Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

....And music, poetry, literature.

Instead, Republicans led by a smirking sycophant Mike Johnson, bow to Trump like Stepford wives so that they can dance through gilded ballrooms as the People's House is being desecrated.

If a bomb from a foreign country had destroyed the White House as Trump's wrecking ball has done, the entire country, regardless of party would have been united as one in outrage,anger, and fury that such a degradation had taken place.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

American institutions don't crumble. But they can be destroyed.

Henry Wallace and the Fight Against American Fascism A vital American democracy, Henry Wallace argued, was the antidote to American fascism.

Henry A. Wallace, my grandfather warned about American facism 82 years ago.Why am I fighting as he did for the soul of America almost 100 years later? progressive.org/magazine/hen...

True, but they are higher on the repulsiveness scale!

Shine a light on pests and vermin (I don't know why Trump and his syncophants come to mind) trying to take over our safe havens( rights and freedoms) and hope that they will all scatter in fear from being exposed.

Their final objective toward which all their deceit is directed is to capture political power so that using the power of the state and the power of the market simultaneouslythey may keep the common man in eternal subjection. Henry A Wallace on The Danger of American Facism 1944

They demand free enterprise but are the spokesmen for monopoly and vested interest.

The American fascists are most easily recognized by their deliberate perversion of truth and fact. Their newspapers and propaganda carefully cultivate every fissure of disunity … They claim to be super-patriots, but they would destroy every liberty guaranteed by the Constitution.

An American fascist puts money and power ahead of human beings With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power.

That's how I feel about the country today, that there is no one at the wheel, we are all driving off a cliff, and too few people seem to notice that immature children are in charge of our lives.

When my brother was 10 and my sister and I were 6 he would sneak the keys to our old rambler and as my sister and I were in the backseat, he would rumble us off down a long bumpy road on our farm.Suddenly, he would leap into the back seat and yell WHO's driving this thing!

Trump is having a second "annual" physical tomorrow, like all annual events which are usually held 2 or 3 times a year. The doctor will write "has fits of delusions" and Trump will brag to reporters that the doctor said he was the Most Fit of the Fittest Manly Men he had ever seen.

Smug, snarky, self important, she is like the 11 year old mean girl who thinks everyone will be envious of her blonde Barbie looks and impressed by her rude comebacks. So very ugly from within, soon that's all that will be seen.

What did the ad look like to join ICE? Calling all amoral J6 thugs living in their parents' basements playing video games. Must embrace violence,cruelty, misogyny,racism, and enjoy cosplaying in manly man costumes.Shiny new guns and a mask included.No experience in law enforcement needed.

In one of the wealthiest areas in the capital city of DC the local hospital has an Emergency Room wait of 10 hours or more.Bleeding, hacking,suffering people stuffed into a small area waiting in pain and watched with boredom by the intake desk.A WH ballroom is more important than health care in US

Dean: The president is unhinged

Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him

Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals.

Johnson: I didn’t see it.

Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Swear her in.

There has never been a more profound silence than what was delivered by the men and women at Quantico who showed little patience in suffering the imbecilic ramblings of two megalomaniacs accustomed to the bobbing heads and grotesque grins of sycophants. I am grateful for nobility and courage.

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?
