Senator: I will make myself clear: The danger to the United States of America is the President of the United States, his administration and you people in Congress who cannot figure out whether to be a patriot or a Fascist/Nazi. Tough choice? It should not be, but you Republicans are clearly confused.
1. The demonstrations on Saturday are not paid for by anyone. Get that? We march for free to reclaim our freedom. We are not pro Hamas, or Marxist, as Sean Duffy and Mike Johnson claim (but they know better and so do you.)
Here is who we believe: Thomas Paine:
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.
2. We believe in our democracy and the US Constitution. You took an oath to uphold them. Or did you forget? We haven't and will hold you and the rest accountable for your choices.
The worse things get for MAGA, the more extreme they get. Be prepared for federal government goons on the National Mall and in major cities on Saturday. If the feds send goons, it will only show their fear. Peace, everyone. We're a class act.
The new rallies will dismay the 'publicans when they realize that now EVEN MORE Americans, thanks to our illuminating experience with "Old King Donald," think having a monarch as our ruler is a very, very bad idea that should not be repeated. Ever.
You had me at “track your hours and email your time cards”. Be sure to have proper billing code/job number as well. And the TPS Reports are still due on Monday.
But are they? This maybe gamed as an opportunity. My fantasy is that a few Maga folk attend and wear their red hats inside out or back to front indicate disillusionment. Ah Nah but fun to imagine
I've been to three rallies in my small town -- the last one had over 5,000 according to the local newspaper. They are a lot of fun, and you will meet some wonderful people.
"I marched for justice in the 60s and I never imagined I would have to get out there on the streets again. But decrepitude will not keep me from expressing my rights as an American."
The Republicans are already doing a preemptive strike against the massive demonstrations planned for Saturday October 18, just Google "No Kings" and your city to find your local one. Millions will turn out peacefully to object to the Trump administration's cruelty. The GOP says "It will be a protest with marchers paid by Soros" What? (where are my payments, I've always protested for free!) and are recruiting people to disrupt the marches with violence, which they can then blame on the march. Don't believe it and don't let that stop you.
To my senators, Budd and Tillis this morning:

"Our nation’s most powerful Keebler elf" wins
"That is a lot of protests, which means a lot of protesters, which means Mr. Soros will be signing checks for weeks."
Pretty sure Mr. Soros has an autopen, too. He'll be ok. ;)

Soros has become code for “he’s a JEW!”
It's ALWAYS been code for "Jew."
But are they? This maybe gamed as an opportunity. My fantasy is that a few Maga folk attend and wear their red hats inside out or back to front indicate disillusionment. Ah Nah but fun to imagine
sass - weapons grade sass - is the way to go with these jamokes they have no idea how to deal with it and it makes them madder than a cut snake

“Happy KKKirkday, everyone”.
Will his corpse see its shadow indicating 6 more years of MAGA rule?
Will you celebrate with a big turkey dinner? Don’t y’all fight over the neck now.

Quoting a commenter in the Times:
"I marched for justice in the 60s and I never imagined I would have to get out there on the streets again. But decrepitude will not keep me from expressing my rights as an American."
Amen, sister!
