People shouted out the alarm, reported the truth, but were called "gloom & doomers."
Congress ceded its power to Krasnov - no oversight - Krasnov imposes tariffs, Congress investigates people who Krasnov tells them to investigate. Krasnov rescinds money that was voted on by Congress and made into laws. Krasnov owns Congressional Magats.
Krasnov controls the IRS - he ordered it to audit McCabe, Comey, and Strzok, and will order it to audit whoever else he decides. Krasnov has gutted the people at the IRS who audit millionaires and billionaires, they are free to cheat on their taxes.
DOJ is controlled by Krasnov. He has fired honest people working there, has fired honest prosecutors or caused them to resign, has appointed an AG who gets her orders from Krasnov, who prosecutes whoever Krasnov orders her to prosecute, even without cause.
The FBI is run by a man who helped Krasnov steal classified documents at the end of his 1st term. 25% of the FBI has been reassigned to work on finding undocumented immigrants taking them away from keeping us safe.
Our intelligence agencies are run by a pro-Putin stooge who will not provide truthful reports but will provide the intelligence reports that Krasnov demands she report.
Krasnov has gotten universities to cave to his demands, has gotten huge law firms to work pro-bono for him.
Soon the economic data we receive will be data that Krasnov wants to see.
Krasnov has purged over a dozen military generals and admirals, wants to restrict who can enlist in the military, has ordered the military to follow illegal/unconstitutional orders with deployments to our cities and by bombing boats and killing people without due process. Krasnov has also gutted the military's JAG officers, Krasnov decides what the military can do. Remember this, if Krasnov invokes the Insurrection Act, our Democracy is done. Watch out for a Reichstag fire. IMO Krasnov is taking orders from Putin.
When back in March I said that Democrats should take a stand and vote no on the CR until our social safety net was protected, I was told it would not look good politically, was told Social Security would be protected, well guess what, the BIG UGLY Death Bill has been made into law and the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 50,000 Americans will die every year because of loss of healthcare.
A Supreme Court that is owned by billionaires who put Krasnov above the law.
The dictatorship is not coming, we are in the middle of it in record time. I am not posting this to scare people and make them afraid I am posting this to make them angry, to stop talking about how everything will work out at the next election, to stop talking about how bad Krasnov is doing in the polls when the next election is being rigged right now. It is way past time to fight and we all need to get involved in whatever way. Many law firms have been fighting, Marc Elias, the ACLU, donate to them. Indivisible has been organizing protests, join them or donate to them. Let Congressional Democrats know you are behind them, tell them to keep fighting.
Release the Epstein files, release the Epstein autopsy.
We still can win, the majority of people on Obamacare are unwashed Magats, right now their premiums are going to double, believe it or not we can get unwashed Magats to help us throw out the billionaires. The majority of the cuts do not take effect until December 2026, but they will take effect and the majority of people on Medicaid and SNAP are unwashed Magats. I live among Magats and I make sure to tell them that.
We must win, it is up to us, the people. Maybe Pritzker, Newsom, Murphy, AOC, maybe not even a politician, can become the next Alexei Navalny, not a martyr, someone to organize and lead us. Remember this important fact, they are the minority.

When you call something a duck, they want to argue over the definition and nomenclature and taxonomy of said duck

(30,109 posts)When a KGB agent comes out and states that Trump had a code name in Russia, Krasnov, people don't want to believe it.
IMO Krasnov is taking orders from Putin, Putin couldn't have personally done a better job of dismantling our democracy than Krasnov did.
Looking at the polls is useless, a dictator doesn't give a shit about polls.
GOTV and we will throw the bums out is a true statement, if we have fair elections.
Krasnov is working very hard to enact the Insurrection Act and if that happens it's game over.
Not many responses to my thread.
I still get criticized for saying that Garland waited 11 months to search Mar-a-Lago.
