I would expand the circle of guilt to include any registered repug. Call it complicity, enabling, or validation. They have made racism, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia, intolerance possible, made it 'normal'. Banning books, attacks on trans kids, Charlie Kirk, they are anti-American.

I hope you are right, but I'm not optimistic the files will ever see the light of day. We have yet to see an unredacted version of the Mueller Report. If we see anything. it will only have low-level dems in it. Pedos stick together.

You're right, they aren't but others are. SMART Elections has filed suit for Rockland County NY. The NY Supreme Court said in May of this year the allegations are "serious enough for discovery to proceed". Are establishment dems fighting? No, but then they never do. So far, it is only statistical.

I see it a little differently. We won't have a midterm election. We will have martial law. At which point, we will need to cut off the head: arrest bozo and senior staff. Arrest all repug pols. If we can prove this was a fraudulent government, it will make it easier to sell to the American public.

Fine, but what are they doing about? Assuming we are headed to a head-to-head confrontation, what are they going to do? Will they sit, cross their fingers, and hope, or think what can be done and who should do it? We know the fascists have a plan. The only thing saving us is they are stupid.

For early boomers it was La Bomba and Guantamelo (sp). I'm sure there are others. How narrow their worlds, how limited their horizons. DEI. WOKE. Vive La Restoration.

3. the process. Yes, we have recall, referendums, initiatives and anything to drive power closer to the people. We should start working on the new constitution as soon as possible. I used AI and came up with a close facsimile (used the current Constitution less things like a Senate, 2A, and states).

2. and pass the Immigration and Naturalization test. Then sit for 15-30 minute PBS interview. Put the results on the web and let people ask the candidates questions. Let's limit service to one 10-year term. Committee assignment are made randomly. No PACs, no parties, no private money anywhere near

Fine, what will it look like? More of the same, or something entirely different? Maybe only one legislative body (unicameral). Instead of states, how about 100 legislative districts of equal population? Let's take private money completely out of the process. Let anyone run after they take an IQ test

Sorry to hear this. Here in Utah, we haven't had much ICE action. When it happens, and it will happen, I expect the same. We are a fascist state with only a few pockets of sanity. No way to know for sure but I think the tide is turning. Too many lies,too much brutality, and chaos. People are hurting

4. but it may. To be effective, they must neutralize ICE. That means a coordinated placement of troops in all the major cities along with cutting off the head in DC. Bozo, senior staff, repug pols must be isolated. This will take planning, a lot of planning. It may need people inside and out.

3. another Kent State in our future, but this time the guns aren't turned on us.Working with ICE has to turn a few stomachs. One of their incompetents will screw up, much like the chicken hawk and bozo did Tuesday. He will issue the wrong order, do the wrong thing. Resignation may not be the answer

2. folks together to compare notes, share grievances, and find associates. I'm expecting a declaration of martial law to be the trigger, but maybe not. Paying ICE and not the troops will not go down well. Maybe it starts from the bottom.ICE is getting more and more aggressive, brutal. Maybe there is

Given their staffing performance to date, it can only work in our favor. The more incompetents they put in place the sooner the mutiny begins. There are enough good generals to do what must be done. Also, on the outside they have a little more freedom to plan, to organize. Quantico brought a lot of

Sorry guys, that last post was fake. I should have paid more attention. I noticed the missing star but ignored it.

Not really. The Maquis only became useful just before and after D-day. Yes, they helped, but they needed a bunch of armed troops and tanks to kick the Germans out.

Got a flag, a constitution, and a plan. Just need the military to rescue us. No, I don't think a bunch of ill-armed, untrained, poorly led amateurs are a match for ICE (as bad as they are).

5. others. If this happens after a declaration of martial law, then anything becomes legal. Oh, Thiel, emo, Murdock, and others will be stripped of citizenship and deported. I expect a mass migration of some of the 1% to countries without extradition. A warning don't let them do to your country what

4. a voice in how we run our country. No more racists, misogynists, homophobes, bigots, xenophobes holding us back. Time to make America be what was meant to be. Due process? Warrants, arrest, trial, and conviction? Could be 'iffy' because I think we need to arrest 6 of the current Supremes, and

3. an American (liberty an justice for all). After we have a new constitution, they will have an opportunity to apply for citizenship - pass the immigration and naturalization test and swear allegiance to the new constitution. Until then, they will be regarded as resident aliens with all rights but

2. for all. We outlawed the communist party in 1954. I think we are more than justified in dissolving the repug party now. The monied drivers (Thiel et al) want a fascist country. We can't give it to them. As for disenfranchisement, repugs have demonstrated they have forgotten what it means to be

Yes, it is 'iffy'. My position is the repug party has morphed, changed into an anti-American party. None of their values are our values. I regard bozo as a Russian agent, with those next to him as fellow travelers. I think we can make a case for treason for some, and sabotage (destroying America)

Come Restoration, the repug party should be dissolved and the leadership arrested. All registered repugs will be disenfranchised. This will be a step in democratization of our politics. Public financing, term limits, IQ testing, passage of the Immigration and Naturalization test. Better candidates.

Hmmm...we need to get this out. Be great if it could work for us. With ICE, I don't think it will be bloodless. Still, there may be a model for us. Need to know more.

2. declare martial law, then the 'unlawful order'. Refusal to obey, then mutiny. I expect ICE to resist. Now, how effective that resistance will be is anyone's guess. I think we will have more success with the military than what Gavin et al can do. I'd like to see more pushback from the Guard.

Sounds easier said than done. Look at the difficulty Gavin has getting Prop 50 on the ballot. Not sure what a 'shadow government' would look like. It is not the generals won't uphold their oaths, it is there has not been sufficient justification. Where is the 'unlawful order'? We need bozo to

01.10.2025 16:58 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

It should be system wide. All repug pols arrested. Bozo, top staff, and 6 SCs sent to Camp David and held incommunicado. Repug pols sent to the Waldorf Astoria, also held incommunicado. ICE disarmed. Once order restored, Kamala sets up interim government as new constitution is drafted. Trigger?

Make sure they can't vote. I think there is sufficient evidence the repug party is an anti-American party. None of their values are our values. Time to dissolve the party, arrest the leaders for treason, corruption, and incompetence. All registered repugs as of 01Jan25 are disenfranchised (no vote).
