Ahead of the 2016 election, Trump began saying he might not honor the results of the election if he lost—we all know how that turned out in 2020. When he says he's thinking about a third term in office, we need to take him seriously. Please read: joycevance.substack.com/p/trumps-thi...
Trump’s Third Term
In a telephone interview last week with NBC’s Kristen Welker, Donald Trump refused to rule out running for a third term as president.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.

It is another to hand it to him.

I’m headed to the Senate floor now.

To cast an emphatic “no.”

They should not be allowed to walk the streets in peace. They are traitors to the Constitution, selling us all out because when the moment to fight came, they talked themselves into surrendering instead. Torment them forever.

The word for what Senate Democrats are doing right now is "betrayal." Not only are they voluntarily surrendering the only leverage they have, the leverage they have spent months promising to use against Trump, they're doing it while lying and pretending they want the opposite.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

We've had a lot of recessions, but this is the first one that is completely unforced and entirely owed to just one person. What part of Trump promising "lower prices on day one" meant a market crash, economic recession, and surging prices?

I feel as if we're capable of acknowledging that a one-day boycott is mostly symbolic without becoming contemptuous and dismissive of people finding a little meaning and comfort in such a symbol. The scorn seems petty.
