I agree with Pritzker (as I have on a number of things) but let’s be very clear here: Trump did sufficient dangerously crazy things in the first few months of office and the 25th Amendment was cited then. But nothing happened. So…will something actually happen NOW to force Trump out? Hmmm…

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.

Past U.S. Presidents have typically made foreign threats the #1 enemy. In the case of Trump, his #1 enemy are Democrats. That is why he wants to use the military against Democratic leaders and cities. This is what fascist always do to their political opponents.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

Another damn day where insanity piles onto insanity. Honestly, I’m aware I’m not ‘involved’ but reading bad news after bad news, harrowing post after harrowing post, crazed and vengeful White House action after crazed and vengeful White House action…I sometimes find it hard to breath.

There's an insane Fascist dictator in the White House.

(sigh) One day, Johnson might actually shock us all as tell us the truth. No, no, I’m being silly - of course he won’t: he’s a Republican and one of Trump’s trained flying monkeys. And, for what it’s worth, Johnson talks about “distraction”, when he and his buddies are the masters of distraction.

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

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Yep. This pretty much sums up the situation. That interviewer doesn’t like what Kat is telling him though - look at the guy’s face. How can he be that blinkered and that stupid? Denial and ignorance are like a disease - and it’s a disease rife within the Republicans.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

You can hear the almost numb shock during this interview. And that horrified shock is justified. When you have military from one State essentially invading another State and targeting innocent people who are literally just stopping for a coffee on the way to work, you have wanton Fascism.

Agreed 100%, mate. Yet the amount of people now seeking counselling because of it (assuming they’ve not done something tragic, of course) is at record levels. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, that genie is out of the bottle and there’s no putting it back.

The only way I can listen to @PeeWeeGerman spew his hateful bile:
Elderly white hippie here in DC to tell him to go fuck himself
There is danger in DC but only for him
Any restaurant place he orders food from will contain certain added “biologicals” to his meal
Safer for him to hide at home
