@BFBucky1 @ProjectShadow Franklin and all the rest of the founders would have already kicked some of these grifters tushes. It is a nation however built on many sins.

Today was 1/2 a half cup of coffee day.
It's happened to other democracies around the world, incumbents are taking a beating, mainly due to inflation.
Just now, Germany's coalition government split, they may have to call a special election in January (not scheduled until next fall).
This week, this month, however long it takes, we grieve, we heal, we recharge, we stay engaged, and we fight. They want us to give up, and we won't, we will keep on fighting.

“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me” -Martin Niemöller
"Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori." I had to learn this poem in school. But there is nothing sweet about what our men and women gave in the wars. It was a necessary evil. And it cost so much. Let us never forget how we maintained our fragile freedom. This week, I honour them, every one of them. Thank you. ❤️

It took 5 but it was quick! The 4th try solved it I just had to switch 2 letters.

Some of these I would never solve the hard way!
"What an irony that on the same day an older woman goes to court to face the consequences of a rape culture, a rapist is voted into the highest office of the land in another country.
When Gisèle decided that 'shame must change sides' and asked for the trial to be held in public, she transformed her pain into something powerful which provided opportunities for us to talk about how sexism and misogyny feed into rape culture."
This was taped before Tuesday but it's a good laugh. By John Oliver
So it appears the GOP won't eliminate voting, they will control the outcomes by limiting who can vote. The Jim Crow South tactic re-emerges. Senator James Comer appeared on NewsMaxx to describe how they need the national voter ID to keep only citizens from voting. Lara Trump described the same elsewhere yesterday. There’s been other talk about blocking votes from people whose gender does match their birth certificate.
I don’t know why I can’t be nice to fascist. Maybe it’s because my dad spent 30 years defending this country and my brother spent 20 years defending this country and most of my family has spent decades defending this country and all that it stands for if that’s a problem for you, go ahead and block me, but I don’t build bridges with fascists.
