Dan!! You have seen and lived thru more than most of these Maga trash. You stood in the mud in Vietnam, you cringed as Nixon lied. You are a witness to this current insanity. Please speak louder! Why arent you on TV?

There’s no question that many Americans are firmly against Trump, yet at the same time, he still commands strong support from a large base. Balancing those opposing realities isn’t simple, and it makes me wonder whether this level of division could eventually test the cohesion of the U.S. federation, even if it doesn’t lead to a formal breakup.

Like Mike Bloomberg said: all the millionaires know him to be a conman and liar.

Invoke the 25th. He's unfit to be in office.

Dan Rather……..What will God say to His children on Judgement Day, who gave their vote of support to politicians, who support and legislate the legal murder of unborn babies?

You are well on your way to burning in Hell for eternity. You can repent, but I kind of doubt you will. Go ahead, classify me as a crackpot, religious nut, whatever. First, try reading Leviticus 20:1-5.

JUMP NOW!

BEFORE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

IS COOKED!

When the pot starts to BOIL, it's too late to raise a voice of dissent.

Starting a JUMP NOW nation-wide campaign may alert Americans on the street to pay attention.

Everyone knows the "gradually increase the heat on the frog in the pot" fable. It might be the image that jolts Americans (Democratic and Republican, liberal and conservative, Christian/Jew/Muslim/Mormon/ atheists) into paying attention.

Get smart, creative people to create a campaign (posters, bumper stickers, memes, social media blitz, etc) promoting the idea that

DEMOCRACY IS BEING COOKED....... BUT THE TIME IS NOW TO SAVE IT!

Mobilizing Americans to communicate their solidarity simply and clearly seems critical to getting the masses to unite and begin to convince Senators and Congressmen to get on the right side of history!

Utilize the power of enough people repeating the same message enough times that others start to believe and repeat JUMP NOW!

What do you think?

Who/what group needs to be energized to spearhead the JUMP NOW movement and make every American aware of the crisis and give them to community to join that will deliver the prospect of freedom from chaos and hope for prosperity!

SO happy PA has a democrat Governor Shapiro’s work in protecting our rights, our access to vaccines, and so much more is uplifting. We would be so much worse if another Republican was in office. Corbett was awful and he absolutely would be bowing to Trump.

"A majority of the American people don’t just dislike his policies — he is underwater on everything from immigration to the economy — but they deeply dislike how he is governing."

I think he is against the freedom of thought, the freedom of the economy, the freedom of politics. He´s against freedom alltogether and against development. How can he live with himself? He makes promises which he never keeps, the entire world feels this since he was reelected. Nobody cares for Mr. Trump, yes and he doesn´t listen to the critics, even fires them but expects in return to be followed and listened to every second of our little lives. The poor and helpless are his victims, he is like a shark. Our future is being destroyed everywhere in this world for what reason?

I like the fact that Democratic leaning states are organizing. I am bit confused by this repeated emergency activation of the National Guards. How much authority does POTUS have when it comes to declaring an emergency as it seems there are a lot of emergencies being declared that do not seem to be real. The other area is election process and voter redistricting, is this authority vested in the state rights?

We do need a clear definition of what constitutes an emergency. The word of a paranoic deranged man should not be the criteria.

Thank you for this information!

I know Schumer had his reasons. He was on The View explaining them, but I disagreed with them. If the Democrats had stood up to Trump then, we wouldn't be where we are now. At the time I felt Democrats were complicit. I've seen the government shut down before, and it never lasted long. To me, it's the only play now if we don't want to see things snowball worse if Democrats vote in favor of this latest round of preventing the government from shutting down. It will not be near as dire as what will happen of the Democrats capitulate again.

Thanks Dan! This article gives me a bit of hope, where I had lost much! I was beginning to think that there was no way to fight Trump! I was beginning to think that the Democrats had given up the fight, and were only giving us lip service! And I agree, it's time to play hardball! Send in the tough guys and let's win this!!! Batter up!! 😁

Dan, I agree Democrats can not wait till 2026. THE TIME IS NOW.
