Timothy Snyder, noted author of "On Freedom" and "On Tyranny", is now hitting the alarm bells.
"The people who now dominate the executive branch of the government deny all of this, and are acting, quite deliberately, to destroy the nation."

There isn’t much for our Supreme Court to hear, the Constitution is already clear. And just to be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the power to overrule or rewrite our Constitution.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?
Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.
He served for 37 years.

Imagine showing a petrol engine to someone who had only known electric vehicles, and trying to convince them to switch to petrol. No-one would choose the dirty, noisy, less efficient, more expensive vehicle. This isn't 1910, hostage to gender insecurity. We can just choose the better tech.

This is diabolical.
AI will be utilized by both sides of the aisle, no doubt. Voters will have to do their homework, before believing anything they see.
What Collins is doing to Jon Ossoff is just the tip of the iceberg.
