To me, this would require a national strike shutting down the USA until the Trump criminal cabal is removed from power.
Sadly, I predict the American public would do little as we alienate all of our allies in Europe.

(4,778 posts)To be fair, most Americans know nothing about it and have no connection to the country. Its about as distant as it gets, so hard to imagine a national strike happening over that issue when theres more pressing matters.
Sucks doesnt it?

Were soft and bought off. Entertained ourselves to death.

(4,880 posts)If you look at all the actions Trump has taken that are illegal under international law, as far as I know no major country has tried to take the US/Trump to the International Criminal Court in the Hague or even filed anything other that mealy mouthed diplomatic statements. I assume they worry about him abandoning NATO, raising tariffs or farting in the next G20 meeting....bending to his chaotic threats and hoping the terrible diet and all that aspirin catches up to him sooner rather than later.

That said, the price for standing up isn't one a lot of people want to pay.
Unfortunately, too many people are stunned right now, they've gone tharn (deer in the headlights, afraid and unable to move).
Too many have a keep your head down and keep moving attitude. Quietly, and looking out for themselves and family.
More I can say but I'd offend people.

Yeah, we like Jeebus and a good Hallmark movie. But, it appears that we measure quality of life by how cheap a fill up is in a 3 ton pickup is... you know the one with the Murican flag and bull testicles hangin' from the hitch!
