There is always something that can be done - while you can't physically remove the politicians, there are numerous other ways to demonstrate your objection. Fascists (and bullies) count on the bulk of the populace apathetic to what's happening, because 'there's nothing I can do', or 'doesn't affect me, I don't live in that state'. A couple of examples: - Spend your money on local establishments, boycotting corporations / oligarchs that have offered bribes to the current administration. No ordering from Amazon, cancelling subscriptions to Apple+ etc. - Refuse to provide any political donations, to either party, until they grow a spine and take action, and telling them that on their email request. - Attend town halls (even if your rep is a Dem) and demand more vocal and visual opposition - Find ways of supporting target communities. If you have a neighbor who's scared of going to the grocery store, offer to do their shopping for them - if you have the ability to assist / shelter someone who's fleeing perceived persecution in another state (such as trans/LGBTQ people), then find a way to do so. - Publicly shun open supporters of this administration. If you get a group chat invite to a Trumper's place for the Super Bowl, reply all with a message like "Sorry, plan on watching the game with people who don't support racist assholes" Lots more examples - but as can be seen in Minnesota, fascism/authoritarianism struggles when confronted with active resistance. Being visible and vocal in your displeasure gives freedom for others to voice their displeasure - because they know they aren't alone.

Fine Print: Presidential behavior only applies to women and visible minorities. White men can say whatever they want without it being a multi-day news story, with the simple explanation of 'owning the Libs'

She might be referring to..

There are large sections of the world outside the United States who are looking at US citizens with the same message

Want to bet that this is a bit of malicious compliance on the part of a CBS staffer or two? No one happened to tell her that copies of the original programming had already been sent out to other streaming services for next day availability

Trump probably only found about Venezuela nationalizing their oil industry in 1976 less than a week ago.

Definitely seems reasonable for years and dollars - warning sign might be that Suarez will turn 35 in March

In Soviet Russia, politicians fall UP stairs

So.. Cameco also has an ownership stake in Westinghouse, and it's not even an American company (assuming that's important to a particular group of people) From their website

I wonder what the response(s) would be if the Cuban military killed everyone on board an American fishing trawler - in either American, or International waters?

We all know that August RBIs are the key metric!

Have his political opponent commit suicide by stabbing themselves 17 times in the back and then falling out of a window

I think the Republicans see it more of an opportunity to get media to focus on the supposed threat, rather than talk about their cuts to Medicaid, or Trump's corruption - it gets them off the front page

I'll only believe that when he convinces all of his followers to drink the Kool-Aid (including himself)

Seems likely that it's a minority government - which will take a long time to explain how that works to Trump voters in rural diners

It's important to recognize that no one is coming to 'save' America from this administration (and it's important to recognize that it's not just Trump, but the entire administration). Congress won't save America, nor the Senate, nor the Courts. Even those that hope for the mid-term election result will likely be disappointed - with a corrupt administration that has access to ALL of American's personal data, do you think that there will be free and fair mid-term elections? Again, it's up to each person to figure out what are their personal 'red lines', and what they will do when those lines are crossed. With the tech bros on the side of the administration, don't expect to see widespread coverage of protests in your social media feeds, or in the mainstream media - they want you to think that you're alone, or think that you're a small minority.

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, the late Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, the author Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch 22 over its whole history. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have . . . Enough.”

Tigers will have a special promotion for those sitting in Sections 104 and 105: "Bring your glove to the park, because you just might be playing Right Field for the team today"

I'd suggest repeated emails / phone calls to your Congress Critters / Senators asking when hearings are going to start
