This more than anything tells me that they never plan on allowing free and fair elections again.

Soulless, clueless piece of sh*t. He has no concept of what it's like to actually work, earn a paycheck, pay rent, make a mortgage payment or buy groceries to feed a family. It's all just a game to him, like a reality TV show.

Trump. Stiffs. Everybody.

My Dad knew this and hated him in the 70s. Nothing has changed. He cares about no one.

Asked about back pay, Trump said, "I would say it depends on who we’re talking about. For the most part, we’re going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way."

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers by denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown.

Pick your battle because it’s one or the other. Either we shut everything down with a general strike and protest every day or we let assholes like this terrorize us. Which do you want?

This is no time for blame or spectatorship. Power centralizes by design; freedom disperses through actions. Communities, states, & networks must prepare together, not in defiance of law, but in defense of it - so that autonomy survives beyond the reach of any single will.

FBI snagged Sen. Ron Johnson's phone logs in their Jan. 6 probe, eyeing his push for bogus electors to Pence. Now he whines about "shocking" surveillance from the same crew he accuses of threatening democracy. #Jan6
