Yes. This is transparently the plan. It is a destructive and unconstitutional plan. And it can be stopped. It can even be turned into an electoral issue that hurts Trump. But only if we face this now.
Being a sane American right now: It's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: She knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
I can so relate to this.
"We have to understand him not as a fascist, though he is, but as a crazy person — a genuinely crazy person who wakes up every day & you never know what he's going to do bc he doesn't know"

...and remain a civilized society.
An excerpt from Jesse Jackson’s powerful speech to the Democratic National Convention on July 19, 1988.
May he rest in peace.
He has the same hallmarks as Fetterman; he needs to go or he's going indirectly assist Collins in her reelection!
If Russia had planted a sleeper agent in the US with the goal of winning the presidency and driving the US into ruin they could not have done a better job than what Donald Trump is doing
RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
WSJ: US is preparing to ask China to reduce its oil imports from Russia and Iran and instead buy more American oil and gas as part of broader negotiations ahead of an upcoming Trump-Xi summit.
Context: Political theater: in media - US will be tough on Kremlin, in reality - US eases sanctions on RU.
Everybody’s got their reasons for despising Markwayne Mullin and mine is him screaming at the dignified and brilliant former CDC Director Susan Monarez at a hearing.
He lied about a nonexistent recording and tried to bully her into submission.
She was a locus of zen. He lost his damned mind.
This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.
Rep. Moskowitz can be seen wearing a "JUSTICE FOR CRICKET" pin as he questions Kristi Noem
Embarrassing
I do not traffic in or promote conspiracy theories. But I also refuse to turn a blind eye to what is plainly happening to our democracy.

Absolutely!!!
He won't beat Collins. She likely has a thick file of oppo research ready to go should he win the Democratic primary. If he truly wanted Collins out, he'd step back. Beating Collins is the goal.
"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."
It’s a very, very, very dangerous thing for this country and for the entire world to have a cruel, idiotic, sociopathic madman in the White House.
I know the demographic well; I was raised in it! But you may be onto something. In addition to a President using simplistic, disparaging terms & now a senatorial candidate let's see if we can get teachers, priests & fireman to also dumb down their language. Heck, why bother going to school at all
Exactly; rather than trying to lift up and elevate, he lowers the bar in order for them to understand and relate to him. Lowering the bar!! Way to go!
The Pentagon briefings are basically Hegseth doing a bad Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry skit while Dan Caine politely refuses to answer anything.
Shia Muslims make up 95% of Iran.
They make up almost 40% of the entire Middle East.
Trump wasn’t the first POTUS gutsy enough to consider assassinating the Ayatollah.
He was the first POTUS dumb enough to do it.
Especially without a plan to handle the blowback.
He's using the Trump playbook; not a good thing1
Agreed! At this point he's syphoning votes from Mills who could beat Collins and beating Collins is the only objective. I do not trust Platner and you can bet, Collins is sitting on a stack of Oppo research that will likely destroy him. Mills has been vetted and all her dirty laundry is out
The only time we ever hear from him, is when he's using the suffering of others to pull the spot light his way or to diss on his opponents. He's continually failed to show us any proposed legistlation or policy changes. He's a charlatan propping himself up because oyster farming became too much work
It’s a really, really dangerous thing for the whole world to have a cruel, idiotic, sociopathic madman in the White House.
They still bomb because they can. The question is - why are they still able to?
