I wonder why no politician, who is against him, isn’t rising up and leading the masses. They are missing the best campaign opportunity to become president in the future.

Isn't that what Tim Waltz is doing with AOC?

I don’t call that a movement I call it an awareness tour. It’s not hard enough. It’s not loud enough. He needs to feel pressure- he needs to feel threatened. He needs to feel uncomfortable. He needs to feel small because that’s how you beat tyrants and he is a tyrant. Democrats need to change the way they present themselves. We don’t need to be this peaceful party when everything around us is burning down.

We need more influencers- we the people need to be on podcasts and tik tok like the Right wing people - let’s find those people

Ummm... isn't Aaron's The Parnas Perspective one of these people? (I think he is!)

I agree with this so much. With the disapproval rating rising so much in such a short time, they have to know they’re on a sinking ship. Like if one person can rise up and lead a small army of R’s to join them, they could have “I saved the country from turning into Nazi Germany” on their resume!

The Dems will address and the Republicans will

Have to find a response- it will be telling what the republicans do. It could be their own demise. Right now information is just coming out- they need to be right truthful and credible. The response will come

Well since the information about who might have been on that flight came out yesterday/today- the DOJ is playing games w the court. I suspect it’s a measure twice cut once scenario. I am not a strategist but for sure they want to make sure they have good facts - otherwise they lose credibility.

because you read something now that is just breaking - you can’t assume they have any mkre information than we do. get away from the need for immediate gratification- let them make sure what they are saying is truth- unlike Fox- also if they are wrong many even in this forum would be unforgiving.

Do you really think this won’t be a big talking point if the information is proven true🤨

Give them time???? They knew that he was going to do this and more. They read project 2025. We knew what he was going to do. If you know that your adversary is planning to attack, you don’t wait until he attacks to decide your plan of action. That’s just plain stupid. And it’s not like this is the first time he’s been president -we’ve seen this before. The reason why he’s amped up even more this time is because they didn’t do anything the last time he acted this way.

Don’t disagree with you - judges are not prone to knee jerk reactions. They deal a the cases and facts as they come- not a preemptive strike. Congress needed the preemptive strike . To not be overturned on appeal for being over zealous or over reach they have to play the game. It would be like predetermining guilt before giving anyone a fair trial . There is a presumption of innocence and the idea of fairness to the accused . Each case has to stand on its merits. It sucks but it is how our justice system works

Yes he is - and the number is growing. Still way behind the right wing echo chamber. Suggest you check out the “find out” podcast put together by other posters on Substack that directly address this issue.

It good to see the uptick here in number and in engagement- but it’s not a well oiled machine.

Here people post about the news - right wing Trump farts and the talking point on it posted and talked about on every site podcast and tik tok -

The left is getting started. It’s why people keep going what is the message - they don’t have this issue in the right 🤔

What a preposterous comment. Excuse me, but it’s not just the Dems. The Republicans who are against him should rise up as well and so should Independents and the other Liberals. Do not put this all on one party that’s what got us here in the first place. If I’m not mistaken, we’re not the ones who voted him in.

He has impunity. The only recourse is to impeach & remove - with this Congress, highly doubtful!

KaijaJo's avatar

He has immunity for presidential acts- that’s not total immunity if he acts outside the powers given to the executive branch. Also it’s presumed immunity- not absolute. If you read the actual supreme court ruling there seems room to make a case he isn’t immune.

None the less he didn’t come up with this- this screams Miller and possibly Vance.

So I think you have heard about the election truth alliance? Where they checked out the machines and found that votes were taken from Harris and given to Trump. They have a GoFundMe page to help pay for Attorney and court cost. He can be removed for engaging in election. Fraud is certainly grounds for impeachment and removal. The vice president would also succeed the removed potus if he knew about the fraud.

I agree they shouldn’t have been taken there to begin with. They need to be returned. Trump was told not to take them out of the US. And he does what the fuck he wants.. This just pisses me off
