Sadly, it could become true, time is running out. He could even change the currency to his meme coin. I keep trying to warn people. If you do not impeach him this time, the future looks very dark and scary.

He is going to use Airforce one, to visit all the Arab Nations that he needs to, to build his hotels and golf courses. They're for him not America, but he's going to use your money to do it. He will be using your money for his fuel, flights and security. He hasn't mentioned going to Fance or Spain for diplomatic trips. The new White House flag will most likely have his face on it. He seems to believe he is America or He owns America, imo. If he isn't impeached, anyone who is not white, working age, or in the military, needs to be worried. Large sections of your society could be eradicated, such as elderly, retired, disabled, lgbtq+, state reliant, those with autism and other illnesses etc. He will control you under the pretence of religion. They have refused trans military personnel, talking about no dudes in dresses. Scottish soldiers wear kilts, loads of countries in the world wear forms of a dress. They are no less strong , no less masculine. He is insulting all these different nations, without even realising. Roman soldiers wore skirts, and were the strongest in the world. I bet not one trans person, has asked for a make-up room or dress. They want no climate change rubbish. Climate Change is real, yet he is going to allow more air pollution, to cause disease. He's going to decimate your forests. They are going to help destroy and pollute this beautiful world, use it's animals to make handbags, and then spend trillions of your money, to try and inhabit a bare rock planet, with no water, no oxygen, no signs of life. Look after and cherish this world. This is your home, not Mars. You can't just take things. Please everyone wake up, to what he can do, not what he is doing, because it could be far worse. Pre-empt his next moves, no matter how unlikely, you need to be prepared.

The American people and particularly our children are being squeezed out of the freedoms and liberties that are our Constitutional rights as citizens, with malice and aforethought. This court is going to have to be dealt with in the same manner. They must be made offers they can’t refuse. Not hyperbole. Otherwise, we are looking at decades to see any change, and that is simply not acceptable!

This is why they're doing what they're doing. This is why trump stated he wants to take greenland not for america or for himself, but for drayden brown who in exchange Donated a million dollars to his campaign.

America has been “under invasion”, since our founding. Pee Wee German is a fascist, case closed. As Americans who believe in our Constitution, we have to stop this madness. Trump, who has no constitution, is willing to destroy our country. If he was born in any other country he would be in prison.

Professor Leah Litman is a badass! 😎✊🏼💙👌🏼 I really enjoyed her erudite explanations. Thanks again Waj, for introducing us to these interesting intellectuals, through your Chai Talks interviews. 🙂🤲🏼

Spot on about the Conservative constant grievance discourse. It permeates almost everything on the "right", especially MAGA.

Ha! I loved Professor Litman's t-shirt. It reminded me of the iconic line from the classic Australian film, "The Castle"... "It's the vibe of the thing, Your Honour". 😁👩🏼‍⚖️

Flags - I beg you all friends - don't use the upside down American flag. It is too easily misunderstood. It will be used against us. Stop it please. We are creative, think of another symbol. I'm ex Bircher, I'm telling you... If you use the upside down flag - you are giving your readers way too much credit

Black armbands signifying the death of the Constitution?

Sadly, I think we must stay literal, no metaphors, too complicated. They can easily change the message and do with no guilt, even when they understand. Thank you for the reply

I fear that we are heading for a new kind of revolution, as we have no political gladiators doing sufficient battle against the flood of unconstitutional laws, and behaviors that have become a daily part of life in America. People are snatched off the street for using their freedom of speech to voice opinions, our medical and social security benefits are threatened.

People like Bernie Sanders, AOC, Cory Booker, and a handful of others fight the good fight. Millions of us join weely protest with no news coverage and little impact. In "Civil Disobedience," Henry Thoreau told us what to do if the people we elect lied in their campaigns and now threaten the country. Thoreau believed that if a government becomes tyrannical or oppressive, citizens have the right to resist and even revolt.

SCOTUS is corrupt and so are the GOP! How can the Immunity be in place when the actions violate the rule of law and the Constitution. It is utterly mind-boggling to watch the US fall so badly. 🇨🇦 🙏 🇺🇸

What about tax breaks that religious schools get already? Non profit, don't you know.

It was a revelation hearing Litman talk about how radical Christian conservatives take all of life as discrimination against them. How true. 24/7 grievance. Victims every one.

Refreshing arguments on vibes versus originalism and manufactered grievance in favor of white Christian nationalism. An emerging phenomenom arming the illegality of extraordinary rendition and violent suppression of dissent and the omission of due process for immigrants and activists is the elevation of unrestrained county sheriffs.

I’ve taken to writing letters to SCOTUS (SCUMTUS as I think of them). They’re public officials and we should all write to them like we do our reps.
