It was starting to go down the tubes when you were 50, 60, and 70, but it only got bad enough for you to notice when you are 80. Where were you when all of the previous administrations paved the way for Trump? When our civil liberties were being carved away?
What can you expect from a lifelong criminal who probably always saw the law as the main impediment to his getting what he wanted? Unlike the old days when he was just a young thug being hauled into court with his father to answer for illegally discriminating against Black people in their apartment complexes, he now has the power to bring the entire legal system to heel--or at least, he's trying.
This comes from a President who has filed the most frivolous, unconstitutional, and fluff lawsuits in the history of the planet. I'm at a loss for words to describe the disingenuous, mendacious words and actions of Trump and his ilk. There really aren't words in the English language that do it justice.
The left threatened to cancel, shame, and silence anyone who wouldn’t embrace gender and pronoun ideology.
The right is now trying, through similar intimidation, to silence anyone who dares to go against Trump and his ideology.
Horseshoe theory holds and is clearly on display once again. The further you get toward the ends of the left/right spectrum, the closer the two sides become in their behavior and tactics.
The actions and attitudes of both sides have striking parallels to Revelation 13, where no one can buy or sell without having the mark of the beast on their right hand or forehead. Many Bible scholars say that this is not so much about a physical mark (a tattoo, microchip, etc.), but about committing one’s mind (symbolized by the forehead) and action/strength (symbolized by the right hand) to the beastly system of the antichrist empire.
Get in line with the program, or you won’t be able to conduct business. You’ll lose access to power and influence. You’ll face legal consequences that just might destroy you financially—and certainly your reputation—if you decide to fight them instead of being compliant. If you want to survive, you will bow and not raise a ruckus.
But if you bow, if you dedicate your mind and strength to the beastly forces of empire, you cannot inherit eternal life.
Am I saying that people who voted for Trump cannot be saved (like the Christian right said about people who voted for Biden or Harris)?
No. But I am warning against forming unholy allegiances.
The problem is that Trump should be arrested but he is immune thanks to the bias Supreme Court. He should be impeached but Congress has totally capitulated including democrats. The Senate is impotent and won’t support an impeachment. The DOJ, FBI, Homeland Security have been neutered at best but more probably weaponized to do Trump’s bidding. We are ruled by the “Mad King”.
The name and email address of Skadden Arps' managing partner are just a simple search away.
It wouldn't take more than a sentence or two to chide his firm for paying $100 million in pro bono protection money to America's up-and-coming authoritarian-in-chief, Donald Trump.
In addition to the law firm of Paul Weiss signing on to support Trump's fanatical, far right-wing pursuits in return for lavish client profits, the large Wall Street law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher and Flom signed on to provide $100 million dollars worth of pro bono services in support of Trump's Project 2025 and other far right-wing initiatives in return for Trump's blessings to continue to rake in the big bucks for its partners and associates. This all goes to prove that lawyers are just as capable of being whores as are women of the night.
Paul Weiss and Skadden Arps are a disgrace to the legal profession and should be stigmatized and shunned by anyone and everyone who wants to preserve our democracy.
Want to do something about the rule of law. It’s a start, but email me at citypark3695@gmail.com and I’ll send you a DIY Guide on how to print and distribute yard signs that say Respect the Rule of Law. We have distributed 400 already in Sacramento, and want to share the idea. See them on my Facebook page Jeff Cook. It’s therapeutic and more rewarding and fun than I imagined.
How long before we understand that anticipating and predicting the outrageous injustices awaiting us is the only way to outmaneuver the party of Mass Manipulation? If we are ever to overcome the power of MAGA and everything it represents, we MUST learn the art of pre-emptive strikes. Therein lies our greatest weakness - reacting to outrage can never overcome the willfully outrageous.
This idiot needs stopped. He used the court system with abuse already and now he’ll forbid it from doing anything that might ruffle his orange feathers. He needs stopped now. Help
I greatly admire the law firms that have filed legal briefs in opposition to the extortionate conduct perpetrated by Trump against Paul Weiss, for whom I have little sympathy and much disdain.
I think that the court(s) before whom these briefs are filed by these courageous lawyers should be supplemented by a tidal wave of Friend of the Court (Amicus Curiae) briefs not only by lawyers and law firms around the country but by Attorneys General, universities and colleges and other impacted professions by Trump's extortionate and/or punitive measures in violation of many statutes and Constitutionally vested rights, including the Right to Counsel, Freedom of Speech, the right to due process and as victims of Trump's violation of 18 U.S. Code Section 1951 by engaging in extortionate conduct under color of right.
While Trump's cheerleaders on the U.S. Supreme Court may stretch to include Trump's felonious and illegal conduct under the vast swarth of immunity they have clothed him with, it does not mean that what he has done and continues to do is legal, only that he cannot be criminally prosecuted for it.
Hard to see our country go down the tubes at 80.

I'm 78 and I've noticed it.

If you think that those woke people are "the Left," you need to adjust your glasses.
There is no Left left in the US and it hasn't been here for a long time.
Those people are centrists, or, as Chris Hedges calls them, the liberal class.
Thanks Mitch McConnell and Merick Garland.how do they sleep at night knowing what they’ve done.
I can only laugh thinking that this guy, the king of frivolous lawsuits, wants to curtail frivolous lawsuits. Haha!
He’s paying people to vote in Wisconsin……..

Please read From Dictatorship to Democracy by Dr Gene Sharp
I will most certainly read it, Susan, and I thank you for the suggestion.

Having Immunity Doesn't Make it Legal
I greatly admire the law firms that have filed legal briefs in opposition to the extortionate conduct perpetrated by Trump against Paul Weiss, for whom I have little sympathy and much disdain.

He has to be stopped and I pray people don’t let musk buy their votes !
Yay to Wisconsin!!!!
Again. Trump’s simplistic but effective plan: Avoid getting caught in a scam by eliminating all lawyers who might prosecute you.
