reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt quote:

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

BREAKING: YES! The former U.S. pardon attorney who was fired for refusing to help restore Mel Gibson's gun rights hits the Justice Department with a MASSIVE lawsuit.

This is going to be fun to watch...

“Shortly after President Trump took office, Ms. Oyer was asked to disregard her duties and facilitate a political favor for the actor Mel Gibson, based on Mr. Gibson’s relationship with President Trump. Ms. Oyer was asked to make it seem like an independent review had concluded that Mr. Gibson, who was convicted of a domestic violence offense, should have his gun rights restored,” states the suit, filed on Liz Oyer's behalf through the nonprofit organization Democracy Forward.

Oyer previously revealed that she was forced out of her job by then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche because she refused to do a mafia-style favor for Mel Gibson, a close Trump ally.

The disgraced actor lost his federal firearm rights due to a domestic violence conviction. In 2010, he allegedly assaulted his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva while she was holding their infant daughter, smashed her in the mouth, and threatened her with his gun. On top of that, a leaked phone conversation revealed that Gibson admitted to slapping her and at one point told her: "If you get raped by a pack of n*****s, it'll be your fault." He repeatedly called her a "whore," "bitch," and "c*nt."

"Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval," Rep. Jamie Raskin previously stated. "Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her."

This woman took a brave stand for what was right and she paid the price for it.

“Ms. Oyer had serious concerns about the public safety implications of granting Mr. Gibson’s request in light of his history of domestic violence and the well-documented dangers of placing firearms in the hands of domestic abusers," the lawsuit states.

The firing was carried out without proper adherence to the legal protections afforded to civil servants, including 30 days' notice and the opportunity to respond in writing. Not only that, but the Trump administration failed to provide a "written decision specifying the reasons for the removal." Obviously, Blanche didn't want to put it in writing that he was sacking Oyer for refusing to perform a crooked political favor.

Additionally, Oyer's suit alleges that her First Amendment rights were violated because she was targeted for her perceived connections to the Democratic Party due to the fact that she was hired when Joe Biden was President.

“This case is about much more than what happened to me," stated Oyer. "All Americans rely on nonpartisan civil servants to keep them safe and to uphold the law without fear or favor. I was fired because I refused to put politics ahead of my duty to the American people. My firing violated my constitutional and statutory rights, and it also jeopardized public safety."

“That is not how the Department of Justice is supposed to operate, and it is not how public servants in this country should be treated," she added. "If career officials like me can be fired for refusing to bend the rules to serve the president’s friends, then the message to every public servant is clear: loyalty to a politician matters more than loyalty to the Constitution. I cannot accept that.”

It's worth mentioning that Oyer was fired when the administration was still riding high, buying into their own hype, and convinced that a permanent culture shift towards their brand of fascism had occurred. They overplayed their hand, thinking that the future belonged to them. Now, Trump's approval has cratered, his entire party is electorally radioactive, and the bill is coming due for all of their transgressions.

Please ❤️ and share if you hope that Liz Oyer cleans their clocks!

BREAKING: PETULANT! Trump's Kennedy Center board threatens to literally DEMOLISH the building if they can't slap his name on it.

If Donald Trump can't put his name on the Kennedy Center, apparently nobody will have a Kennedy Center at all.

In a stunning court filing Monday, prosecutors for the Trump-aligned board argued that a $250 million renovation project — which just so happens to include Trump's name on the facade — is now necessary for the building's very survival. Their filing warned that without it, "the center will deteriorate further into an unsafe, decrepit structure that will be required to be taken down," floating a replacement amphitheater as an alternative.

Let's be clear about what's actually happening here: this isn't a genuine structural crisis. It's a manufactured hostage situation. Trump's board has spent months trying to force his name onto a building Congress explicitly created to honor a murdered president, gotten blocked by federal courts twice, and is now essentially threatening to bulldoze the whole institution rather than accept "no" for an answer.

And the financial reality tells its own story. The Kennedy Center is now projected to fall $100 million short of its profit goals, missing its budget target by 70% and contributed revenue by 25%, a staggering $23 million deficit. This decline traces directly back to Trump's takeover and the name-change controversy — meaning the very chaos Trump's board created is now being used as justification for even MORE drastic action, in a self-inflicted crisis dressed up as an emergency.

This saga has been ongoing for months. Multiple artists canceled performances in protest after Trump's board first tried to close the center back in May. Representative Joyce Beatty successfully sued to block it. Judge Christopher Cooper ruled the board's decision "ill-informed and seemingly preordained," forcing Trump's name off the building's facade — though workers responded with pure pettiness, simply draping a massive tarp over the empty space rather than restoring it properly.

Now the board has voted AGAIN, this time proposing to shut the Kennedy Center down entirely for two years to remake it in Trump's image. Beatty is once again heading to federal court to stop it.

This is what happens when ego overrides institutional stewardship: a national cultural landmark, built to honor a fallen president, held hostage by a board more interested in vanity than preservation — willing to threaten demolition rather than simply let go.

Please like and share if you’re as outraged by this as we are!
