Trump is saying the preemptive pardons of Kizinger and Cheney aren’t valid. He’s doing this because he knows for sure there will either never be elections again OR there will never be a FAIR election ever again. otherwise he would leave the pardons because he needs to preemptively pardon himself and a lot of people in his administration on his way out the door too I've been kinda thinking about the prospects of future elections, and.. kinda feels like, whether there are or aren't, the damage has been done. Not even in the "fair election" angle. Current leadership has surely disillusioned so many that it just doesn't matter. We have now the clearest demonstration that any elected member will be just as likely to fold before putting up any fight for democracy.. where's the motivation to vote for whom represents you when their first priority is representing their own interests? 4 Quote

That’s why it’s important to harass our local state and national leaders when they do bad. Call them constantly. Stand in front of their offices. Demand they do the job they were elected to do. We need to make our government officials afraid of us. not us fearing the government. Demand big $ and corporate special interests out of government. If we just give up and act lazy like them then we will lose whatever democracy we can salvage from this 1 3 Quote
1pooh4u Posted March 18 Posted March 18 We the people need to make the $$ these pig politicians get not worth it. Harass them at work. At home. At restaurants. Wherever they are let them know that their lack of action is completely unacceptable 4 Quote

rpgamer Posted March 19 Posted March 19 I feel like I'm confused on the idea of "illegally fired." Like. If someone doesn't have the authority to fire you, how are you out of a job? Quote
Raptorpat Posted March 19 Posted March 19 you get escorted out of the office, locked out of the building, blocked from your email and files, idk the Constitution and laws are just something we wrote on paper to avoid the reality that power actually derives from a monopoly on lethal force. 3 Quote

If someone doesn't have the authority to fire you, how are you out of a job? Needs to be litigated to prove they actually broke the law in firing them. They're claiming it's for cause of poor performance. It's obvious BS, but that's the still how it is sadly. When it's people in power breaking the law, the injustice system is always gonna be playing catch up. That's why it's so important not to put people in the highest positions of power who have ill intent to abuse that power in the first place. Too many people seemed to have missed the lesson unfortunately, and now we're here. 1 Quote

The other parts have to do with the office of president has the right to terminate someone in certain departments but they are supposed to be required to give a full and justifiable reason for doing so to Congress with a 30 day period of review during which, I assume, that individual is either still allowed to work or is out on paid leave. With some of these people, they were all but chased out of their offices at gunpoint and barely allowed to collect their own personal things. 1 Quote

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says his mother-in-law wouldn't complain if her Social Security check didn't arrive this month Yeah, kind of easy for her not to care so much considering she's got a son who's a billionaire. Part that really got me though was when he added, "A fraudster always makes the loudest noise, screaming, yelling, and complaining." I couldn't agree more. 1 4 Quote

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted March 22 Posted March 22 On The Apprentice, Donald Trump Showed Us Who He Was. If Only We Had Listened. I have to admit I watched it back in the day. Of course I really didn't know much of anything about him back then. The opening theme song though I hold still really tells you all really need to know about the guy: "Money, money, money monnney. Money!" Just look at some of the verses to the song if you don't believe me. For the love of money People will steal from their mother For the love of money People will rob their own brother For the love of money People will lie, Lord, they will cheat For the love of money People don't care who they hurt or beat For the love of money A woman will sell her precious body For a small piece of paper it carries a lot of weight Call it lean, mean, mean green I know money is the root of all evil Do funny things to some people Give me a nickel, brother can you spare a dime Money can drive some people out of their minds Ripping people off... check. Lying... LOL super check. Talking about and treating women as little more than property... oh yeah, check. Going loco in la cabeza... si, absolutamente. Any wonder they chose this song to start every episode? 2 1 Quote

Seniors getting those checks aren't enjoying a $3M golf vacation every weekend, they are paying bills on a very fixed income. 5 hours ago, 1pooh4u said: What does anyone expect from the Party of Pedophiles? 4 Quote
