If you look up Project 2025 they are planning for the dictator to be able to fire up to 50,000 Federal employees if they don’t submit to MAGA. This means gutting the expertise and pathways for the entire Federal government. America will be broken to pieces.

When you appoint people who have fewer brains than the leader but sadistic loyalty you get…full on Nazi rule. That’s what people don’t understand about Trump. He can’t organize+he’s a coward but he’ll hire lackeys willing to destroy anything, everything & anyone if he points vaguely at those things.

This is shutting the stable door after horse has left and would incite major gop violence. It seems a waste of time or worse www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Justice Dept. plans to pursue Trump cases past Election Day, even if he winswww.washingtonpost.com If Donald Trump is elected president, the finish line for federal prosecutors is Inauguration Day, not Election Day, people familiar with the discussions said.

This is what dictators do: they cause civil unrest, then they set the military on the civilians. Then thousands of civil leaders disappear. Read about any dictatorship in history or now and vote for Biden and democracy. It’s the only escape for America.

‘No way out without bloodshed’: the right believe the US is under threat and are mobilizingwww.theguardian.com In ‘mirror world’, Trump is martyr and Biden is autocrat, as calls for violence erupt on internet after ex-president’s conviction

And this is important because Americans seem to feel things will somehow come right re TFG dictatorship or climate catastrophe issues but this is a spoiled generation that does not know how bad and relentlessly appalling life will get

Agreed, Trump is a felon. But if you are African American, or Syrian or Afghan or Sudanese, or Uighur justice has never come and will never ever come for millions. That’s not to say we should not fight for it but it simply does not come naturally. Not at all. Americans are grossly naive.

Trump makes sweeping promises to donors on audacious fundraising tour Utter corruption. Little do these idiots proferring money understand that by helping a man break all the laws their own assets are no longer protected if the kleptopresident wants them.

None of this stuff really matters for climate change. The big items for us as individuals are: - how much & how clean we drive & travel - how much & how clean we heat & cool our homes (and we should heat and cool as much as we need to be safe) - the carbon intensity of what we eat - do we vote

apnews.com/article/trum... amazing how the word Reich accidentally appears in social media posts these days. Don’t all we English-speakers find our fingers tapping it out absent-mindedly???😳

Trump's social media account shares a campaign video with a headline about a 'unified Reich'apnews.com The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as “Trump wins!!” and “Economy booms!” Other headlines appear to be references to World War I.

If Biden loses, environmentalists will stand to lose all the gains from this administration and then some. If you consider yourself an environmentalist and/or care about climate change, you should not only vote for Biden but convince all friends and family to do the same. The stakes are very high.

1) Emissions standards for power plants 2) Tailpipe emissions standards for vehicles 3) The Inflation Reduction Act $369 billion in investments in clean energy 4) Restrictions on oil and gas drilling 5) US participation in global agreements like the Paris Agreement. All are at risk if Trumps wins

The RNC's senior counsel for election integrity has been indicted in Arizona on nine felony charges – including conspiracy, fraud and forgery – related to her effort to subvert the 2020 election. For the GOP, experience in criminal election subversion is now a job qualification.

Republicans are the tools of Putin, whether they realize who is paying them or not.

Secret Russian foreign policy document urges action to weaken the U.S.www.washingtonpost.com Russia’s Foreign Ministry has been gathering data on the vulnerabilities of its Western adversaries, a classified Russian document shows.

www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec... The Supreme Court is a laughing stock. Despite deaths of Capitol officers, vandalism of the building, erection of a scaffold outside, stealing Congressional office contents both L and R are being idiotic in parsing words regarding obstructing proceedings

Trump exactly the same vein as Napoleon here: ‘If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing’.
