On 6/12, DHS Secây Kristi Noem said âWe are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.â This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

(40,508 posts)But our lives could change quickly.
There's a lack of imagination going on. A recency bias
that says things will stay the same as they are now..
The other side has a plan and it's not pretty!
Irish_Dem
(70,878 posts)Or as you say, people cannot envision anything different from the current reality.
Reality will hit soon enough. Some will have a steep learning curve.
Yes we have seen enough to know what we are dealing with.
And it is not pretty.

(12,574 posts)I am surprised she didn't have that dem U.S. Senator taken outside, and tied to a lamppost, so she could give FOX news a video/sound bite of her shooting him like she did with her dog and goat, that she is so infamous for having done.......
Trump would put the video on his cell phone to use nightly to get him self off....

(330 posts)They have got us into this mess by normalizing Trump.
There constant both sides reporting has done a tremendous amount of harm.
There constant blaming Democrats for everything and never challenging or blaming Republicans. Always using the Republican narrative.
Its killing us and damaging our democracy.

sagetea
(1,508 posts)I'd fight her. She's crazy, with huge delusions and a murder of proud boys at her beck and call. She is grossly incompetent, a liar, and a thief. The only thing to fear (as in 'be cautious' of her) is the administration she works in. Get her alone and she isn't scary at all. I wonder if perhaps someone were to punch her in the face, if she would actually feel it?

(904 posts)Absolutely no empathy at all. I'm positive that is why she was picked.
It's sickening.
And also like Dumpy, I have no interest in even seeing her.
She has FAKE written all over her.
Did I mention dumb as a box of rocks?
