1/ Let’s put aside political correctness and have the guts to discuss the obvious.
If MAGA militias, led by the Trump GOP, are intent on waging war against the US then let’s have at it NOW while Biden is still commander-in-chief NOT AFTER the #GOPFascists steal the WH in 2024. 2/The GOP STILL supports the traitor who attacked us on J6.
They STILL refuse to condemn the insurrectionists sitting in Congress and they STILL block all bills meant to protect the ballot.
And, even worse, they packed the SCOTUS w/zealots who support their FASCIST agenda.

Slippery slope: the rationale - that life begins at fertilization - what about pregnant women who drink, smoke, take drugs, or engage in other behaviors that might endanger that fetus?
Are they guilty of assault?
Should they be locked up in order to stop that assault? INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY!

FETAL PROTECTION CENTERS

A new market/revenue stream now opening for #GOPFascists and their dark money donors -
Lucrative government contracts available from the new Czar of Life at DHS who is now accepting resumes for ‘Aunt Lydias’ nation wide.

1/ Euphemisms help normalize these men!
Trump isn’t just ‘uniquely bad’; Trump is a fascist’.
A president who uses his pulpit to mislead the electorate isn’t just ‘dishonest’; he’s propagandist!
The press better show some guts before these GOP fascists steal the next election 2/GOP FASCISTS hide in plain sight behind sham elections that provide them with a ‘fig leaf’ of democratic legitimacy.
They exploit our ‘civility’ and ‘sense of fair play’;
Bend the law until it breaks; and
Hide behind euphemisms that normalize their treachery.

Alabama Sharpiegate! “If Trump went (this) far over a weather forecast, how far do you think he will go to remain President of the United States, and by extension, avoid the criminal prosecution that awaits him as soon as he is not?” thekingsnecktie.com/2019/09/19/kni… 1/“My fear is that while we sit here . . . treating this like a normal election. . . within the bounds of what we have always thought of as an orthodox American presidential contest-Trump and the GOP are . . .approaching it like a gang of armed robbers walking into a bank.”

1/The GOP is setting the stage to help Trump steal or derail the 2020 elections.
So there are really only two questions left:
1/How far will Trump go in order to stay in office and avoid indictment; and
2/How far will the GOP go to help him?
Here are my answers 👇 2/It is only common sense that when you tell a man who meets secretly w/dictators and owes his fortune to money laundering oligarchs, that the only way he can avoid prison is by staying in office, he will do anything to stay there. Absolutely anything.

1/Heres the question: why didn’t the Dem leadership challenge the constitutionality of that DOJ policy Trump is hiding behind to avoid indictment? And, worse, why did they mislead us by acting as if that policy is settled law- a policy that endangers all life on this planet?👇 2/The DOJ policy against indicting a sitting president creates a moral hazard of catastrophic proportions -it INCENTIVIZES a criminal president to abuse his power in order to remain in office and it allows a criminal president to hide behind his office and run for re-election!

1/Very few people realize that our nuclear deterrence protocol,enacted by Congress during the Cold War, gives a president the unilateral power to not only respond to a nuclear attack BUT to launch a nuclear attack WITHOUT CONSULTING ANYONE AT ALL and FOR ANY REASON AT ALL 2/In 2018 bipartisan bills to check this unlimited presidential power were blocked by McConnell-so the man who dozens of psychiatrists say has a dangerous mental illness and who is facing criminal indictment the moment he leaves office, has the power to launch a nuclear war.

1/This is a pivotal moment in our democracy. In 2016, Trump ‘won’ the election by suspiciously close margins in just 3 swing states. Instead of contesting those results, the stunned Democratic leadership simply conceded. WE MUST NOT LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN👇
But, instead of laying the groundwork to demand recounts and forensic audits, the Dems are ignoring this threat again-a threat made worse by a criminal president hiding behind his office to avoid indictment and a corrupt, complicit GOP Congress determined to keep him there.

