WHEN ?

I thought that if our country ever fell to the point that it has that our leadership would not go quietly. There is ONE member of the senate calling an insane president, insane. ALL senators should be stating what is obvious to the entire f’ing planet. There are some in the house who are pounding the table about what is happening, some. It should be all. House and Senate.

I keep hearing, don’t worry, we will have midterms. I’m sure we will. What I am not at all sure about is if there are any plans for when the icetapo impounds ballots and voting machines in blue and swing states. When they show up armed to the teeth at polling locations. Awhile back Gov. Pritzker stated the obvious, that all this ice crap is just practice for disrupting the midterms. He was left hanging in the wind by the Democratic Party. That point should have been and continue to be pounded on over and over to the point where even people who don’t want to pay attention are aware of it.

If the Jack Smith hearings didn’t show our democratic leadership just how far gone the republican party is then nothing will. They will do anything to keep the Epstein files from becoming public. They WILL do anything to destroy our democracy. Political theater can be effective, but only if you f’ing USE it ! It’s time for the words coming from our leadership to match what is actually happening.
