Just a small reminder as we celebrate our existence as a democracy that such existence is seriously threatened by leadership that is totally focused on robbing us blind while at the same time suppressing our rights and impoverishing all but the very elite while turning us into an autocracy. In this mission they are being aided by extreme right wing congress members and extremists on the nation’s supreme court.
The list of crimes and breaches by the administration and the president is long. Senator Chris Murphy detailed a list earlier this month that Trish Nelson posted on this site. I shall repost it here to emphasize how bad it is:
This past week America was assaulted with more bribery and scandal as more and more “emoluments” to the president were revealed. Here is MSNOW’s Ali Velshi discussing some of the recent grift that is making the president vastly wealthy with our money:
That plane should be dubbed “The Flying Bribe.”
Manipulating stock markets; soliciting and accepting bribes; cutting government aid to the poor; cutting health care. Folks, the number one issue in the in this campaign must be the corruption of the president, the executive branch and the Supreme Court that is carving out avenues for the prsident to rob us blind.
This may be our last chance to vote in a free election, if it is. Expect Trump to do all he can to sabotage this election. So when you vote this year, vote as if YOU are the one whose vote will save the Republic. You may not get another chance.
More Democrats now understand that a huge reason for the success of Trump’s MAGA movement is the inept, out-of-touch politics of the DNC. Elite, so called “moderate” (read “corporate”) Democrats at the state level are culpable as well. The popular revolt against the status quo that many of us have pushed for within the Democratic Party is finally coming to fruition. But it’s important, essential even, to admit that Democrats bear much responsibility for America’s descent into authoritarianism. — Ed Fallon
