Our system failed us. The electoral college. The 25th Amendment. Impeachment failed us, twice. The Supreme Court. The DOJ. The media failed us. Our Constitution didn't fail us, it just requires honorable participants and now, we are about to lose that as well. That’s how erosion works on democracy.

When these cases fail, and they will, Donald Trump will be able to claim victory because he will able to blame some “rouge judge” or some “liberal judge” and people will believe him, making him more powerful than he was previously. That’s how the landslide works.

So, if you’re one of the millions of people who bought a second home and stated on your mortgage application it was a second home and then decided to rent out that home… you too could be indicted by Donald Trump’s Department of Justice. Sounds like the small government Ronald Reagan had in mind.

Likewise!

Great point - This should have been a good news day for Donald Trump. Instead, the headlines tomorrow will not focus on one of the very few accomplishments of his already failed and flawed administration, but instead it will focus on what a petulant child his is. Fitting.

The America we're going to sleep in tonight is not the America it was 9 months ago. That America is gone, shot to shit as my parents would say, and not the America I grew up in and not the America I want to live in, for myself or for my family and their kids. Is this the America we want?

What exactly do you have to do to be classified as being part of the "radical left reign of terror"?

I have avoided mentioning the War in Gaza, but I wish people would stop saying Trump ended the War in Gaza. Blowback ended the War in Gaza. Somewhere around 80% of American Jews think Isreal is committing war crimes. Common sense is ending the War in Gaza. Donald Trump happened to be president.

Don't let them say they're shocked, they're surprised, they didn't vote for this... This is exactly what they voted for. They even wrote it all out in a plan... The message could not have been more clear. If nothing else, they need to stand behind the courage of their convictions.

If you’re following along at home, Josh Hawley was the guy on January 6th giving the fist pumping signal to the crowd and then seen running for his life as they stormed the Capitol. Apparently, he missed “Call Log Day” at Yale Law School.

People are waking up and Pam Bondi did them no favors yesterday.

Here’s the deal, almost everyone can relate to dealing with an individual like Pam Bondi or Stephen Miller at some point in their life, and that experience has never ended well, and people can see through their bullshit. The American people already know it when they see it, and it’s on full display.

As you’re watching clips of Attorney General Pam Bondi looking smug, indignant, above the law and arrogant when answering questions as the people’s AG as if she’s Donald Trump’s personal attorney, just remember that Richard Nixon’s AG was indicted, convicted and sent to prison. So there’s that.

Welcome to Donald Trump's America. Not my America. Maybe your're okay with this, hell, maybe you even voted for this and think it's a great thing, until it happens to you. It's a dangerous path.

True.

JC Hawman 🏳️‍🌈 @keeptherepublic.bsky.social · 2d

If you like watching implosions, wait until you see the slow-motion collapse of the entire branch of our government, formerly known as the Department of Justice. I couldn’t watch more than a few minutes but the clips being posted now are just as painful. That portion of the coup is now complete.

Pam Bondi is above the law, and she knows under her leadership the entire administration can operate above the law. Let me know if someone wipes that smirk off her face.

It's funny that 15 million being thrown off healthcare didn't phase many people, but when you ask 20 million more to stick a crowbar in their wallet, suddenly we have people's attention. What!? I'm paying what!? It wasn’t that they should be upset people are without, it’s paying more for themselves…
