I toured Washington DC right before Obama left, thank goodness.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin is calling for the abolishment of the presidential pardon power, describing it as a “get-out-of-jail-free card” open to abuse by both parties. She argues the “quirk of history” puts too much unchecked authority in the hands of a single individual, allowing political favors.

Truth! 🤢

On the other hand, the federal government is paying federal officers bonuses to assault Americans. Republicans won’t believe that either.

We need to get this:

If it’s not about money or doing evil to others MAGA doesn’t get it. Sharing is anathema but getting their share is everything. Discrimination and verbalized superiority is power. They find solace in others just like them.

Our strategies should be based on their limitations.

I think it might also be that trump is so accustomed to his cult, republicans, big business, law schools and the Supreme Court MAGA 6 submitting to him, never challenging him, so he thought, wrongly, that the rest of the world would tremble when he spoke because he’s Trump.

Respect is still earned.

Interesting info from the video-why Farmers voted for trump:
1. Farmers expect Trump bailouts again (free money)
2. Environmental relaxation
3. Farmers are actually wealthy and wanted tax breaks

Good insight.

It’s absolutely wrong that the folks I read about who were pardoned by trump did not have to pay their court ordered restitution. So the victims were victimized twice - when it happened and again when their restitution was stolen.

The video of trump dumping brown waste onto protesters shows his extreme contempt for American citizens. The video can’t be excused or explained away. He can’t govern with this level of contempt for the people. For this reason alone he should be removed from office.

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

50 years ago, School House Rock debuted “No More King” to teach kids why America has no king. 📺

Tomorrow, we reinforce that in the USA, there are still “No Kings” & we're united against any emerging. Stand with us at your event: https://nokings.org

If you only live in the “here and now’” because it’s less stressful, less fearful or too much effort, the future will still arrive, just without your input. No Kings.

I’m sure the Supreme Court MAGA 6 traitors already have their instructions and have probably purchased Trump’s crown. He likes gold. I wonder if they will literally kneel as they crown him King & kill democracy, civility, rights and freedoms simultaneously. High fives all around? Et tu, brute?

Garcia: It’s really shocking for him to essentially lean into this possibility of a pardon. And we know why that’s the case, right? He wants to control what she says. He wants her—someone who has a ton of information on what actually happened—to perhaps… omit memories she might have of the president

I can’t deal with the Supreme Court MAGA 6 imploding our constitution in only 10 months. It’s like a horrific car accident, you don’t want to see it but you can’t look away. 100% dread this. Thanks for fighting back. Donation coming.

They want to lambast society’s “non-contributors” while they take away all the avenues to be a contributor. Insist on all pulling themselves up by the bootstraps when they had a cobbler and the finest leather handed to them. Have more than enough to share but apparently it’s not enough for them.

I’m gritting my teeth through this entire episode. Trying to give credit where credit is due. Struggling to find it, struggling with the implosion of our country and our Supreme Court. Watching animal shows, no news.

The enemies list should send a chill up the spine of every citizen. It’s not America. And, to quote Langston Hughes, “I, too, am America.”

You have to give him “props,” that took a lot of courage.

If not available in all states, we need a way to track and/or get confirmation our mail in ballots were received and counted. If the ballot was not received by Election Day we should download that info and use to get a provisional ballot. Trust but verify.

Morning Joe and Beeker are like the Ferryman in Outlaw Josey Wales. Taking Confederates across the River he sings Dixie Land when ferrying Yankees it's the Battle Hymn of the Republic. He gets paid either way.
