We need to hear music when we get down during this dismal news time. I switched over on my radio driving today from

from politics to music and felt better. I am suggesting Fight the Power by the Isley Bros.

Anyone else have any suggestions for inspirational and fight them back songs?

Is it me that I'm getting the feeling the mainstream media and rich Democrats want the convicted felon

Back in the White House? I’m trying to be optimistic but I’m furious over Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer etal are trying to push out President Biden and have accepted the convicted felon is going to win in November?

The only solution I think that would might save us is if Harris switches places with President Biden and we have a Harris / Biden ticket but I really want President Biden to still run for president

Vote Democrats save democracy vote for the convicted felon get a dictatorship.

Vote D get Democracy
vote R get a dictatorship that ends America

One of my posts on Facebook was " fact checked" by an organization that is debunking Project 2025

I wrote on my Facebook page:

The conservatives must be really nervous about project 2025. I was “fact checked” by a conservative website who gets their funding from big money donors.

Keep talking about Project 2025 and let people know it is a Democracy destroying project put out by the previous administrations ex employees who are now in the federalist society and have wrote project 2025.

This is the link they sent me:

I looked up this organization and it’s a right wing organization that knows how to twist things in conservative views and the two owners are republican operatives.

If one doesn't know enough history what happened with the Supreme Court yesterday is very similar to what the German

Courts did for Hitler. We are going down that path of a dictator ship and civil war if the convicted felon gets back in office.

The similarities are so scary now to Hitler reign of evil and death.

One important tool used by Hitler was Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, known as the Dictatorship Article, which provided broad powers to the president in the event of an emergency.[6] Less than a month after Hitler became chancellor, the Nazis manufactured such an emergency when a fire gutted the Reichstag building which housed the German parliament. The importance of this event cannot be understated: it was equivalent to the burning of the United States Capitol. Although the fire was set by an individual Dutch Communist, the Nazis laid blame for it on the Communist Party, giving Hitler an excuse to ask President von Hindenburg to declare martial law under Article 48.[7]

On February 28, 1933, an executive decree popularly known as the Reichstag Fire Decree suspended important provisions of the Weimar Constitution, particularly those safeguarding individual rights and due process of law.[8] The decree permitted restrictions on the right to assemble, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press and removed all restraints on police investigations. With the decree in place, the police were free to arrest and incarcerate anyone without a specific charge, dissolve political organizations, and suppress publications. The decree also gave the central government the authority to overrule state and local laws and overthrow state and local governments. This law later became a permanent feature of the Nazi police state.

I wish Joe Biden would end his secret security protection since the president is now immune from any presidential actions.

So does the convicted felon have immunity for the January 6th insurrection?

How would they say it is an official act to try to overthrow the government, deny he lost the election and commit an insurrection ?

I knew they would give him immunity

I just read the most chilling article about a group funded by the American Accountably Foundation where

They will start auditing current civil servants who are not loyal to the convicted felon. It was in my local DF Chronicle today and it is chilling. I know it is part of the project 2025 and the parallels to McCarthyism are scary. This needs to be reported far and wide. They will install people who have no experience in important government departments that will only be loyal to the convicted felon.

WASHINGTON — From his home office in small-town Kentucky, a seasoned political operative is quietly investigating scores of federal employees suspected of being hostile to the policies of Republican Donald Trump, a highly unusual and potentially chilling effort that dovetails with broader conservative preparations for a new White House.

Tom Jones and his American Accountability Foundation are digging into the backgrounds, social media posts and commentary of key high-ranking government employees, starting with the Department of Homeland Security. They’re relying in part on tips from his network of conservative contacts, including workers. In a move that alarms some, they’re preparing to publish the findings online.

Groups audits civil servants ‘ *convicted felon* loyalty

With a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, the goal is to post 100 names of government workers to a website this summer to show a potential new administration who might be standing in the way of a second-term Trump agenda — and ripe for scrutiny, reclassifications, reassignments or firings.

“We need to understand who these people are and what they do,” said Jones, a former Capitol Hill aide to Republican senators.

The concept of compiling and publicizing a list of government employees shows the lengths Trump’s allies are willing to go to ensure nothing or no one will block his plans in a potential second term. Jones’ Project Sovereignty 2025 comes as Heritage’s Project 2025 lays the groundwork, with policies, proposals and personnel ready for a possible new White House.

It’s the first time I’ve seen this in my local paper. I’ve seen it on DU so I’m glad it’s in our newspaper.
