Democracy’s Ghost

That press conference was choreographed for an audience of one and he sits in Moscow. Once, we fought tyrants. Today Trump and Vance are bending America’s knee. And that weakens us.

Dems have zero political power. We have to yield a different power. A collective economic boycott. We have to be willing to curtail our spending folks. Of course, necessities are a must. But think about discretionary spending. Do you need that sweater? That trip? That rug? Must be collective!

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

“Broligarchy”. Well I have a new word.

It’s spelled “Colombia”

All this pearl clutching and worry about the impact of the Hunter pardon and how it will “fuel MAGA”. I’m done worrying about “how they will use it”. They were going to do what they were going to do anyway. Let’s pay attention to the real shit show. Shall we????

We’re not accepting complaints about the Hunter Biden pardon unless you also complained about the Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, and Paul Manafort pardons.

A surefire way to cause some ripples between the President-Elect and the Acting President-Elect (Musk)? The media should only focus on Musk. Ask questions to Trump about what Musk thinks about this or that issue. Dig into Musk’s influence and report on that. And then grab some popcorn.

60 minutes on Trump’s cabinet picks: “Some nominees appear to have no compelling qualifications other than loyalty to Trump.”

When I think about the madness of this week multiplied to every week over the next four years, I actually panic.

The American public and the Senate Judiciary Committee deserve to see the Matt Gaetz report. Repost if you agree.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.
