Your succinct equating of the Cabinet picks with ICBMs, feels quite prescient. Pre-ICBM Casandra’s would have proclaimed the Titanic has hit the iceberg. An inspiring Rebecca Solnit meme these days, reminds us that we can’t save everything, but we can save some things, and everything is worth saving

I had a post removed today that was a link to a Substack by David Pepper regarding Trump's plans to control our military to protect him from us. REMOVED.

Worthless Biden will do nothing to protect the United States just as he did nothing to prosecute lying Trump and the insurrectionists in Congress. He's as guilty as the "conservatives" that have rolled over for the Christofascists.

Embrace the Second Amendment. The language was originally in the Declaration of Independence.

We were fighting for American freedom then against a more powerful opponent on our own soil.

The right to bear arms was later incorporated into the Constitution as the Second Amendment.

Stock up on firearms and ammunition.

The current Supreme Court has only made the 2nd Amendment more broad.

Let the trumpians “attempt” to attack the 2nd Amendment - especially when food prices don’t come down.

Putin and his kind are able to control their populations because no one can shoot back.

Want a real resistance?

Arm yourselves!

I live among people who have guns and were in the school “special education” pipeline.

Outsiders don’t particularly want to bother them. A polite encounter is a safe encounter.

Understand and embrace (instead of fearing) what our country’s founders did. They were the hunted ones at that time.

Had the Democrats taken the Presidency and top offices we might be having other discussions about guns. But they didn’t and this country is faced with an attack from within being directed by a foreign adversary.

So - arm up - Russian citizens don’t have that right - Americans do.

Use it - let the opposition know they won’t have an easy fight

It’s a version of that Midwest/Detroit style philosophy:

Mind your own business - an armed society is a polite society

Right there with you, Jenn. I'm 40 pages in, but I know how it ends. So surprised that Kamala won't announce the fight and enlist her minions to recount the votes. She has 44 hours to decide in NC.

Non-fiction horror writer, indeed.

Yeah, those annoying text messages for more money still keep coming from Nancy Pelosi while the Dems do nothing to stop the oncoming crisis. This is what happens when we let the billionaire set control the media and set no boundaries on broadcasting lies and propaganda.
