When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower would respond:
“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”
Trump’s authoritarianism in real time:
▪️Conduct massive illegal raids.
▪️Provoke a counter-response.
▪️Declare a state of emergency.
▪️Call in the troops.
Unacceptable.
I agree with Karoline Leavitt: ABC News must issue an apology.
I disagree on its recipient. ABC must apologize to Terry Moran and make clear that his tweet was journalistically in-bounds—supported by years of evidence—and he shouldn’t have been suspended. https://t.co/8i0vvoq2sk
What everything really comes down to in today’s America is that Trump is despicable, as are most (giving the benefit of the doubt here) of the people around him. The fact that so many people in public life feel constrained from saying that—especially journalists, the professionals who make their living (or are supposed to) by truth-telling, but rightly fear losing their livelihoods for telling that one simple truth—is how we’ve reached the sorry point we’ve reached as a nation today.
We need to stand up for @TerryMoran.
Wow. ABC has no spine.
If FOX fired every one of its reporters who said something insulting about a Democratic President, there would hardly be anyone left in the building. FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, PEOPLE.
Shame on you, ABC. At a time when we need to stand strong for our freedoms, you cave like this.https://t.co/nJ4uIfAXfB
Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation.
It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop.
Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.
🚨BREAKING: Every Democratic Governor just signed on to a statement SLAMMING Trump for abusing his power and sending the National Guard in to LA. This is what unity looks like. Share this statement everywhere!
Looks to me like the sleeper cells are being activated in an attempted insurrection / civil war action that's intended to escalate into an attempted overthrow of the United States of America. Watch for targeted attacks on power grid infrastructure, bridges, railroads, water pump stations, communications infrastructure, ports and refineries. It looks like the treasonous Democrats are teaming up with several foreign enemies to try to take down our nation. They will almost certainly fail, but they will attempt to paint Trump as a brutal dictator in the mean time. Get prepared for a summer of chaos ahead... I'm covering this in greater detail on a podcast report that I'll post here mid-day Sunday.
Pam Bondi isn’t just a disgrace—she’s a walking warning label for what happens when shamelessness and unchecked ambition metastasize in public office. She’s not merely a symptom of the rot in today’s GOP; she’s proof that the disease has gone septic.

Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”
RETWEET if you stand with Secretary Gates against Donald Trump!
