She's not wrong.
Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.

Trump and Musk have plenty of money with which to hire a million-strong personal army to use against U.S. citizens.
My guess is that the FBI has a massive database of terrorist White Supremacist groups who they have deemed a danger to society.

But who Trump wants to use as a personal army.

Firing anybody who deems these groups dangerous, immediately liberates & emboldens them.

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

I hope people see how truly alarming this is:

1. Musk's team, who may not even be US govt employees yet, have complete access to OPM's databases of PII on federal employees and have locked out career employees

2. Musk's people trying to do same with THE US TREASURY MASTER PAYMENT SYSTEM 🚨

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Trae Crowder is too funny. It is so hard to laugh right now, but he always finds a way.

"Crickets - hey maybe we can feed those to our kids." 😂

And that little wry smile after "We could run out of food in 2 days."

The thing I can't understand is how DJT learned that in April 1945 Hitler shot himself in the head to evade execution while Mussolini's dead body was hung upside down in a town square & mutilated by his own people ... & then said to himself: you know, I think fascism has a happy ending for me.

If Trump were to seize Greenland, a NATO member, under the NATO charter, NATO would be compelled to defend. This would either pit America vs NATO or force NATO to back down and dissolve.

This is a Trump-Putin joint effort to destroy NATO together.
