Our system, which somehow failed to prosecute CSA President Jefferson Davis after the catastrophic Civil War, yet in 1859 found a way to convict and hang John Brown a mere 44 days after his capture at Harper's Ferry, failed us.

This same system gave us Dummkopf Trumpf who will never spend a moment in a prison cell.

After seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, Trumpf will hold on to it, like a vicious unenlightened tyrant.

What kind of punishment is fit for a president who would do something like this?

My opinion has always been Biden should have shipped piggy off to gitmo for a drumhead trial and a short drop

I predict violence in the future of America.

I don't.

There's a reason why Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

So they don't have any time to fight back. Or think.

The problem America is facing is a worthless Democratic Party.

A bunch of people who don't stand for anything because for the past 40 years, Democrats have been electing moderates that don't want to push for progress or upset Republicans.

A bunch of people who are owned by the same lobbies and billionaires who own the Republican Party.

Whether democrats win in 26 or 28 they won't do anything to help reverse the actions of the Republican Party or the destruction Republicans have caused this nation over the past decade.

Lewzer quotes:

"Why Is @BarackObama constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?"

"The country wasn't based on executive orders,"

"Right now, Obama goes around signing executive orders. He can't even get along with the Democrats, and he goes around signing all these executive orders. It's a basic disaster. You can't do it."

For those keeping score, Lewzer has now signed a whopping 460 EOs in just over 5 years. In comparison, Presidents Biden and Obama together signed 439 EOs in 12 years.

Another false declaration

President Trump is committed to ensuring that Americans have full confidence in the administration of elections

Which means they'll be destroying said confidence.

I'll bet not a single one of the unAmerican s^^%stains that post here will speak out against this.

Why would Republicans speak out against this.

I'm sure MAGA Nation is eagerly waiting for him to.

I read the memo.

It's something a first year law student would tear apart.

During the Easter Uprising in Ireland (1916), Irish freedom fighters seized the main post office in Dublin.

The angriest people in Dublin were Irish women:

"Yeah, but we have to eat. Now we can't collect the checks sent to us from our families in America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that are stuck in the bloomin' post office. Bollicks!"

A stalker flags my comments as "FUNNY" which is the equivalent of "NEWSWORTHY" in terms of traffic analysis and highlighting me.

Coriolanus is most appreciative.

Keep up the good work!
