THAT is the question. And the answer is, not with this government of pusillanimous butt kissing sycophants whose only concern is themselves. The PEOPLE have to speak up at the polls and say no, not on our watch.
We've seen this movie before -- In Venezuela, Turkey, and Zimbabwe, a popular strongman came to power with an absurd view of the world, and not enough checks and balances. They destroyed their monetary institutions. Does the US have enough checks and balances to prevent Trump from filming a sequel?

If you don't recognize it, this is what fascism looks like.
ICE agent who shot woman dead is 'NOT expected to face criminal charges' as FBI zeroes in on victim's 'history of Trump hating'
FBI 'is investigating ICE shooting victim's links to activist groups'
Federal investigators are said to be looking into ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Good's possible connections with activist groups protesting President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

If we want to eliminate fraud in government we need first to start with NOT electing people who pretend to serve us while lining their own pockets and plumping up their own investment portfolios at our expense.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn: "What we would do is amend the Nationality and Immigration Act and make certain that all fraud -- not only fraud above $10,000 but all fraud -- committed against the US taxpayer and our government would be deemed as a deportable or a denaturalization offense."

This rhetoric cannot be allowed to stand. Anytime you hear your Rep or Senator doing this, contact them and call it out for what it is. They need to know that we're not buying their bullshit.

We are becoming numb to the delusional thinking that defines this administration and its policies.
Rep. Randy Fine on his bill to make Greenland the 51st state: "We need to make sure we assert our dominance over the Western Hemisphere ... the last thing we need is Greenland to become another Venezuela where we have huge problems we have to deal with in the future."

Remember that the whole infrastructure for democratic rule is being dismantled as well. It's not just the person, it's the entirety of government. And if those who enable such for their own purposes don't think that man can't/won't turn on them, they need to read history.
"In a dictatorship...once this process begins, it is hard to stop.
If they don't like strongman rule, they think, they can just elect someone else the next time. This misses the point. If you help a strongman come to power, you are eliminating democracy. You burn that bridge behind you.

This is akin to necrotizing fasciitis, a rapidly progressing bacterial infection that destroys the body from within. It needs to be excised before the body dies.
We are far past the stage of permissiveness with white-supremacist violence inside DHS. We are witnessing ICE transition into a death squad.
This cannot be reformed. The only question is who will fight to abolish it, and who will accommodate it instead.

Either ICE Is Abolished or It Will Kill Many More Renee Goods
Minnesota is just the beginning of ICE's transformation into a right-wing death squad. But it can be the end

We really and truly need to start testing IQs for public service. Or have some kind of qualification exam that proves the applicant is not an imbecile.
Burgum on the national security "risk" of offshore wind energy: "If you wanted to launch an attack on our population centers, the way you would do it is you'd come through one of these large offshore -- we could have an enemy swam drone attack into a place like the Northeast before we even knew it."

This is truly the most despicable, reprehensible and horrid government ever. The cleanse that will be needed after they're gone is going to need to be extra-heavy duty.
in which Karoline Leavitt calls the late Renee Good a "deranged lunatic woman"
FOX NEWS: The officer involved in the Minneapolis shooting -- does the president stand fully behind him? Does he think his action were justified?
LEAVITT: Absolutely. President Trump was right about this all along. This deranged lunatic woman was trying to ram him over with her vehicle.

Perhaps they can start with the AG, who TOOK A BRIBE from DT to drop a fraud suit against him. SHE should be nowhere near this government.
This is encouraging. Signs of a Senate with a spine.

The Current Occupant of the WH (COWH) is totally out of control and seems to be in deep panic mode. This is a man who has never fought in a war and has no concept of the power he's bent on wielding but wants to project the tough guy/bully boy image to get his approval numbers up. #8647

This government, contrary to their PR bs, is making us weaker, sicker, poorer and a lot more vulnerable. We will pay a steep price for this.

We need much more of this from every media outlet. Call out the BS.
Tapper did a great job here. Combining footage with follow up questions that directly debunk her lies, outright calling her claim not true, and highlighting her hypocrisy is how it’s done.
Noem went propaganda robot mode in her answer, but CNN viewers saw the truth upheld clearly.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Yes Mr. Homan YOU DO have to stop the hateful rhetoric.
Is he saying 'if you "infuriate" ICE by calling it murder, ICE is going to murder more people'?
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Kelly Morrison on a Twin Cities ICE facility she & other members of Congress tried to visit: "We were told to leave. We met with 2 of the commanding officers & they told us the reason we were not able to stay & meet with detainees is because the funding for ICE came from the 'Big Beautiful Bill.'"

Trump's America. Time for those sitting on the sidelines to wake up and start pushing back. Time for the media to start calling this what it is. You think it can't happen to you? Just remember: Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
