The bullying will continue until Der Dotard is stopped by force, by which I mean members of his own party openly threatening, to Trump's face, to vote for articles of impeachment. Until then, he will set loose ICE, the FBI, DOJ and probably the IRS to hound out his perceived enemies. This will not stop, even AFTER Election Day.

All this nonsense about a golf course is only a ruse for our president to openly defy an order from a sitting federal judge. He will think he is getting away with it on the golf course matter, so why not try it with the election--after all, what force will stop him from openly stealing the election? It is not too hard to imagine Dem governors calling out their national guardsmen to protect their states, and by those guardsmen confronting the US Army on the streets of, oh, Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles or Portland. And then what?

It is fair to believe that the elections will not go the way of the MAGA GOP. And then what? Will members of the US House of Representatives, some of whom will lose their re-election bids by numbers too large to result in automatic recounts, stand together and dare to NOT certify the results of the election? What sitting GOP congressmen or senators will stand in defiance of Trump and the rebellious House members working in concert with Trump, so as to brazenly defy the will of the people?

Americans MUST go to the polls and vote in person (mail-in ballots will be burned). Attempts at election theft must be met by protests to our leaders, and probably in the streets. James Madison, in Federalist 46, argued that wide-spread ownership of firearms was necessary for the populace to check a tyrant. The time for that checking may be upon us soon...

This MAGA twunt is doing a great job.

@#13 ... the US Navy was created because Muslims were capturing US citizens and forcing them into slavery. ...

"Thomas Jefferson created the Marines for the Islamic pirates that were happening." (2010)
politifact.com

... On his Fox News program on Jan. 29, 2010, Glenn Beck was providing a history lesson on progressives in U.S. politics when he made the point that the difference between progressives and the Founding Fathers is that the founders thought the United States "should be Switzerland. We should stay out of everybody's business, be friends with everybody."

"I mean, if you're going to mess with us, we're going to pound you," Beck said. "Thomas Jefferson created the Marines for the Islamic pirates that were happening, right?" ...

The Marine Corps annually marks its birthday on Nov. 10, to commemorate the day in 1775 that the Continental Congress formally adopted a resolution founding the Continental Marines, Neimeyer said. During the Revolutionary War, Marines fought with distinction. On March 3, 1776, 200 Marines spearheaded the first American landing on foreign soil, an assault in the Bahamas.

So that's why, if you go the Marine Corps' History Web site, you'll see the banner, "Since 1775, the Marine Corps has been winning battles and defending our nation."

Obviously, that predates Thomas Jefferson's presidency.

It also happens to predate the United States of America. ...


@#31 ... Michigan senator Elissa Slotkin tells reporter that she wants maga prosecuted to discourage young conservatives to become politically involved... ...

What she did say was ...

Sen. Slotkin urges Dems to use prosecution to make young people afraid to serve in Trump admin
nypost.com

... "I want young people coming out of school to say, Should I go work for the Trump administration? That sounds fun, I might get an opportunity,'" Slotkin mused at a University of Chicago event last week that has since gone viral.

"I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems I don't want, and so let me avoid participating in that,'" the senator went on. "I want that deterrence message sent." ...


So she seems to want the message sent that working within the Trump admin may expose yourself to problems down the road.

She seems to be quite correct in that assessment.


"There was testimony from Amazon pilots that claim Amazon was throwing softballs to DEI hire pilots"

Yeah. That's the racism all right.

Amazon does not hire pilots. Amazon Air is flown by contract service organizations, one of whom is Atlas Air.

search.brave.com

The controversy surrounding Atlas Air and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) primarily centers on online speculation linking First Officer Conrad Jules Aska to the fatal Atlas Air Flight 3591 crash in 2019. Online forums and social media users frequently labeled Aska a "DEI hire," implying his employment resulted from racial quotas rather than merit.

However, official investigations and factual records refute the notion that he was hired due to DEI initiatives. The NTSB determined that Aska was hired because he lied on his resume and omitted previous employment failures from airlines like Mesa Airlines, CommutAir, and Air Wisconsin. Atlas Air's hiring committee rated him as "highly recommended" based on incomplete records, and the airline explicitly stated it would not have hired him had its incomplete background check systems revealed his true performance history.

The "DEI hire" narrative persists in some online communities as a speculative explanation for his incompetence, but there is no evidence from the NTSB or FAA that race or diversity mandates played a role in his hiring. The crash was attributed to inadequate hiring practices, a failure to detect deception, and a lack of comprehensive pilot record databases, rather than diversity quotas.
