I have no doubts, that the spineless, feckless, corruptly complicit republicans will make Blanche Attorney General, the most corrupt lawyer who answers only to Trump. Sigh. I’m so sick of this corruption.

Remember when Todd Blanche said that the Epstein Files are done, no more will be released? The display of abject corruption of justice by Trump and Blanche would be astonishing in a country like Russia or China. But in America, it's jaw-dropping, nobody seems to be doing anything to stop it.

This didn’t happen by accident. Republicans at every level enabled it, defended it, and wrote the rules that let it happen. Everything from the corruption to abusing power to trying to destroy democracy, Republicans have not lifted a finger to try to rein Trump in, even though they could. Americans must hold them responsible in November. Flush out the corruption and incompetence! We will need serious reconstruction of Congress. As this shirt says 👇

Of course they don’t obey the judge, there are no consequences whatsoever for not following the orders!

They can murder people with no consequences!

It’s because the regime’s mantra is “try and stop me”.

Their main reason is they think donnie dementia will pardon them for all their sins. Apparently they failed to notice he didn't pardon everybody in his last term. That orange Kool Aid must be intoxicating as hell.

Every day is a new fresh hell with this regime. It's maddening that they continue to get away with such blatant criminality. Thank you Brian, great analysis here. Please be safe out there 🙏💙🕊

Call your Senators, email your Senators, send letters to your Senators, and then do it all over again. Get your friends and family to email, call and send letters, have them get their friends to call, email and write letters!!!!! Blanche is the least deserving of any of the appointments thus far, and none of them have been deserving.

NO, TO TODD BLANCHE.

The GOP won't stand in his way. They've wanted authoritarianism for at least 60 years.

We love you, BTC! We are supporting the Candidates REGARDLESS OF PARTY among their rivals campaigning to Hold any one of the People's Local (State) and General (Union of State-Governments in Congress assembled) Offices of Our Governments:

Who move first to acknowledge the "Supreme and Original Will" (John Marshall, the Great Chief Justice, 1803) of the People to (Self) Govern that is the "whole fabric upon which the American system has been erected" (Marshall).

As soon as just one (1) of the Candidates running for 3-4% of the Offices of Our Governments up for reelection this November makes a convincing public statement that they are onboard » up to 15% of November's voters will shift in their favor » which is more than the margin in nearly every contested race of the upcoming General Election.

This will all but instantly neutralize special interests and put our Natural Rights back in the able and rightful hands of the People--where they reside anyway!

Please share this and Join US!

[For an end to Citizens United and to see the Epstein Files fully disclosed once and for all ~ Delivering the expectation of Natural Justice to victims, as well as supporting survivors and respecting our veterans who have endowed us with the privilege of doing so!]

Why can't candidates swear under penalties of perjury as they answer questions, and not avoid them, AND if they lie, BE PUNISHED and removed from office.

They just made this a rule in Wales. If you lie, you lose your seat.

Categories in our daily language.

There are descriptive words we all use daily without necessarily understanding their meaning. If I were to ask someone to explain capitalism, they might say it offers us an opportunity to succeed. That isn't the definition of capitalism. I have listed terms we use daily but don't define accurately.

Capitalism:

is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their use for the purpose of obtaining profit.

Feudalism:

A way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor

Monarchy

A hereditary form of government in which political power is legally passed on to the monarch's family members, with a head of state who rules for life.

Aristocracy:

A form of government that places power in the hands of a small, privileged ruling class, the aristocrats.

Anarchy

A form of society without rulers. As a type of stateless society,

Autocracy

A system of government in which supreme power (social and political) is concentrated in the hands of one person or polity,

Fascism

is characterized by support for a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived interest of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy

Communism

is a political and economic ideology whose goal is the creation of a communist society, centered on common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, and on allocating products in society based on need. It entails the absence of private property and social classes, and ultimately of money and the state.

Marxism

It posits that human history is driven by class struggles, specifically between the bourgeoisie (the wealthy owners of the means of production) and the proletariat (the working class). Marx outlined a transitional stage where the working class seizes state power and the means of production to dismantle capitalist structures and redistribute wealth

Oligarchy

is a form of government in which power rests with a small number of people. Leaders of such regimes are often referred to as oligarchs, and generally are characterized by having titles of nobility or high amounts of wealth

Socialism

It is an economic and political philosophy encompassing diverse economic and social systems characterized by social ownership of the means of production, rather than private ownership.

Social democracy

Social democracy holds that all citizens should be legally entitled to certain social rights. These include universal access to public services such as education, health care, workers' compensation, public transportation, and other services, including childcare and care for older people. Social democracy is associated with the labor movement and supports workers' collective bargaining rights.

Great article BTC! The TRUTH will set us FREE!!!

The Senate would be foolish to give up all their powers, like the House did, especially to someone as crooked and conniving as tRump's henchman, Blanche. If they confirm him, they are basically giving tRump and Blanche absolute power over everyone!

Our country was established to have three equal branches of government, for the specific reason to not have a dictator, king, or demigod ever! Either tRump and Blanche have enormous blackmail on all the congress members (Epstein files?), or threatening them with other dirt. Congress is not smart if they give into this type of blackmail, as only Truth can defeat evil and the tRump and Blanche regime is truly Evil and a danger to all of us and our Democracy! Congress, please do your jobs and protect We, the people and our Democracy! We, the people support you against the Regime!!!!

What’s really disheartening is that the past won’t catch up to Blanche. So what if he is disbarred? He’s already a multi-millionaire and has a lucrative future as a host on Fox News or one of the right-wing networks or in a right-wing think tank. There really is no justice.

Another excellent essay, Brian. Stay safe. No protesting.

What do you mean by no protesting actually?

THIS is the new DOJ. Submission. It's all about submission. Nothing more.
