If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection
Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history?
There's a simple answer.
The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

The power of propaganda lies in its ability to replace critical thought with emotional loyalty; once this threshold is crossed, facts become irrelevant, and allegiance becomes absolute.

Executive orders are not legislation. They are implementation guidance to the executive branch. The significance of this is that Trump is behaving like a dictator. He thinks he is creating laws and assumes no one will stop him.
Trump ahead of signing executive orders: "We're signing some important legislation."

I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify *them* into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.
