Something to Think About…
@somethingtothink
I am a teacher and political philosopher. I write articles to foster thought and action. I create illustrations as an iconography of resistance. With compassion for peace, justice, freedom and equality.
Patriot Front marches in the streets of DC. ICE is creating concentration camps with up 70,000 detainees. But yeah communists and the far left are the “terrorists”. Every accusation is an admission. If you want us to believe you maybe you shouldn’t lie so much?
One day we can use DHS, Border Patrol and ICE payroll and other records to prosecute each and every violation of the law. Congress please act to ensure this is so and that all records are kept. Trump is slippery with record keeping to hide his crimes. These thugs need to be brought to justice.
The GOP should change their name. They have no interest in a democratic republic and the rule of law, so they should choose something more honest about who they are and what they stand for: The American Fascist Party, The American Authoritarian Alliance or The White Christian Nationalist Coalition.
I wholeheartedly agree. He is authoritarian/fascist in his politics and in his vision of the budgetary process. He mistakenly thinks the Presidency has the power of the purse Congress was Constitutionally given and that the President can unilaterally reject the spending laws Congress sets forth.
On this 250th Independence Day we must remember this country is about US: the PEOPLE, our RIGHTS and power to SELF-GOVERN. All walks of life, backgrounds, races, religions or lack of, sex and sexuality TOGETHER. Every one of us. Our republic sits on a knife’s edge, but DEMOCRACY will prevail.
We need a process for recalling and removing the President. We elect him. Why can’t we “unelect” him? The people need a direct process the circumvents Congress. We should amend the constitution to provide this process. If the Pres truly serves us, we should be able to vote to remove them.
More conjecture from me: SCOTUS will find for Birthright Citizenship and use it to paper over all the other extremist shit they are gonna hand down. But then again, these folks love overturning precedent if it advances their agenda. Spoon Full of Sugar Judiciary Theory.
Dictator Donnie obsessively calls anyone left of him a communist, which is most people when you’re a far-right authoritarian. A) Who is falling for this? B) Are there even communists anymore? The Cold War ended in the early 90’s. C) Is this because his hero Roy Cohn was McCarthy’s lawyer too?
The next blue Congress should expand the SCOTUS from 9 seats to 13 and ideologically balance out the far-right white supremacists whose views are so bigoted. From Citizens United to the gutting of the Voting Rights Act these people aren’t protecting our democracy. They are destroying it.
Vance is maneuvering to take Trump’s Presidency. Trump is imploding. The regime is leaking like crazy. Everyone is complicit & all want the office. Now JD is saying Trump’s admin is nothing compared to Nixon’s. JD just publicly fingered his boss. JD’s turn for a coup. Trump resigns for a pardon?
There is seriously something broken inside this man. His lack of compassion, empathy and pure hatred makes him a true psychopathic individual. I just don’t understand the hate in his heart. Icon of hate. Vile sociopath. Lover of violence. Fascist. Advisor to the president. indict.try.convict.jail
I think Nixon would be glad that Trump came along. Trump’s war on the Republican makes Watergate look tame by comparison. Even Nixon hit a point where he knew it was over and resigned which was beneficial to the country. I foresee no remorse or redemption with Trump.
And that’s how long we will be waiting for Elon to share any of his wealth.
May the evil of slavery and white supremacy be forever banished from this earth. Let us never forget all the African Americans who have suffered at its hands and the violence and terror done in its name. A better future means we must address our past.
We should amend the Constitution to 1) abolish the electoral college and 2) create a People’s Presidential Recall Mechanism. 1 amendment so the people can directly elect the President and remove them if we so chose. Our sovereignty supersedes Congress but especially the Electoral College.
“Limited government” was just a distraction for Republicans trying to disguise their authoritarian agenda. Republicans in Congress should be ashamed of what they allow Trump to do. They have forfeited power to him and paved the way for an authoritarian take over. Your true colors are quite clear.
Dear Congress and All Elected Officials, For our 250th birthday I’d like you to do your Constitutional Duty and remove Trump from office. He should be tried, convicted and imprisoned for the hundreds of crimes he has committed against the people of this country. Sincerely, The People
Let’s play connect the dots. Trump’s White House UFC fight streamed on Paramount Plus. I’m sure that’s not related to the merger with Warner Brothers that was just approved. These media oligarchs weren’t buying influence with the regime. I’m sure it’s coincidence, not the stench of corruption.
DHS secretary refuses to say ICE won’t be at polling locations this fall. Since when is ICE involved in elections? Sounds like election interference and voter intimidation. There is no legal justification or jurisdiction. Let the lawsuits begin. Funny, we didn’t have these issues before Trump.
I don’t want to sully the great Alice Cooper’s name but this image needed to be brought out my head and into the world. Your hoarding of wealth is sociopathic.
So I heard upon becoming the worlds first Trillionaire Elon Musk immediately used all of his money to feed the hungry, cloth the poor and provide medicine to the sick and used his vast sums to help people everywhere. Oh wait no… he just bought more influence and bitched about taxes.
