I just figured out why Rump tore down the East Wing and is replacing it with a ballroom: He intends to steal even more

top secret documents and needs a more convenient place to hide them than the ballroom at Mar-a-Lago. Easier access, plus, he intends to stay in the White House permanently, so . . . !

The extra-valuable top-secret documents that Rump steals will be squirreled away in his new presidential bunker under the new White House ballroom, safe and secure until he has the opportunity to sell them to Putin, Kim Jung Un, Xi, whoever pays the most. This will be MUCH handier than burying America's most sensitive, top secret national security documents on his golf course with his old dead wife or where his new dead wife will be buried if she doesn't keep her trap shut. Better be careful around staircases in those high heels, Melania! Just sayin'.

But seriously, is ANYONE in the government trying to keep track of the whereabouts of the top-secret documents that Rump hasn't already stolen?

We need to descend upon Republican Congressmembers' local and Washington, DC, offices. Peaceful, but LOUD, mass protests

That is all.

What are we going to do if Rump attacks Greenland?! This is feeling not "if," but "when," just like Venezuela.

And I wonder if Rump is more than just a useful idiot to Putin, but an actual Russian agent. What would delight Putin more than a war between the US and Europe? Nothing!

When Ashli Babbit was shot and killed while crawling through a window at the Capitol on Jan 6 in order to hunt down

and injure or kill members of Congress and Vice President Pence, I don't recall any Republicans saying, "She brought this on herself." Instead, she was and still is hailed as a hero, a martyr.

And now ICE is shooting teenagers in the goddamn eye. I'm sure their excuse will be the same for this teen and for all protesters they maim and kill: "They brought this on themselves."

Rest in power, Renee Nicole Good.

A suggestion for those considering moving to a blue state (or another country): Move to a swing state instead.

If we can get enough Dems to move to these states, we can turn them blue:

Arizona
Georgia
Michigan
Nevada
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Wisconsin

That said, I understand completely if you can't or don't want to move for any of a number of reasons (finances, family and friends, etc.) because I am staying in this ruby red state (Montana), ride or die. I love Montana and the people here that much.

Seems like our side's failure to take the bait is making ICE ramp up the violence. They want to push us to the breaking

point. I'm sure the craziness will reach a crescendo right before the midterms. God help America.

It just occurred to me what Mark Kelly as president would mean for our country: Gabby Giffords as First Lady!!!

WOOO HOOO!!!

How exquisite would THAT be?????

I have chills (the good kind!) this morning, reading all of my fellow DU members posting in defense of Sen. Mark Kelly.

This feels like a "La Marseillaise"–scene-from-Casablanca moment. We will prevail over the cruel, disgusting pervert currently squatting in the White House and all of his equally cruel, disgusting minions.

Thank you, Senator Kelly, for this "Victor Laszlo" moment! Thank you and all of the so-called "Seditious Six" for standing up for the Constitution and for all of our service members!

An idea for our response on Election Day, 2028, if Rump declares martial law, seizes the ballot boxes, and

arrests—or worse, shoots—protesters:

Spread the word in the two months BEFORE Election Day 2028 that people should begin prepping for a long-running national general strike. Act like it's the pandemic all over again and prepare to stay home for three months or more if Rump goes full-on military dictatorship and refuses to accept a Democratic presidential victory. As many of us as possible will stay home and not work, not shop, not anything.

Yes, there will be millions of people who will not be able to not work, shop, shelter in place. But if enough millions of us can do this, we could shut down the country.

And yes, this is drastic and seemingly impossible, and no, I haven't even begun to think this all the way through, but what else can we do if Rump uses the military to keep the presidency?

I am sooo ELATED over the Dems' sweeping victories!!! I hope we have another No Kings rally before the midterms!

I think the No Kings we just had was an incredibly unifying and historic event that fired us all up, and then the election day yesterday gave us all something to either vote for, if we lived where key elections were taking place, or to root for, if we lived elsewhere.

GO DEMS! KICK SOME FASCIST ASS!!!
