1. Just write it. That some rando wrote it & rando#2 screen-captured it doesn't give it gravitas. . . . nt

[Think. Again.]

3. Giving credit where it's due is a common practice in a healthy society...

...and right now our society is so sick that I for one am very glad to see this norm being upheld here on DU.

2. The laws are to protect and enrich the GOP. And to punish and control everyone else.

[Martin Eden]

4. What's happening to people at the bottom is not "accountability"

It's "merit cleansing." They earned their positions with qualifications and good work on behalf of the American people.

In the assault on DEI which includes the firing of women and minorities based on the racist/misogynist trope they were hired only because of their gender or skin color, Trump has appointed egregiously unqualified people to head head government agencies based soley on their sycophancy to him or ideological extremism.

He justified his actions by asserting our government would be a meritocracy, but what he's doing is merit cleansing.

5. Nailed it.

6. Can you imagine ANY journalist asking this as a question directly to TrumpenFuhrer?

Until someone somewhere on national television does something similar that can serve as a simple spark to light the resistance FIRE seen by tens of millions we are going to continue to witness the total dismantling of our Democracy IMO.

7. Duh

This is so well known, sadly.

8. I just posted in another thread -- Rules are for little people.

The Masters Of The Universe acknowledge no rules binding on themselves.
