Patel won't get confirmed, seen interviews w senators on confirmation committee and just the fact he wants to eliminate the dept that is the #1 on terrorism threats. That will make usa vernable to attacks. What's w these nominations!
All of trumps nominations are SOLEY based on ass kissing abilities. Every last one of them have puckered their lips tightly to trumps asshole. NONE of them have a single qualifying ability for the job.
The nominations are not chosen for competency or knowledge of the jobs but for loyalty to Trump & their willingness to tear the agencies apart & burn them to the ground leaving a smouldering ash heap in their wake. Trump wants the FBI, Homeland, DOJ & military to be under his control, no longer independent agencies. He wants the military under his direct control to act against US citizens which is not the mission of any branch of the US military as this is not a military police state as N. Korea is. I believe Hegseth would ignore the Pentagon & State Department & allow it to happen. Gabbard, RFK Jr, Dr Oz & the rest including 10 Trump family related people are nominated to jobs they have no business in. The nominations are all about loyalty, wealth & willingness to be a member of Trumps mafia organization to help with his retribution tour, power grab & to fleece merika, tear it all apart & to stuff his & his cabinet members pockets as full as he/they can. He hasn't been inaugurated yet & his people are already talking about him running again in 2028 which is violation of the Constitution. I think he will abolish part if not all of it & replace it with a new P2025 version. Democratic Congress & Senate members better grow a giant pair & We The People had better stand up, get loud & fight him / maga every step of the way. If we don't we will loose our democracy, right to vote/elections, our freedom & our country.
Not rfk I'm sure of that one if McConnell has anything to do w it. The rest of these nominations r hanging on a thread too much garbage in their past. I have faith in the nomination process and it sounds like these nominations r too scary for these guys to be confirmed.
I sincerely doubt that Trump will wait for Congress to be in session after their Christmas break because he has mentioned recess appointments. And there will be a whole lot of them. McConnell has no power over that unless he wants to keep the Senate in session nonstop over Christmas and New Year's, which is not gonna happen.
All these documents should be sealed in airtight shipping containers. Loaded on to a military transport and flown to a secret neutral nation for safe keeping.
The fact that the rioters came with weapons and body armor would immediately put to rest any notion that random FBI agents incited the violence that day. Hell some even had tshirts made prior to going to DC. That leaves their bullshit conspiracies pretty easily debunked.
The FBI didn't force anybody to beat a cop with a flag pole. Please pull that clip and show it every time you talk about Jan. 6, Ron. The FBI also didn't watch the riot for a whole hour more after one of his supporters was shot and killed. Nope. Trump did that.
I bought the book on the committee's report so it's here, on a shelf, no batteries required.
Democrats must start responding to all the corruption and lies. We need to bring the big guns not a knive to a gun fight! Biden is still The President he must do something NOW!
The Magats can recharacterize all they want. Decent Americans SAW what occurred Jan6 LIVE and will not, can not buy this shit. Republicans who were accosted at the Capital need to REMEMBER and have a conscience.
It was bad enough when they just had fox on their side. Now that corp media has gone all in, it feels almost impossible. But I find hope in knowing that MT and other alternate media outlets that are the antithesis of fox and their corp media clones will keep fighting and growing and getting louder until we overwhelm the trump media.
He just threatened to sue all content creators and social influencers for defamation. He's going all in on eliminating the 1st Amendment. You know, the scam that Elon paid people 100 bucks to help keep in place.
Here’s an idea about how we can begin to make Jan. 6 ours. Let’s invite We the People (that means us) to fly a flag, wear a flag pin, tape a picture of a flag in your front window, whatever works, on Jan 6 2025 to show our solidarity that We The People (1) Love America, (2) Believe in the founding values expressed in the Declaration of Independence and implemented in the Constitution and Bill of Rights and (3) Will Never stop working toward a More Perfect Union. Promote it on social media, talk about it wherever you go, write Letters to the Editor if you’re lucky enough to still have a local newspaper. I promise I’ll actually buy and fly a flag if this idea takes off. What do you think? I think we should call it We the People Day. And take it away from the MAGA gang.
Yes, definitely need to take a stand for Democracy but you know the Media will twist it, just as MAGA will. They will consider it a celebration of the incoming Admin. Somehow have to make it clear (and I do like this) that "We the People" are not happy with the direction our Country is being taken.
I see strength in celebrating our patriotism, our understanding of American values and our commitment to them. The disappointment is noted in the “never stop working” third point. We can follow up We the People Day with protests once we’ve told our story of what we are for.
Connie, I apologize. This is all so overwhelming to me (as I am sure it is to most everyone) and as a result I misunderstood (scanning the posts too quickly i guess) & misunderstood, thought you were considering this action for Inauguration Day. My apologies.
I understand. Unfortunately, when I see a Flag on a truck, hanging outside someone's house or on clothing, I immediately think MAGAs. It is sad and in some cases unfair but that's where my mind goes. I do have friends who are 💯 Progressives and they have a Flag hanging outside because they say it's our Flag as well. MAGAs don't own it. I get it but still I cringe when I see it. Terrible I know. At the Farmer's Market in a pretty liberal area, my friend and I saw someone with a yellow and gold MAGA hat. He was so proud - walking with his head held high. Gross.
I probably should explain that I took some inspiration from Kamala Harris’s campaign theme of freedom and patriotism to suggest this idea. I think we deserve to claim freedom, love of country (and even flying the flag, which as I said I do not even own one to fly). I think Cindy’s friend is correct. We don’t even have to deny anyone else their flag flying. We just need to make it so when people see a flag they know it might be us!
News about We the People Day (and the movement I’m trying to start)! My local newspaper has accepted an OpEd I wrote introducing the idea and inviting people to participate. I’m really happy about that! Looking for more ways to promote the idea!
Who in his/her right mind would believe Trump over FBI members? I am a bit surprised, however, that the DOJ didn't pander to Trump in its report. It is very important to distribute and publicize the report immediately.
I don't think the Trumpers care about the Truth. At some point if Trump said it was Hunter Biden disguised in the crowed inciting everyone, they would say it was proof that Hunter Biden started the riot which wasn't a riot - they were beautiful patriots who were peaceful. MAGAs literally make no sense.
The real harm is what it does to those present. History does tell us that it will correct these lies and make the fools and liars known, but usually a generation or two later. But unless we correct and speak up now, that next generation may be a couple or more until that future generation realizes the truth and makes us all appear to be accomplices in those lies and deceptions.
This is a very good point. Cannot allow fallacies be the prevalent voice. Must yell the truth loud and clear. Can’t let be drown out by deception and lies.
This right here is my biggest fear. We don't want to end up like these countries that have a revolution decades down the road. Many here have children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews they are worried about whether they're babies or young adults. I keep thinking about the country my 18 yr old twins are inheriting & it's heart breaking. I too want to help stop this travesty before it's too late for them to live the "normal" American lives we did.
Everything should be declassified now and distributed to the press
100% this. Trump told the proud boys to stand by. We need to declassify everything before Kash takes over. Public servants with access to this information should serve the constitution and defend democracy by leaking everything to the press: https://democracydefender2025.substack.com/p/public-servant-democracy-defender-introduction

TFG wants only loyalists in charge of these departments. He doesn’t give a crap about policy. He ran to stay out of jail and grift off the presidency.
He also wants to control WHO gets investigated. As long as it’s not HIM.
All of Trump's people will be confirmed when Congress is on its Christmas break.
Not rfk I'm sure of that one if McConnell has anything to do w it. The rest of these nominations r hanging on a thread too much garbage in their past. I have faith in the nomination process and it sounds like these nominations r too scary for these guys to be confirmed.

And to 501(c)3 organizations or Democrat groups!
I suspect that Trump will erase the tax-free donation policy at key organizations he doesn't like, starting with those related to abortion.
I agree.
Always remember, ne er forget. And someone needs to archive the j6 footage offline where it can't be tampered with.
*never
We need the reputable historians to get books written and published asap. Ken Burns … get writing!
Heather Cox Richardson
She could just pull from her excellent columns and pull a book together really quickly.
Agreed
All these documents should be sealed in airtight shipping containers. Loaded on to a military transport and flown to a secret neutral nation for safe keeping.
Most Americans don't read, it has to be on social media.
🤨The only social media I know of that doesn't require reading is TV & TicToc
I agree!
The fact that the rioters came with weapons and body armor would immediately put to rest any notion that random FBI agents incited the violence that day. Hell some even had tshirts made prior to going to DC. That leaves their bullshit conspiracies pretty easily debunked.
Yeah. They talk about “ghost busses”, what about the busses that had “Infowars” plastered all over them?
I recall someone "I knew" (past tense) posted on facebook- EVERYONE GO TO PARLER- they were sent there for instructions
The FBI didn't force anybody to beat a cop with a flag pole. Please pull that clip and show it every time you talk about Jan. 6, Ron. The FBI also didn't watch the riot for a whole hour more after one of his supporters was shot and killed. Nope. Trump did that.
I bought the book on the committee's report so it's here, on a shelf, no batteries required.
They beat a DC officer with a fire extinguisher, too.
Democrats must start responding to all the corruption and lies. We need to bring the big guns not a knive to a gun fight! Biden is still The President he must do something NOW!
They are trying but we know what we saw.
💙🇺🇸
The Magats can recharacterize all they want. Decent Americans SAW what occurred Jan6 LIVE and will not, can not buy this shit. Republicans who were accosted at the Capital need to REMEMBER and have a conscience.
They can try, but we will never forget! Gaslighting doesn't work on us, save it for your minions!
It was bad enough when they just had fox on their side. Now that corp media has gone all in, it feels almost impossible.

I'm with you on this. Even NPR sounds like it's caving
Wow - Corporate Media isn't even trying to hide their bias anymore. They will continue to lose viewers but it seems they do not care.
Trump can't just rewrite the truth,
While squatting in his Mar-A-Lago booth.
We will be there in his way,
To uncover his lying everyday!
Mischaracterizing ? More appropriately, propagandizing.

Vaclav Havel, The Power of the Powerless. Groups of people from all over the place forming a union. Key word is PEOPLE

Another reason why MeidasTouch rules, & why Stephen A & Legacy Media drools.
Well sucks
Simple , and on point. 😎
