HE WON'T. It's over.

(22,588 posts)I get annoyed at myself each time I click into one of these videos and it's a 14 minute video of someone telling me something that could be said in 2 minutes. But it keeps teasing you to stay watching for the "bombshell".
(No offense to those who like these kind of videos.)
It's clicks, clicks and more clicks

(6,287 posts)Ive was a regular viewer/listener of the Meidas Touch for years, but they got a bit tiresome for the past several months. How many times can you repeat the Hannibal Lector & shark vs. battery stories? Also, they never seem to deliver the bombshell story that their titles suggest. Theyve done some really good work & I appreciate their efforts, but I need a break from them for a while.

(10,542 posts)If it's pointless, then this is merely them preparing for a 2028 run (if there is one,) by acting tough, and like there is a legitimate possibility of success.
I do not think there is. PROVE ME WRONG!

(22,484 posts). . .when Trump fucked up and failed us during the Covid pandemic, the Governors got together and led to help us.
They can do it again.

(158,657 posts)remember, there is no one to keep Trump in check now, including the SC - he is a dictator wannabe unleashed
a guy could not even pass a basic background check for ANY job is now president
I am not religious but "gawd help us" comes to mind

(596 posts)I think it's clear that he already plans to unleash the U.S. military on American citizens and completely sidestep Posse Comitatus.
Resistance to Trump's brutal fascist dictatorship might end up leading to a second bloody civil war unless the U.S. military chooses mutiny over Trump's rule. Then again, a lot of military personnel are MAGA cult members.

Find imaginative ways to resist.
Join a resistance group or act alone; it dont matter.
Peaceful resistance can be direct action, or indirect, or passive.
Im getting started and I feel better already.
Rememberpainting, drawing, sculpture, music, writingany art will do.
Speaking and all kinds of humor
There are millions of ways to resist.
Peace

Cheato will just have to get used to it.

(6 posts)First...with all the tension in the air now, do we have to have so much furor over spelling? Now...Newsom may be one who has the tools that we are probably going to need. We'll see. I'm thinking of our possible future as the new Russia, the "promised land" for the coneheads on the REICH. In Russia, masses of decent people are trapped under a ruthless, oligarchic, dictatorship. But at ultimate risk, Alexei Navalny continued until he was finally killed to stand, leading a DEMOCRATIC opposition, and poking the dictator Putin in the eye.
Who will our Navalny be?

(28,564 posts)As should every blue state, unless we get equal representation.
We know we won't get equal representation economically. The compromise is that we get it socially and morally, with LGBQT rights, environmental protection, and so forth.
Without those guardrails, it's taxation without representation.

(1,460 posts)For all I know, USA would not be a prosperous country without California. California helps cover the red state freeloaders. A threat of secession would do some good. Maybe, dictator Trump would think twice.
