Dear Democrat Leadership,
It's way past time to take pool noodles to a gunfight.
It's way past time to "go high" when they "go low."
It's now time for brass balls and iron ovaries.
Get a grip. Crawl out from under your desks and EFFING FIGHT to preserve our democracy!
Please.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.
End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.
Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.
And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

We are free to mock and criticize Trumpy
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Trump is demented. Seriously demented.
We are in the hands of a mentally unstable nut who is now threatening Russia with nuclear retaliation based on the midnight ramblings of a drunken fool in Russia.

So very true!! First and critical step is to realize that this is NOT a Presidential political system anymore. It is (at best!) an illiberal Parliamentary system. Here is the blueprint of how to bring the Democratic party back from the wilderness:
