BREAKING NEWS: Trump announces Merrick Garland will be his pick for Attorney General.

“He’s the perfect pick. A pick like you’ve never seen picked. Some people are saying, the most perfect pick in the million years that people have been picking people. If foot dragging was an Olympic sport, he would be a 10 time Gold Medalist.”

Or not.

I chose the “last million years” because, during one deposition the female attorney asked “ so if you’re a star, you just grab pussies” and he said “ well, it’s been that way for the last million years “ 😝

It's done...We must use what we have left and throw it daily back in the faces of the Supreme Court....Apply/redirect our rage into fighting them continual with confrontation, protesting and voting Biden for President....Win both House and Senate as well in November...

American voters are not stupid....we have outrageous information to present in a national campaign... all the insane things happening....Just don't let the media normalize them anymore....

Voice our outrage to all the criminal and political corruption and shout..." We are not going to take it anymore".

Since MLK in Memphis, since Bobby Kennedy, since Vietnam, SINCE CHICAGO ‘68, since Nixon, since Reagan, since fucking GEORGE BUSH, since Desert Storm, since Desert Bullshit, since TFG, and on and on and yes, vast swaths of American voters ARE stupid and damn proud of it and it all gets worse and worse and worse and there is no bottom.
I organized the first Vietnam protest that I ever heard of in Birmingham in 1970, and all of us, with permits and peace in our hearts got our heads bashed in within 10 minutes of marching,
by Birmingham cops with Billy clubs. I redirected my rage then and I’ve never stopped protesting and redirecting, rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
I’ve been around for 72 years and a Democrat in my DNA (NOT a Dixiecrat!) from the moment I said to my mother, driving around in Greenville,South Carolina, “look at that poor colored lady” when I saw a cold and disheveled and hungry person at a bus stop. She corrected me,gently and with no hate, just a genteel Southern upbringing: “There are no colored ladies , son. Just colored women”.
So, there’s no “c’mon now” for me, not in the twilight of my life, not in the sunset of my eternal optimism that things would be better. And in many ways they have. But in so many incredibly important ways, they’re worse, and all that’s left is me, redirecting rage, until the light flickers out for me.

Our current massive political crisis is very threatening as it is distrupting our basic foundation.

Waiting for tRump Trials is not enough.....Our Democratic Leaders need to start shouting from the roof tops...We the people must stand up to this covert war within...
