The Autocracy Bus Drove Right Through "The Courts" Guard Rails

Am I allowed to say that the courts did not save us now? The Supreme Court not only enabled our dictatorship it severely gutted the lower courts.

Krasnov lawyers have been caught lying to federal judges and those judges have only talked about holding them in contempt of court. Not one lying Krasnov lawyer has been held in contempt because federal judges fear retribution from Dear Leader.

The courts not only failed us, they enabled the move from democracy to dictatorship.

It has always been about the people saving ourselves. Democrats needed to do town halls that were issue-based, not just rallies or someone standing behind a dais asking for questions. No, Democrats needed to put faces on how the Big Ugly Death Bill is going harm and kill Americans. They needed to let the people who are going to be the most affected tell their stories at town halls and their local news stations would have covered it, even local Fox News would have covered it.

Could still do that now but as I have posted many times, Time Mattered.

I get a dozen texts a day asking me for campaign donations, they are asking me for money for drapes for our house while our house is burning down. If elections happen, I will donate, but right now I am donating to Indivisible and the ACLU.

is a nation of laws and that no man is above the law?

Yeah, me too.

And it turned out to be a BIG whopper of a lie.

Laws are for us, the little people, not for the wealthy and powerful, UNLESS they screw over other rich people, then they might see consequences. Maybe.

And the number of troops in LA was just cut in half.

A judge has ordered a stop to racial profiling by ICE in SOCAL.

So, the courts haven’t completely failed us, but the judicial corruption is plainly evident in many places.

It has always been about the people saving ourselves.

Indeed- no politicians, judges, or celebrities will save us, not even Bob Dylan.

It is up to us.
