To fix this, you'd have to fix the Constitution, the checks and balances has not worked at all.

You'll have to fix the Supreme court too.

You'll also have to remove every last Trump appointee everywhere in administration.

You'll need to rebuild every organisation he took down AND safeguard them.

Hey Bible boy:

"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."

Matthew 25:35-36

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

We have 25% of the globe’s prisoners.
None are able to vote.
They work for the corporations.
They don’t get paid.
It’s SLAVERY.
And there’s MUCH more to come.

Jack Smith wasn’t the special counsel when the FBI obtained a court order to search Mar-a-lago for classified documents.

He was in the Netherlands working at the ICC.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Oh its very par for the course, I assure you.

I believe the song that goes with it is America Über Alles.....

Which is why the whole concept of "America First" is a fascist one.

All the more credit to you!

Can I just say that as someone who lives on disability, I feel so strongly for you. Life is hard enough from before, if we don't have to fight every day for money to even live. I can't imagine how hard that is in America. You have nowhere near the soc security we have

This is what terrifies us in Europe, (and Canada I imagine) looking at this from the outside.

Because that is the mentality that got us Hitler, and in pretty much all European countries short of a very few, we have grandparents who lived in hell for 5 years as a result

Those of us who were lucky..

That’s what these groups are building up to, I believe.

We don’t have a tradition in this country as they do in France and other places of being out in the streets until the pressure forces the regime to change. it’s like strengthening a muscle.

It’s requires patience and persistence.
