week because one of her convicted rapists decided he didn’t want to “bear the burden” of being labelled a rapist.

He appealed and made her re-live the horrific crime.

The court denied his appeal and handed him a longer sentence.

Man who appealed Pelicot rape conviction handed longer jail term

A French court increases by a year the jail term of the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I am not one to run around screaming the sky is falling or that Trump is a dictator.

Not every molehill is a mountain.

But a president publicly directing the Justice Department to target his political enemies (and them doing it) is a BIG deal.

A mountain.

Say what you will about Schiff. But this was precisely the angle needed in this situation.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

The June 2023 SCOTUS case 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis says any private business can deny services as a part of the First Amendment.
Every single business in every city being terrorized by ICE needs to stand strong on rejection of services to these domestic terrorists.
