NO elected government official (including state and local) should be able to invest in anything directly while in office. Set it up in a blind account, managed by an adviser of the same caliber as the layperson to ensure they don’t lose their investments. NO direct input from the elected official.

Tried to sign, but it won’t accept my email. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It IS spite. If YOU didn’t vote, KNOWING what would happen if Drumpf won, then YOU DID THIS!! YOU can throw your tantrum when we have a democracy. With Drumpf, you will have NO FUTURE OPTIONS!!! WE are LOSING OUR DEMOCRACY, because people didn’t vote. It’s selfish!

They HAVE been doing that and then some! They have NO POWER! Until WE show up to vote out MAGA, Dems can do nothing substantial. Filibusters are only delays. Did you miss the last one they did, recently?

That’s not an answer. WHAT DO YOU WANT, more than speaking out, joining protests, stepping in to protect immigrants and constituents. WHAT MORE can they do? They can talk to the Rs, but you know the Rs are controlled by Drumpf. They won’t listen. I blame the Dems who didn’t vote out of spite.

It already is. Criminals are dressing up in cosplay and attacking women in broad daylight. NOW!

Like getting arrested for defending and protecting constituents?

What do you want that’s different than leaders being arrested while standing up against this admin?

They are and getting arrested in the process. It’s just not being reported like it should be, just as the protests are not being covered.

They left out Melania’s proof of legal status. That was supposed to be 2 weeks.

And they STILL say, “Let’s just wait and see.” It will be too late then.

I know. And we (I and many I know) posit leaving for what we see in other countries that we try to make happen here. But we realize, if we leave, we’ll lose the fight to make our country a beacon again. Got to stay and fight.

Trying! If we we give up, the world will start dealing with US refugees.

It’s because they don’t understand forecasting. They ALL (everyone I’ve heard in Lives) say “That’s guessing. It’s not proof. Let’s wait and see.” No kidding!? But past history/data paints a really good picture of potential events. “Wait and see” is TOO LATE. They don’t get it.

Unfortunately, those who have the means (bank accounts) are not the ones wanting/needing to leave. And therein lies the issue.

It’s bizarre how much people will twist themselves up to try to deny the similarities of what’s going on now, to what happened in 1930’s Germany. People who lived through it and fought it are STILL ALIVE. They know history is repeating itself.

I don’t bet. It’s a fool’s risk. But show me where he has followed the laws and used CONGRESS to push forward his agenda. He only uses EOs to see how much he can do, and IGNORES court orders. GOP is bought or beholden so they won’t push back, just like his TWO IMPEACHMENTS.

DAYS. The deadline for the status update on the border is Sunday - 90 days from inauguration. Many think he’ll use the info (still “unsecured”) to announce the invocation on the Insurrection Act and Marshall Law. From what I’ve seen the last 2.5 months, it would NOT surprise me if he tried this.