1/The DOJ policy Trump hides behind to avoid indictment is based on an OLC OPINION written by staff attorneys who, when ordered to craft opinions meant to protect the president never fail to do just that-here’s the most recent bit of garbage they spit out
Does anyone doubt that this OLC opinion has one goal - protecting the president? And does anyone doubt that @RepRichardNeal will fight this power grab by the executive branch? Why then isn’t @RepJerryNadler challenging that DOJ POLICY Trump is hiding behind to avoid indictment?

1/Here is an article that makes a clear case for challenging Mueller’s decision not to indict Trump for Obstruction of Justice- our Dem Reps should file suit immediately. justsecurity.org/59789/path-pro… via @just_security 2/Savoy argues that the OLC memo’s justification for immunity depends on whether impeachment is a viable alternative to indictment and where, as now, impeachment is not an effective means for upholding the rule of law the Constitution requires indictment 👇

1/By not challenging the DOJ POLICY that shields a criminal president from indictment the Dems are agreeing that a criminal president may not only run for re-election but, while he’s hiding behind his office, he can make nominations to the Fed bench and even steal SCOTUS seats!😡 2/And the next logical step in this cover-up?Barr will undermine the counter intel report he is hiding from Congress by discrediting/intimidating those who created it. That report must be devastating not only to Trump but to all those GOP minions propping him up.

Trump’s base will be happy — or so he thinks. And that’s what matters most-OR PERHAPS THATS ALL THAT MATTERS. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/… 2/Excellent article that fails to connect the final dot. Trump must ‘please’ his base so, as Mulvaney points out, he can be re-elected. But why does Trump’s re-election outweigh the health care of tens of millions of Americans and jeopardize GOP Congressional seats in 2020? Why?

1/Trump and Putin have met at least 4 times and we still don’t know what they discussed -this the biggest red flag of all and yet our elected reps and the msm virtually ignore it.What did these nuclear armed thugs discuss? How to wield power in a pseudo democracy?👇 2/ In Putin’s so-called democracy, President Putin just passed a law that criminalizes ‘fake news’, censors the internet, and allows the State to jail those who criticize the government.

1/The ugliest fact to emerge from this shutdown is that America doesn’t pay its full time Federal workers a living wage- exposing an ugly reality that neither Congressional party seems particularly surprised by-especially a GOP now owned by dark money donors/oligarchs. 2/Here is a 6 minute video about the grotesque state of American wealth/income inequality with user friendly graphics that put this crisis in stark relief. Please take a moment to watch and retweet.

Our Founding Fathers had a fierce debate on how best to safeguard our nation from a tyrannical executive. It is this underlying debate that must inform our understanding of what is meant by the phrase ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’.
po.st/tumZWF via @SmithsonianMag The Founding Fathers wished to protect us from a president who
1/obtains his office through nefarious means;
2/misuses his power to circumvent checks on his criminality;
3/betrays the public trust thru ‘maladministration’ of the govt; and
4/otherwise violates the Constitution

“Fascism doesn’t come with a bang. It’s not a revolution. It moves like water, slowly eroding values,freedoms & ideals. It distorts perceptions & tells you we’ve never been better while it rounds up people, takes away their kids & rigs elections. . . . “@Julesitter Here’s an expansion of the Fascism checklist-as you can see, our government is rapidly meeting all the criteria of a fascist state. Please feel free to annotate this list with examples from the GOP/Trump fascist state,a regime bent on destroying the last vestiges of our democracy

1/ 2/This is how and why we lose - will the @HouseDemocrats @RepJerryNadler really predicate impeachment on winning over Republican voters? Voters who are a distinct minority of the electorate? Recent Gallop polls show that only 24% of Americans identify as Republicans!

1/They dont have the votes but they have the pulpit and should use it to call out the Rs for their treachery in aiding and abetting a traitor.Every issue should be framed by calls for impeachment-every R should be forced to defend their support for Trump now until the midterms 2/not only is this the principled approach, it is a winning strategy that makes these bullies play defense and own this criminal President and his tweet attacks on Mueller and the press. Why do Rs block bills to safeguard the vote or protect Mueller? Why do they support Trump?
