Had Trump not been re-elected in 2024, there is a very good chance he’d be serving a life sentence.
But a plurality of the American people decided to overlook the 91 felony indictments and 34 felony convictions against Trump and return the criminal sociopath to the White House, where he had the cases against him dropped.
Things were so different back then.
Rule of law, adherence to the Constitution, justice, sanity, appreciation for factual truth.
All gone in the blink of an eye.
At left is the reason that I don’t shop at Walmart, and you shouldn’t either.
Asking American taxpayers to pay Walmart employees enough to enable them to eat is an outrage.
My gardener, skilled as he is with his hedge-trimming shears, can get you a better haircut, but I deeply appreciate what you’re saying here.
To the reader who sent me this:
Are you suggesting that they committed suicide or were killed in plane crashes?
I admire Jamie Raskin, and I completely approve of what he said at left. In particular, we do, the vast majority of us anyway, “reject these authoritarian priorities.”
The problem arises when Trump smirks and asks, “So what are you going to do about it?”
Dictators who have successfully replaced democratic governments have enormous power to bully those who represent a challenge to their authority.
In response to the question at left, I would remind this Norwegian fellow that democracies have fallen into dictatorships in countries all over the world since ancient times.
Consider the people of Germany and Italy in the early 20th Century, both of which populations were powerless to depose a ruthless strongman wielding incredible propaganda.
I’m not saying that it’s too late, or that it can’t be done, but it takes a great deal of hard work.
Only a modern-day Republican congressman would have the nerve to say …
And only a Trump supporter would be stupid enough to believe that Democrats are more willing to brave the cold than Republicans.
We are within a gnat’s ass of becoming a dictatorship.
A full 37% of American voters support this, as do a majority of congressional Republicans.
Sure. Let’s get rid of the entire U.S. Constitution while we’re at it.
