Liebe Leute ❤️ Breaking ⚠️ BVerfG Beschluss mit Beurteilung ⚠️Blog ➡️Spektrum: extreme Enttäuschung, nüchterne Relativierung, begründeter Stolz auf Erreichtes, Perspektiven für zukünftige Schritte 🍀»Schutzverweigerungs-Notstand« 🚩 https://t.co/gxPrWkfSststartnext.com/bverfg-vs-ifsg…
Nach erfolgreicher inhaltlicher und formaler Vorprüfung durch die Präsidialräte beider Senate und die durchaus nicht selbstverständliche, da sehr voraussetzungsreiche Aufnahme in das Verfahrensregister, erging seitens des BVerfG der Beschluss einer unbegründeten Nichtannahme.
Eine Beurteilung des Beschlusses erfordert eine differenzierte, komplexe Auseinandersetzung, da die Verfassungsbeschwerde mit der zugehörigen Problemlage auf verschiedenen Ebenen und aus verschiedenen Perspektiven betrachtet werden kann und sollte. ➡️Bitte Blog lesen⚠️ Auszüge:
Two years ago today Republicans orchestrated a volent insurrection on our nation’s Capitol.
The same people who supported the January 6th attack are now holding our House of Representatives hostage and rendering it non-functional by refusing to elect of Speaker of the House.
The same people who supported the January 6th attack are now holding our House of Representatives hostage and rendering it non-functional by refusing to elect of Speaker of the House.
Their intent on Jan 6th was to murder members of congress and/or the Vice President in hopes this would allow for the declaration of Martial Law, move the process outside the boundaries of constitutional precedent and Trump could establish himself as America’s first dictator.
Today the Republican Party’s intent to forcefully transition our country away from operating as a representative democracy is still ongoing. The Republican ideal that a white minority rule should be accepted as the norm is on full display in the House
Watching now!

"In terms of the type of coup attempt, the complex nature of this event leads it to be categorized as both an attempted auto-coup and as an attempted dissident coup, reflecting the distinctive activities of different actors involved in the event."
NEW: The U.S. budget deficit was sliced in half for fiscal 2022, the biggest drop in history.

Dems should push this statistic over and over again and don't let MAGA Republicans talk about President Biden "uncontrolled spending"
BREAKING: Lauren Boebert just revealed MAGA Republican plan to install Jim Jordan as the Speaker of the House if they take over congress.
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
Here:
If Donald Trump decides to ditch Kevin McCarty and supports Jim Jordan for Speaker, all he needs is 10-20 MAGA members of Congress to block McCarthy from becoming speaker. It's definitely a real possibility.
Imagine being born in a secular #democracy & agitating, organizing, & pursuing establishment of a #theocracy — claiming ‘persecution’ bc a majority want to keep Church & State separate. #USA #religiousliberty #Christian #Christianist #DefendDemocracy @americansunited @RNS
Clearly we don’t all agree on who the ‘us’ is in #USA, who belongs, who matters, who should vote, what I means to be, ‘an American.’ pewresearch.org/religion/2021/…
#FirstAmendment to the #Constitution mandates that the #USA shall have no official religion.
Despite this, about 20% say the federal government should stop enforcing the separation of church and state a that the Constitution was inspired by God. #DefendDemocracy

According to a new book by Politico’s R. Bade, Mitch McConnel was seriously considering voting to convict Trump in the impeachment trial. However, after watching the amount of support Trump still had from GOP senators, he changed his mind. What a coward! He told Liz Cheney:
"We just disagree on the tactics." Let’s just ignore him”
His vote will go down in history as one of the most consequential votes in recent history. Because of Mitch's cowardice, not only did Trump not fade away, he's just emboldened Trump & his total grip on the GOP. For shame!

BREAKING: Liz Cheney SLAMS Trump for threatening violence if indicted, saying, "It is hard to see this as anything but a direct threat to our Constitution, to our republic, and a credible one at that. One can only wonder, is this where the Republican Party will go next?"
"The prosecution is inappropriate because MAGA will violently oppose it. All of us have an obligation to acknowledge what is happening. Those activities that I have just listed for you, those are the erosion of the rule of law and they are the undermining of our constitutional"
“Our constitutional system has been defended and handed down to us by every generation since 1789. It comes to us with a duty of inheritance. It doesn’t belong to us. It belongs to our children and our grandchildren. And we must not be the generation that allows it to unravel."
Marco Rubio is the Vice-Chair of the Senate Committee on Intelligence. Unlike many other MAGA Republicans, he knows very well that what Trump did with the classified documents is inexcusable & a grave danger to our national security, yet he continues to defend TFG
Infuriating!
Infuriating!

1/7 To paraphrase Clausewitz, GOP views politics as war by other means. Hell, they view it as an opportunity for violent oppression. We need to be on offense and whining over how money making DC Dem consultants suck at messaging ain't gonna get it done.

2/7 Simply put DNC's @harrisonjaime and national DC Dems like @SenSchumer are not having any epiphanies in 2022. So we're gonna have to organize and go offense for them within our own communities. From the ground up we MUST frame this as a fight between good and evil.

The 5 most important races in the country right now. A thread:
1. Liz Cheney, Wyoming, the Vice-Chair of the 1/6 committee is running in the GOP primary against a Trump-backed candidate who seeks to punish Cheney for standing up to Trump.
Vote Liz Cheney in the GOP primary!

2. Evan McMullin, former "Never Trump" independent presidential candidate, is running for Senate in Utah against the Trump-sycophant-incumbent Mike Lee.
The Democratic party of UT endorsed McMullin.

In November the choice couldn't be clearer: Vote for @AdamForColorado over a deranged, anti-democracy Lauren Boebert.

The whole coup plot was based on a lie, Trump did it anyway. The lie hasn't gone away, people who believe it (or pretend to believe it) are seeking (or have already won) offices of power. #DefendDemocracy
I forgot about how powerful that press conference was. Dec 1, 2020. Cheney asks for us all to focus on the evidence, not the politics.

Of human sacrifice, and parents teares,
Though, for the noise of drums & timbrells loud
Thir childrens cries unheard, that past through fire
To his grim Idol.”

@POTUS is a stalwart defender of democracy at home and abroad. Shamefully, nearly all Republicans and a couple turncoat Dems are at least one of these:

This is not the America I want. Is it the America you want? Are you going to passively sit back and allow a depraved cabal of white supremacists, misogynists and gun fetishists backed by corrupt oligarchs overpower America? Get involved and #DefendDemocracy.
Action is empowering. And we will NEVER passively accept Fascism in the United States of America
Lol @StateDept’s factsheet exposing #Russia’s propaganda tactics was so good, the Kremlin responds w/ silly finger quotes and whataboutism🙄
But saying US did it too doesn’t refute & kinda confirms Fact 4: Russia is using disinformation to create a pretext for war in #Ukraine.

#Russia doesn’t even try refuting Fact 1: Russia invaded #Ukraine in 2014, occupied Crimea. Instead it’s the same old propaganda denying Ukraine CHOSE #democracy: US/NATO backed a fascist coup & forced poor Russia to invade. That’s the Kremlin MO: Lie, Blame, You made me do it.🙄

They are anti-vaxxers . Anti-vaxxers are not harmless; they threaten and engage in violence while promoting lies that endanger lives. Just like white supremacists, which whom they now ally. We must reject both. #StopAntiVaxViolence
