I Guess I'm A Doomer But I Will Fight Till I Die [View all]

I plead guilty to preaching the doom of Merrick Garland taking too long to act. He only acted when the J6 committee shamed him into action.

The people back then, and now, who were bashing me for attacking Garland are the ones who gave rise to Trump 2.0. Garland should have arrested Trump when he knew He had classified documents in his bedroom and shitter, but he waited 11 months for Trump to return them.

Today, I see that Trump is breaking the law, how is DOGE even legal? Trump is ignoring the justice system. Trump has been using Signal and personal phones for government communications since he was re-elected, violating the espionage Act and federal records preservation Act.

Democrats are in the minority I get it, so they need to doing town halls every chance they have because it is up to us the people to save our Democracy.

Get out and protest, push your Reps to act, donate or join Indivisible, donate to Democrats who are fighting, like AOC and Bernie, Murphy, Booker.

What are the Timid 10 doing? The Senators who gave Trump what he wanted, the CR. Non-doomers told me that passing the CR would protect Social Security, it is being gutted right now.
We needed to take a stand and fight and not pass the CR, but once again the non-doomers said to wait, just like they said to wait on Garland.

The best way forward now is town halls, is protesting, is calling our reps, is donating to people who are fighting.

I am a doomer because I report what is happening, the people who say the courts will save us are wrong, who say a hero will emerge to save us are wrong. We must save ourselves. We can’t wait for the next election.
