Pelosi said Senate Republicans had “embraced this darkest vision of power: that if the president believes his reelection is good for the country, he can then use any means necessary to win, with no accountability or consequences.”

Only posting one paragraph from the article which is brief anyway because that point is the very essence of the problem the definition of dictatorship and the predicament we find ourselves and our country in. Madame Speaker understands like few others and gets right to the point. The public must heed and plan accordingly. A dictator will seldom relinquish power at all, and never voluntarily.

Some former members of the intelligence community seemed to indicate things would be ok. I'm not seeing it.

1. They're like schoolyard bullies and thugs that terrorize their neighborhoods

For them, it all boils down to: "Me, stop? Come make me!"

[iluvtennis]

13. Exactly. nt

[democratisphere]

2. Nothing is OK.

The Executive, Congressional and Judicial Branches have all been corrupted by this criminal.

[Kurt V.]

12. this is truth. Willingly corrupted.

3. Man, we can't even get Moscow Mitch to pass

any election/voting security bills. He is sitting on at least 3 right now. How the Hell are we going to stop them from their continued cheating?

4. Demand that your state government

secure your elections and demand paper ballots to confirm your preference/vote.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. That's a great idea

pushing states, from Governors on down ... even inquiring at local or county level ... these are the places that policies are implemented and enforced.

7. And each state is in control of it's elections so if you want

action in having a free election, you have to go to the states. We have a pretty good system in my state, I vote a paper ballot, at home. A third of voters in this state do it by mail.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Me too. Do you live in CA?

[2naSalit]

15. Nope

Montana. We also have had for a century, anti corruption laws in the state with other transparency laws for the state government. We had this problem with the copper barons back then so the state came up with some very good solutions for it.

Those copper barons left some major environmental scars in this state that are still in mitigation. Just look at Butte, MT and ts history. Today I heard about a study where baby poop was studied from babies in Butte and the results are daunting as there were significantly high levels of heavy metals in the babies' poop. And that was compared to some polluted place in the Carolinas!

The Berkley pit, from more modern times, is still a superfund site today. The water is so acidic that there is a constant effort to deter waterfowl from landing in the water because it kills them. We lose a lot of birds there.

9. Thank you! I wanted to read the whole thing.

8. Drumpf is actively, continuously attacking all institutions. Putin must be ecstatic.

[Dem2theMax]

10. That needs to be on the front page of every newspaper and every website.

To Nancy.

[Kurt V.]

11. pelosi waited until there was a whistle blower to move on impeachment.

[Nikki28]

16. IT IS Really sad we have to

fight for out rights to vote. Moscow Turtle will do nothing about it because this is his revenge of US voting for a black president. I better leave it alone because my thoughts will go to Iran setting fore crackers all at Trumps golf court with all his friends including Fox news and Bill Barr.They have to clean their clock to rid us of all those crooks.

[Laelth]

17. Speak it, Madam Speaker!

Well said.

18. My husband was telling me this morning....

That the morons he works with only get their news from Facebook. The latest is a video showing Nancy ripping up trump's speech every time he mentions the military. Message: Pelosi hates our military. This is one of trump's own ads, and these people eat it up. Democrats hate the military, want no border security at all so anyone can come in, want free healthcare for "illegal aliens", etc etc.

This is what we're up against, and its big.

19. They're out for absolute power.

And they don't care who they stomp on in their quest to get it.
