Immunity
Let’s dig into that.
We WANT many things to happen,
But here is my over riding Question:
What. Crimes. Are. YOU. Proposing. Biden. Commit?
A🧵For Thought
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1
SCOTUS created an utterly complete morass of the “Immunity Decision”.
No doubt about that!
In their Zealotry to defend Donald J. Trump,
As I have told you before,
They Made Their Own Power Grab.
Self Appointed themselves as Kings.
THOUGHT will defeat them,
NOT DESIRE
I see so many that I know and love calling for President Biden to do X, Y, or Z.
Please know I love your Fighting Spirit.
Please know I understand and agree with your desire to take the gloves off.
Please know I fully agree we are in a gutter fight for democracy.
I’m begging you Right Here, Right Now,
I understand your anger!
I understand your Desire for Justice!
I understand your sense of Righteousness has been violated
AND that SCOTUS just defenestrated Justice -
Like Putin does to those who nay say against him.
Yet I MUST Ask Again:
What. Crimes. Do YOU. Wish. Biden. Would. OFFICIALLY. Commit?

SCOTUS ruled that “private” crimes, those not committed as “official duties” are not off limits from prosecution.
The CRUX of it is- ONLY the Courts,
And therefor eventually ALWAYS SCOTUS can decide “official-ity”.
Let’s begin with a thought experiment, a hypothetical:
I have seen many people express they wish for Biden to arrest the Far Right Arm of SCOTUS.
Why not? Immunity now right?
Okay.
Let’s “Game That Out!”
Really put thought into the consequences.
We will set aside the fact that no President actually has the power to arrest anyone and they have to work through the Justice Department which can tell them to “Go fish” if they want.
Immunity might cover that.
So now you have 5 SCOTUS Justices sitting in the hoosegow.
Constitution grants them Lifetime appointments.
We Are Literally Trying To STOP A Candidate For President
That has said he wants to “suspend” parts of the Constitution.
But sure, go on. Tell Biden to act like Trump.
Better go breaking even more laws in not permitting them to have access to communication of any kind while in prison.
If you don’t they will just write or communicate in some way that they are NOW In Session and make a Unified SCOTUS ruling against their imprisonment.
Unified?
Oh absolutely!
Even the most liberal of sitting SCOTUS Justices,
CURRENTLY or in the Future, would rule that they cannot be thrown in prison without Due Process.
Due Process is one of the very FOUNDATIONAL reasons we split from England in the first place!
Understand:
When Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus, he did so through Congress.
Congress actually passed the Bill and there was much discussion and consternation about it at the time!
Enough so, it only took about a year to pardon almost all imprisoned by it.
For those who may not recall that particular controversy from their History classes,
((Hopefully it was taught at least in passing!))
I will include the Wiki page here as a refresher only.
There are a ton of articles and books on the matter. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_Co…
Setting even that SCOTUS would in a nutshell spring themselves from jail, what else?
How do you spell -
D I V I S I O N ?
Some may Cheer.
YOU may Cheer.
Yet we see how fast the Media and Pundits wish to discard Biden just for ONE BAD NIGHT.
If he were to act like a Dictator?
I get it!
We all need to voice our frustration and play “the wishing game” now and then.
One thing:
I know they present it as a so called “Plan”,
But what do you think Project 2025’s “Mandate for Leadership” REALLY IS?
A “wish-list” for the Far Right. That’s What!
Want to see how fast WE THE PEOPLE rise up against a Dictator?
Forget President Biden, have ANY President act in such a way as what many of you are wishing for!
This is America.
The Far Right is doing all they can to convince you a Dictatorship is the way to go.
Don’t Be One!
I know by writing this many will get angry with me.
Sorry.
You know how much I love presenting the Brutal Truth.
Might even have to see about trademarking that.🤣
It is a Brutal Truth that there are no Easy Answers my friends.
Head Down.
Do. The. Work!
We already know the very hard work that has to be done.
Talking to “unlikely voters”.
Educating as many as possible about Project 2025.
Reminding them of the true horrors of the “Trump Years”.
Showing them who Trump really is!
Work, work, work.
Yet it is work well worthwhile.
Wishing and Dreaming is fine.
Wishing and Dreaming is a productive and healthy outlet of Righteous Anger.
Yet,
When we post on Social Media our Wishes and Dreams,
Others will begin to agree with us and may not be informed to understand why those can
ONLY
Be Wishes and Dreams.
My Friends,
You’re REALLY going to hate me for this,
Honestly HAS TO BE SAID:
When others do not understand we are just voicing our Wishes and Dreams,
They take them up as DEMANDS.
Demands just as bad as if not worse than Project 2025 because we begin to lose our very soul.
I won’t have that!
I dearly hope you won’t have that either.
Like the Bible or not, the verse:
“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”,
Contains a Vast Amount of Wisdom.
If you are still with me let’s Shout Together:
WE
Demand Better,
Even of ourselves when Despair leads to Darkness.
WE
Stand Together,
Because Project 2025 Must be defeated.
WE
Will. Vote. Them. OUT!
Because a Blue Wave will Sweep Away would be Dictators.
BELIEVE IT!

