She went through all the interference DT has done in the different Departments throughout the Gov't. It was astonishing how many times and how long it took to get through the list and how many career people have quit or were fired, all for disagreeing with DT. Geesh! She has me more scared for our Country now than I was before.
Me.
(35,454 posts)But she was excellent tonight and you're panicked because she is. Brutal reality is hitting home that a monster is attacking our country and we all better take it really seriously and figure out how we're going to fight back. He will steal this election if he can, he has as good as told us so.
Rachel is the best - she doesn't just deliver news, she covers all the background and helps us all understand it and see what we are facing!! It is a scary time and I appreciate Rachel helping us understand what is happening in our country and I'm glad she doesn't sugar coat any of it!!

(3,626 posts)...you probably aren't scared enough. I have passed beyond the barrier of thinking that Bill Maher is being an idiot when he says Trump won't go. If all the enforcement mechanisms are corrupted, what stops anybody from doing anything?

(935 posts)since T rump's "American Carnage" inauguration. This has been a slow, steady deterioration of our laws and norms. I'll tell ya, after an American journalist was sawed alive I pretty much haven't had an entire day of peace of mind. This right here is when it really sunk in that we are in it for realzy.

(4,386 posts)We need to get our leaders to focus on mass protests now. I think we should all be making contact and communicate that we expect our leaders in the democratic party to respond with us and help coordinate this nationally. We need someone with national exposure ringing the alarm loud and clear.

(8,835 posts)that would send Republicans and their minions off the deep end. A black person leading the charge against Trump and republicans??????
It would be suicidal for Obama, and his entire family, if he were to say a single word.......
There are 50 million voters out there who would be emboldened to do something really really really really really crazy...........
Same with big huge demonstrations and rallies to challenge them......Do you want another Gettysburg????????????????
In a New York second, Trump would order martial law in the entire nation, by the U.S. military, giving himself even more absolute power.
They already tried to over throw the Posse Comatutus law during the Cheney/Rumsfeld administration, they would toss it out in 24 hours this time........
We don't have the FBI, Military, DOJ, alot of local police, or anyone with any kind of power to help us in any way...............
I tell people the reason Trump wants the wall is to keep US from getting out in the future...........
There are many many many of us who have been screaming about what was happening for DECADES and no one was listening.
If they aren't listening now, they soon will be, when the FASCIST CORPORATE REPUBLICAN COUP is completed Nov. 3rd.
REMEMBER: Hillary got laughed off the stage when she said that there was a huge Republican Conspiracy taking place......

DENVERPOPS
(8,835 posts)but we can't be running around shooting from the hip without considering the reality of the backlash from the Republicans.
I continue to believe that the Democrats are still wandering down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes and oblivious to the herd of stampeding elephants coming down the path.
No one is "stepping up" to take on the Republicans........
It should be painfully obvious by now to all Dems, that the only person the Repubs fear in an election is BIDEN......
And even Biden is not rising to the occasion out of fear of drawing even more fire from the despicables..........

(51,607 posts)The fucking moron must be stopped by any means available, and I mean ANY! I won't say what exactly since I will get the DU jury deleting my post for "kooky/extreme" ideas. Sometimes "extreme" is necessary. I believe we are in that area right now.
My sister assured me (tried to calm my realistic fears) throughout 2016-17. Then she realized how seriously dangerous the fucking moron and GOP are and she now sees that I was right to sound the alarms. A shining knight in white armor is not going to come riding in to save the day, we have to save it ourselves through any means possible.

(7,403 posts)Was interesting when he brought up that the question of electability is only directed at the two women and the same isn't asked about a white gay male or a Jewish candidate, leaving open the sexist nature of the election coverage. Shows we still have a long ways to go.
