“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

In a civilised society the military would turn on their despotic leader and remove him from power.
They would defend the constitution and protect the people.
The American people are not safe.
The constitution is under attack.
Remove him.

Face it.

ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.

It is time to defund ICE!

The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution states,

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation..."

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

It's time that the US Joint Chiefs of Staff made a move: liquidate the President and VP, suspend the Constitution and hand power to a bipartisan administration with the aim of restoring democracy, freedom and sanity to the United States. And, that way, avoid a civil war.

These numbers are a shitshow.

The GOP knows they’re not sustainable, but they’re too afraid to actually do anything about it.

That’s why you’re seeing so many of them resign. They understand what’s coming in the midterms.

To anyone who lives in the Oklahoma City area be advised that the city council will consider approving an ICE facility on Tuesday the 20th at 8:30 AM. The facility is near a majority Hispanic school in a Hispanic neighborhood. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize these people. Show up to protest.

With all of the bird posts on here I felt it rude not to point out the newest species found in the USA…the Paedo-Magpie. It likes shiny things, has a penchant for underage girls and unusually for a magpie, comes in a disturbing shade of orange!

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Do you think it is time for the sane American people to stop paying federal taxes to help slow this unwanted invasion and occupation by ICE in our cities? Are there any other plans to halt this lunatic and his demented regime before we fall off a global cliff?
