DjT's loyalists in the party formerly known as 'Republican'...

"Right on the heels of a federal appeals court decision that makes Donald Trump prosecutable for crimes he committed while in office, the 77-year-old’s cronies are doing everything in their power to shield the former president. This comes just one day after the decision came down in the form of a hastily-crafted resolution presented by Matt Gaetz and Elise Stefanik.

In the resolution, they proclaim for all to hear that Donald Trump did not commit an insurrection. Since they say it’s so, the rest of us should just follow in form, right?

There actually was an attempted insurrection back in January of 2021 and quite a few of us watched it happen from afar. We sat, glued to our various screens, as a MAGA mob forced its way into our nation’s Capitol, chanting for blood and attempting to reach our lawmakers. The mob’s attempt to overthrow the democratic process failed, but our attempts to see them pay for their crimes will not ⏤ no matter how hard the far-right wants them to."

" We can certainly trust Marj (Greene) to recognize a liar when she sees one, since she’s face-to-face with one every time she looks in a mirror. "

To those wondering whether or when DjT would debate Biden:

The debate is ongoing... and growing louder: The polar contrast between the felonious fascist and our genuinely democratic president grows exponentially by the day.

"Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and his Maga Republican friends. It’s time for Republicans in the Congress to show a little courage, to show a little spine, to make it clear to the American people that you work for them, not for anyone else."
-Pres. Biden, on 2/6/2024

Voters of Tomorrow, a Gen Z-led nonpartisan organization...

that harnesses the political power of young Americans and previously spearheaded the “S.W.I.F.T. Initiative” to fight Ticketmaster and other monopolies, today issued the following statement on Donald Trump’s “holy war” against Taylor Swift:

'Taylor warned us that the haters gonna hate, and we know all too well that Trump is America’s biggest hater. Now, the former president is attacking Taylor herself — but we are not surprised. Gen Z knew Trump was trouble when he walked into the White House and waged war on our abortion rights, voting rights, and safety. Of course, he can’t help but go after our favorite cultural icon, too. While Trump claims he is ‘more popular’ than Taylor, he is not fooling anyone. Taylor is headlining the most successful tour in history, drawing crowds that Trump only sees in his wildest dreams.'

How many other people think that DjT's party's push for him to run against Biden...

by winning the primaries ...could be their way of ousting him from politics, because they know that Biden will beat the shit out of him in 2024?!

DjT, and his decades-long battles against people of color, LGBTQ people

Jews, Muslims and assertive women...
will soon fall, like a deflated blimp, shredded to smithereens by the countless ripping at his cover by the defenders of democracy and the increasingly aware American majority.
The bright, garish paint will melt.
There will be a shrinking shadow in a cold cell.

If we, the people, remember, observe and vote.

Biden may turn out to be the U. S. president who saved democracy..

... or our last democratically elected president.
We must stand with him in 2024...
or we fall without him.

In a democratic nation, the Constitution should trump Trump (14.3)...


...but if courts, congressmen and too many voters believe that Trump trumps the Constitution....
We'd better vote en masse for democracy while we still can!
