Kristi Noem is in PDX today.
She brings the cameras w/ her and is desperate to incite Americans to do things she can film and edit into propaganda vids.
Do not give her what she wants.
The regime is frantic to manufacture a riot. Do not give them what they want.

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

F bomb city but important stuff about class vs morality, crime, desperation and why we’re doing it all wrong. And now, we’re making Americans more desperate, more hungry and more at loose ends with their health. Lack of compassion = more crime. But they want this! He explains that too.

I'm curious how many of those defendants ended up getting some sort of post conviction relief on ineffective assistance claims. I find that the lengths courts will go to cover for the state is equal to the lengths they'll go to shit on defense counsel.
