Popok: Judge Williams in Miami has the fate of Todd Blanche and his future, I think, in the palm of her hand.
As the 35 former Federal judges have filed their new brief to encourage Judge Williams to not stay any aspect of her proceeding, which in which she declared that Donald Trump, his lawyers, and by extension, Todd Blanche committed bad faith in front of that judge, and she sanctioned them under Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and her inherent authority for that bad faith collusive conduct.
Sidney Blumenthal on the state of the DOJ building in Washington DC:
Although I had read about it, and although I had seen photographs, I was shocked when I saw firsthand the gigantic poster covering the entire front of Main Justice, from the top floor all the way down, of Donald Trump's face.
It was like the old Soviet Union. It was like a picture of Stalin. It was very much totalitarian propaganda and the branding of the government by a cult of personality.
The "case" against Don Lemon was rejected by multiple judges, yet he was arrested anyway for being a thorn in the side of the criminal Trump regime. This is an all out war on the constitution and the first amendment. All "free speech warriors" on the right have been unmasked as utter frauds and fascists.
The PR has changed from “going after the violent criminals” to “going after the fraud” - as though armed agents in military gear rather than forensic accountants and prosecutors in business suits are the way to go after fraud.
But neither is their actual goal.
Their goal is the militarization of blue cities and the submission of the American people.
They will not succeed.
Big surprise for Trumpworld:
NYC’s new socialist mayor plowed 6,000 miles of city roads successfully—every single road—because government plowing snow is pure socialism in action.
To create the political force needed to override the threat of fascism, we need to activate America’s soul force. As we expand our thinking and expand our hearts, we expand our political options.
“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
― Thomas Paine, The Crisis
