“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it..... always.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Trump wants to arrest Democrats. History is repeating itself.

All of TYrump's inner circle are terrible, but in different ways. I put Bondi and Hegseth in the " Utter Disgrace" category, which has some overlap with, but is not identical to the "Human Stain" category where we find Stephen Miller.

Trump threatens to arrest Governor Pritzker. Pritzker replies: "Come and get me!"
Pritzker is one of the few American politicians who recognizes that Trump is an actual Nazi.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

If they limit early and mail in voting, which they’re working on, you really only need to suppress a relative handful of people, for a handful of hours, who are already mostly concentrated to the cities and areas therein. They’ll say the suppressed were trying to illegally vote.
