Great Advice from Someone Who Did a lot of Protesting.

A picture of John Lennon circa 1973 with a quote to the left as one is facing the picture. The quote reads: When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game.
The establishment will irritate you: pull your beard, flick your face to make you fight.
Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non violence and humor. - John Lennon

It's gotten so anything a GOP senator does that's remotely close to normal is applauded by media almost as if they had voted to convict trump's Impeachment.

The corruption must not be stifled. Unless it's outside the republican party.

Then, it needs to be blamed on every Democratic politician in sight.

FBI shuts down corruption group, fires agents after they monitored GOP lawmakers

TACO

The article the other day by Brian Karem spoke about trump's fear being greater than ever. It's showing and it's likely to advance his dementia faster than it was already moving.

How much more stress will it take before something snaps?

The grounding of airplanes comes to mind. I think the public forgets that planes carry more than people. I still remember irate passengers accusing us of canceling a flight because not enough people. Airfreight is more profitable, and the mail is top priority. The disruption in the food supply, meds

Thanks. Now, that her election has been certified, if Grijalva isn't sworn in the story that begins is not a good one.

You stated a pure fact.

John Perschino @johnperschino.bsky.social · 10h

Oh, that's good.

You make it sound as if they want to start some sort of anarchy.

Wait, it's because they do.

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats.

Speaker Johnson has no right to stop duly elected representatives from taking office.

Call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

Brown was the reporters name, and now that I typed that, her first name is Julie. She covered for the Miami Herald. Great reporting and she was a bulldog on the story.
Floriduh being a home state of sorts, I kept track.
