So, what is it going to take to stop him?

Seriously, what is it going to take? He is beyond insane, he's destroying our country and our democracy by the day. He's alienating our allies, committing crimes on a world-wide scale, initiating a war of choice without going through proper channels and getting away with nearly all of it.

I am well beyond thinking our elected officials will step up, show some damn strength, courage and integrity and put a stop to this.

I really think it is going to take "We the People" to save our democracy. This evil cabal cannot go on with merely a weak slap on the wrist.

So, do we have a citizens' shutdown where we don't buy anything, don't go to school, don't go to work (essential personnel excepted)? What is it going to take to save the United States of America?

My heart is breaking for our country and our democracy.

That’s what Minneapolis did- the city basically shut down for a week or two. No school, not stores, etc.

I think if Dem leadership balks at impeachment after the midterms, the CPC will be in open rebellion, Jefferies could even lose his speakership.

The Republicans are taking down the Republic and submitting their former constituents to dictatorial takeover.

The Republican Party is gone. They should no longer be referred to as such. They are a Fascist party.
