A Wonderful Discovery
A sudden realization
So the lines, too many to count at this point, have been stepped over by the regime from multiple angles. Immigration, foreign policy, economic self-dealing. Violating multiple laws in multiple jurisdictions, even posse comitatus, which is hard to even believe.
It has been a constant barrage of broken rules and broken promises towards allies and perceived enemies. Layer that with a big helping of age-related mental decline mixed with megalomania, and you have a recipe for disaster.
Polls prove that his actions are very unpopular and extremely reckless. He has no capability to come up with any kind of novel idea. Nothing he has done has improved our country unless you're a billionaire.
During the gradual decline of the rule of law as it applies to the president. Something amazing has happened that I don’t think DT and his ghouls have anticipated.
That amazing thing is this. Millions of people have joined hands in solidarity. We have come together and propped each other up in countless ways.
People are looking out for each other. People are delivering food and medication to those that have felt under threat. Teachers have formed human shields for students and parent pickups in front of their schools. Neighbors have stood together and blocked ICE from getting near residences that may be vulnerable.
This is happening all over the country, and we are meeting DT's lawlessness every step of the way.
Marc Elias, the ACLU, and other law firms have challenged and sued and slowed down many of the executive orders down to a crawl. And in many cases the challenges have been won in the court by the plaintiffs.
Then there are the millions of protestors getting out there despite the elements. I could not be more proud of my brothers and sisters in Minnesota fighting the good fight.
The reason people are coming out in the millions is actually very simple. We know we have the moral high ground. We are fighting for justice for people like Renee Good and the thousands who have been kidnapped and tortured by these illegal acts of aggression.
Millions are coming out because most people can tell that what is happening is wrong. If you are defending the monstrous actions of the regime, then you are either embarrassed or intellectually lazy.
As I stand here today, I think we have shown and will continue to show that most of the people in this country are the true patriots. We are the United States, not some imaginary line between masses of land.
We the people are united. We are the strength of this country. Our unity and courage combined with our righteous outrage will win the day.
I can't say what day it will be, but I feel it in my bones. We outnumber these bad actors multiple times over. There is only a small fraction of the populace now that doesn’t agree that we are on the right side of history.
They use violence and hate. We use our love and our 1st Amendment rights.
“They had guns, and we had whistles.” According to Renee Good's spouse. What an apt description. RIP Renee. And to Renee's spouse and children, never forget that you are loved.
And everyone out there with me in these dark days in the doldrums of winter, you are loved as well. Be proud, be kind. Keep showing up. If we do that, we can win.
I love you guys.

Hi Erik and thanks. You are right, Americans are standing up for what is right - it is so obvious. - that difference between good and bad. From Minnesota to California to Texas - people are out in the cold, they are marching, they are protesting, and they are showing the world that America is not lost to a psychopath - a man with no morales whose one and only best friend operated an underage prostitution ring. He is the same man who the Court labeled a "sexual predator," and another court convicted him of 34 felony charges in his attempt to cover up his relationship with an adult film star, and yet another convicted him of sexually attacking a woman in a store's dressing room. It is all about misplaced power - a pathetic criminalality and aggression toward women and girls. He is a FRAUD - and another court proved this beyond a shadow of doubt.
Mr. Trump may find himself in the middle of a similar opposition when he visits the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week. One of the lead speakers is Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase - someone who Trump is suing. Other attendees will be the leaders of European countries who are now sending military troops to Greenland to protect this country against our raging, narcissistic leader's misplaced aggression.
Switxzerland is a member country of the International Criminal Court - which means they could issue an arrest warrant and Switzerland could enforce it. Trump has commited a "genocide" in Africa as well as 'crimes against humanity'. In Venezuela he has committed a "crime of aggression" with his bombing of boats in the Caribbean, killing over 100 individuals, invasion of a sovereign nation, and kidnapping their President.
If nothing else, the combined opposition to Mr. Trump at Davos may be a turning point where he recognizes the global resistance to his policies and his aggressive behavior. Let's hope.
What a fantastic way to start my Monday/week! Thanks again Erik! And happy MLK Day!
