spot on...and yet, so few even recognize this as fact.

Merrick Garland has proven that he has no entry in Profiles in Courage.

"All history will show that no tyrant ever grasped the reins of power till they were put into his hands by corrupt and obsequious legislative bodies...."

Sam Houston. May 7, 1832. Register of Debates, 22nd Congress, 1st Session.

"But while gentlemen seem so greatly to dread the tyranny of a single individual, and appear to consider it as a matter of course...that it must be some Caesar, some Cromwell, or some Bonaparte, who is to overthrow our liberties, I must beg leave to dissent from that opinion....

‪ "Apprehensions seem to be entertained by members of this House...They have spoken of the designs of tyrants. They have conjured up the spectre of a Chief Magistrate who may have his bullies and his myrmidons, and may employ them to carry measures in this House, by practices the most nefarious..

Hannah Arendt...the Origins of Totalitarianism.

maybe not a very good singer, but explain to your seven year old how Dylan's songs ring far more real than the songs you hear today and how his songs inspired a generation during turbulent times, much like another inspiration, Woody Guthrie.

some of these military leaders have already executed illegal orders firing upon and sinking Venezuelan boats in international waters without cause.

where is the backbone of our military leaders?...why are they not standing up to authoritarianism?...the enemy is not from within...it is those in power with less than 30% support, who are attempting to take complete control...do not allow this country to become 'Orbanized' as Hungary has done.

true heroes, who come from a generation that understand the importance of the family farm to America and are trying to prevent the oligarchs from taking over the land.

When considering what the hell Edolf Muskrat and Drumpf are doing to this country...just remember the acronym:

WWPD...What Would Putin Do?

roger goodell: "do as i say, not as i do."

Malcolm X was excoriated for his statement about 'the chickens coming home to roost' shortly after the JFK assassination...his comment was another way of explaining the climate of hate in the country...one can see how Kirk's death is an example of the 'chickens coming home to roost'.

i believe people are discussing the E-files but too many Drumpf sycophants behind the scenes have already distorted whatever was in the files to make them appear, like the Steele dossier, as some kind of manufactured propaganda.

not strange at all...Goebbels used Horst Wessel as a martyr for the Nazi cause...Drumpf likes that particular era's playbook...look for Charlie Kirk to become one of the tipping points for the authoritarian takeover.

in the sense that Drumpf was a Russian asset in the early 90s, perhaps...but back then that newspaper ad only revealed his racist bigotry...our country is sleep walking into fascism.

since the SC is seems to favor originalism in their opinions and the second amendment was written when gun owners needed the skill to make ammunition, maybe we should try banning bullets instead of guns and approach the scourge from that direction.

well, it is inevitable, but it is bigger than Drumpf...if a portion of the population would rather vote for a rapist rather than a person who has prosecuted rapists, that tells me that our society has gone beyond the bounds of decency and will goose step into fascism, willingly.

some of Will Rogers memorable quotes remain with us and still ring true today.

"Common sense ain't common."

"This would be a great time in the world for some man to come along that knew something."

"I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

happy independence day and may your struggle against russia in your war for independence be the inspiration for the american public to rise up and defeat the orange stain that has occupied our government.

and my brother, who lives in the burbs of Minneapolis, is having solar panels installed on his rooftop next month...enough panels to sell electricity back to the utility.

the follow up question should be: what secret protocols did the Putin-von Drumpfentrop Pact contain that sells out Ukraine for thirty pieces of silver?

one has to wonder what secret protocols will be agreed to in the Putin-Drumpfentrop pact in Alaska...most of Europe will not abandon Ukraine...this is the result of Russian assets now in control of the executive and legislative branches...none dare call it treason.

another russian asset planted inside the WH and the question will be: 'how many sleeper agents are going to be placed in sensitive, vital positions to our national security?'

this is one time where i sincerely hope history repeats itself.

to be fair...those were vintage WWII Sherman tanks.

no one is pushing readers back to X...those leaving bluesky for X are just missing their friends.
