Every single federal government employee swore an oath to
uphold the United States Constitution.
And NOT ONE of them is doing it.

Speaker Mike Johnson has AGAIN violated our Constitution by
adjourning the House until after the November election.
Article I. Section 5. Clause 4 says:
"Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall,
without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than THREE DAYS, nor to any
other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."

The Senate did NOT consent.

NOT ONE House member, senator, or staffer even noticed.
NOT ONE has objected.
Because most of them have never READ the Constitution and
has no clue what it says.
Because they’re lazy and stupid.

So WE MUST MAKE NOISE.
Call your House and Senate members.
DEMAND that they file formal objections.
And contact the media until they pay attention too.

AMERICA: 250 YEARS. AND COUNTING?
Read the Declaration of Independence. Yes, you. Yes, now.

On Saturday, Americans will celebrate our 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with picnics, parades, and fireworks. Meanwhile, the United States government is a shambles thanks to a flagrant crybaby narcissist who blatantly violates US and international law.

The United States and International Law
Yes, MAGA, it’s real.

Republican MAGAts claim that Donald Trump’s global relations powers are unlimited because international law doesn’t exist. As usual, they’re wrong. The United States Constitution refers to it four times. Most of them know they’re lying. The rest are just stupid lemmings.

From 2018, but more relevant than ever.
Protests and Demonstrations Do Bring Change
We Can’t Make Progress Without Them.

Many Americans think that mass public demonstrations began in the 1960s. Actually, they’ve been around for hundreds of years, and they’re familiar throughout the world. Demonstrations are a necessary ingredient for social evolution. No significant social, economic, or political change has ever happened anywhere in the world without some form of protest or demonstration.

Fresh from the printer.

The U.S. War Powers Act
Donald Trump has violated it.

On June 21, Donald Trump sent crewed American aircraft into Iranian airspace to bomb three Iranian nuclear facilities because his birthday parade flopped and he’s a whiny crybaby.
Now we continue our national debate about his fitness for the job and authority to issue that order.

Our American Journalists Are Failures
They Promote Donald Trump’s Biggest Scam.
Journalism used to be an honorable profession. But our Fourth Estate causes more damage
to our country with their coverage of the Trusk twins’ stunts than those two imbeciles could ever
dream of.

It's a wonder that Democrats ever get elected.
They suck at campaigning.

Having Obama speak to a room of only campaign volunteers is monumentally stupid.
It's a waste to time, money, and opportunity.

The point of campaigning is to reach people who ARE NOT already committed to the candidate.

She's gonna lose.
