The country with the most powerful military in the history of the planet has, by congressional vote, transitioned from representative democracy to autocracy. I see no riots, no bombings, no assassinations. This has all taken place calmly, coolly, and without incident.

No one with half a brain is buying your bullshit.
Your tweets and interviews on this subject are a joke.
Here's the best part. Your soulless slavery to Mitch McConnell is all on video.
It's history. Forever. And you come off terrible
Signed,
Smart people
@UrbaniteAlaska As a descendent of people “evacuated” and “re-educated” by our government because some beuracrat thought we looked Japanese, some of whom are still alive, I’m aware of the bridge I just crossed. The first step to it not happening again is knowing when they’re coming for you.
It is hard to do the right thing - and even to keep sight of what the right thing is — when your system, group, and career incentives push you towards doing the wrong thing.
Mitt Romney - and Justin Amash - deserve a lot of respect for doing the right thing when it was hard.
Having proven Trump guilty, I asked if there was just one Republican Senator who would say “enough”
Who would stand up against this dangerously immoral president
Who would display moral courage
Who would do impartial justice as their oath required and convict
And there is.
@NPR More spine than I was expecting. Dubious as they may be, it appears Romney has principles. That he is the only one also speaks volumes about Republicans.
@Noahpinion I feel like this is a perfect place to engage in massive automation. AI has the potential to be a game changer but there are headwinds in places where more of the population is working age (or likely to be soon). I’m talking Shirow level stuff here.