I am Righteously Outraged!
I am Spitting Mad!
And in this🧵you are going to hear why.
And in this🧵I ask fellow Mental Health Professionals to Concur Loudly.
And in this🧵I am going to SHOUT Straight Up Facts!
Listen up!
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1
It’s in my freaking bio, though many don’t understand the implications of it:
I. Am. A. Former. Mental. Health. Professional!
Former ONLY because Cancer and further disabilities preclude me from keeping a schedule of any kind to continue to work.
Those skills I learned, trained, honed -
I did so AFTER having studied the way people “tick” for a lifetime before my degree.
I have seen “the Debate”.
I have seen the George Stephanopoulos Interview.
I have seen far more.
There. Is. Not. One. Thing. Wrong. With. Biden’s. Mind.

Are YOU
Falling for Russian Propaganda,
Listening to Billionaires who wish to Rule,
Or Panicking because Despair has broken your Thinking?
Hint:
A TON of you are doing so without realizing it,
And this🧵will prove it.
Buckle Up Buttercups!

While I spend my time sitting here, thinking, writing, wearing out metal keyboards that are less than 5 months old😆🤣
I often listen to Podcasts and News.
Last Sunday, Keith Olbermann reminded us of some History YOU need to be aware of.
Let’s dig into it.
The Year: 1864
There was a Republican President up for reelection that year.
His Party worked extremely hard to replace him and talk him into dropping out.
You might have heard of him:
President Abraham Lincoln.

A friend highlighted some truly horrendous statistics today.
We need to talk about them.
To do so, we must also talk about Zealotry and Fanaticism.
This is a
🧵About the Death Cult
The GOP has become.
I will even make a prediction at the end.
A🧵
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1
It is not often, but occasionally I will include Dictionary Definitions within my🧵’s.
When I do it is for Complete Clarity, and in hopes of giving you the vernacular needed to describe what is happening.
I do so now: Image
Fanaticism is generally interchangeable with Zealotry.
When they are used in conjunction,
It provides further emphasis and heightens the distaste most have for extremism.
Most dictionaries will point to the root word: Fanatic.
This is spot on: Image

The moment I saw this Narcissistic Attempt at humor,
I knew I would have to write an entire🧵about it.
Why?
Because it is one of THE KEYS to understanding
EVERYTHING Trumpian, the current GOP,
And FAR More.
Let’s get into it.
A🧵
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1
I’ll give you the TLDR up front:
“Everything is about ME! Who cares what happens AFTER ME!”
But
There is so much more contained in this pathetic “joke”.
Please continue reading to find out what.
Some of it you may find surprising if you have not been paying VERY close attention.
Very beginning of the clip:
“Uh Christians go to church, but they don’t VOTE that much.” -
Listen closely, you can actually HEAR the Whining tone at the end.
That statement alone says a few things Extremely Loud if you pay close enough attention.

This is not the🧵I wanted to make today or any day.
We are going to talk!
We are going to talk about False Prophets and False Forgiveness.
I will NOT proselytize, but I WILL Inform.
Sit Down.
LISTEN if you are even capable.
A🧵
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1 Image
Let’s start with a minor tongue twister shall we?
“Feckless Falsephets Find Foolish Followers For False Forgiveness.”
Today’s episode brought to you by the letter “F”.
If we were in school, those above would receive a grade worse than “F”!
🤬🤬
It often takes me hours to write a🧵for a myriad of reasons.
The very first Tweet I saw logging on today was of a Dear Friend relaying Her experience, reliving it in part. 💔
Truth be told, I almost QT’ed her, but it is HER story to tell, NOT MINE!

My deepest apologies to all.
When you ASSUME the “Christo” Fascists have put forth a Bill that will be shut down for it’s extremism,
You. Take. Your. Eyes. Off. The. Ball.
I did that.
A🧵of Explanation and Pleading
#ProudBlueEditorials #DemVoice1
I’ve long said Oklahoma needs the Cleansing Spotlight of Truth shown upon it.
Often lamented that National Media pays so little attention to the goings on in my state opting for the higher populated states to highlight the cruelty of fascism.
In all honesty, I pay more attention to other states myself.
NOT just because I have no local news stations because I have “cut the cable” cord.
NOT because I refuse to pay for the sheer propaganda that has become any local paper.
No.
