Trump said as clearly as he could today that American citizens are not safe from his administration grabbing them up and sending them to foreign gulags with no due process. Believe him.
King Henry VIII reincarnated as tru*p. No one dared tell henry no because they would be thrown in the tower, tortured and beheaded. It seems we have arrived at the same spot.
I wonder if a new viable party will not be formed by this resistance movement. The GOP absorbed the Tea Party. And if the Democrats were smart (which as a life long very loyal Democrat who doesn't like change I am beginning to doubt) they'd try to incorporate the new party and it's ideas into it. This new party may do better remaining independent of the Democrat party if it can gain enough support and groundswell to go it alone. I think the GOP is dead as a viable party. Their stain/smell is too strong and too associated with being the Fascist Party. It needs to die a quick death. So we may end up with a weakened Democrat party that really needs to get it's act together and the new formed party which I have more hope in.
All I know is that we need to keep the resistance going and going strong. I'm hoping it will morph into a new party.
The Phoenix flying out of the ashes of a decimated country.
If Trump in all his stupidity does decide to declare war on any of the NATO countries (one of his ideas is to stop funding and leaving NATO), I think America would lose that war. It's not like it has a large portion of the population that feels any loyalty to the existing government and possibly would be welcoming and assisting the "other side". I could see America ending up following the path of the events of WWII and being squashed and being rebuilt with the help of the conquering nations. One can always dream. And I wouldn't put it past Trump to be stupid enough to start a war. I'm not sure that would work out the way he thinks it would (let's hope). I'm not sure that Russia is able to offer much support to the US and I'm not sure China would be interested unless it could claim America to be a part of China if it wins. (Again, I think the true patriots would be working with the NATO nations against China).
Rick, I understand that Chris Van Hollen has invited himself to El Salvador to speak with Bukele about his constituent, Abrego Garcia. Please advise him to bring his Attorney General. I will call him, though I live in Virginia.
Sorry I missed you live. Whew! You are correct: John Roberts needs to be on his knees praying!!! New battle cry that you mentioned for the Dems: Immoral! Illegal! & Wrong! FREEZE! FREEZE! FEERE! Everything!
America in general and Democrats in particular have to have their George McFly moment where he finally stands up to Biff Tannen, a character that was literally modeled on Trump. Notice I did not say punch. That’s not how you do it. You stand up to them and for yourself, your values, and your country. We are right, he is wrong and he must not win.
Democrats can stand up to Trump all they like but, as he says, they don't have the cards. The Republicans do. They must do the standing but they won't. They have to be wiped out in the midterms, if we have midterms, if we last that long. We have to protest, peacefully, in overwhelming numbers.
Nobody is going to save us. It's up to us to make this stop. Time to hit the streets. April 19 is the next mass protest (organized by 50501.) And more, until there is no business as usual.
I agree with everything you are saying-why won't the Democrats grow some balls!!!!

The Phoenix Party?
Here's praying and hoping.
Just called him.

Thank you both for your insights and strength.
Stuart, don’t forget he also has absolute immunity for any ”official” act, thanks to Roberts and his Supreme Clowns!!!
"Filming Kristi Noem's Agit-Porn" OMG so true. 🤣
Scary AF.

Under the circumstances, the 'problem solvers' on both sides are the problem. They fail to *see* the moment and act.
Not exactly uplifting, but excellent analysis as always.

Great post. The video remains frozen in this app. It’s much better on YouTube.
John Roberts never thought his beloved Unitary Executive would eat his face....

I'm frankly terrified right now. I have no words to say how much anxiety I have, and I'm not an anxious person.
Rick, Sen Chris Van Hollen says he’s going to El Salvador. Maybe he watched you and Stuart today.
Great discussion. I’m extremely worried and afraid for our country.
