Joe Biden made an impassioned closing argument today in the Republican Battleground Stronghold of Warm Springs Georgia. A brilliant gutsy move in contrast to Trump who is spending hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars flying in the tax payer's Air Force One, speaking in front of ONLY people chanting his praise.
Biden spoke about Trump's failures, the dangers of reelecting a person who's incompetence has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and a dark future with Trump in charge of our government for another 4 year term.
Meanwhile...
Yesterday, Trump Took Two Very Powerful Steps Toward Becoming The United States of America's first Autocratic. His Third Supreme Court Judge Marks the Beginning of an Ultra-Right-Wing Era of Legislation Controlled by a 66 Percent Conservative Supreme Court having Command over a Population with Less than 32 Percent Conservative Citizens. Garret Also Represents the Erosion of the Separation of Church and State which Throughout History has Resulted in Oppression and Revolts. Trump Also Signed Executive Orders Allowing "Disloyal" Federal Employees to be Terminated with no Justification or Recourse.
34% of people in the U.S. identified as conservative in May and June. That's compared to 40% who identified as conservative in January. The Supreme Court is now 66% conservative. Thus, Trump has driven our government into a decades long era of right-wing legislation all feeding this Republican controlled dictatorship.
This is in violation of our Constitution and Bill or Rights providing legal processes to protect "all the people" from being governed by "some of the people". In this case "some of the people" being the wealthy who have empowered the Republicans. This is text-book taxation without representation. Barret also represents an alarming demise of separation of church and state.
One of the first statements Trump made about obtaining this conservative majority supreme court, along with the 1/3rd of circuit and lower court judges he and McConnell hand-picked was they were going "go back and revisit court decisions as far back the the 1970's". THIS IS TERRIBLE. This could spin hundreds of impactful legal precedents including birth control, women's rights, employee rights, environmental protections, even the treatment of animals! ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER WHEN FISHING COMPANIES WERE ALLOWED TO CLUB BABY SEA LIONS AT WILL?!!!
and those of us who are appalled at shootings like Las Vegas, assault weapon mass shootings, etc forget any chance of lowering the 40,000 people who die from guns with this court system. Deaths will only climb.
People who align themselves with this monopolistic regime are pleased. But the end result will be the end of the U.S. democratic society and decades of autocracy. If Trump wins next Tuesday he will use "his" justice department and "his" supreme court, along with the Republican Senate to dictate over the masses.
The masses will revolt. That has been seen throughout history.
And, THIS is why Trump professes to support military, police, guns and weaponry. He know’s what will come. He’s already called for his supporters to take arms and join his “Trump Army”. Trump's claim to be the "law and order" president is really just a mask for "his laws, his orders".
Trump is following Hitler’s exact first steps in 1923-1929. Next will come imprisonment for dissidents (like me!) and ethic and disloyal “cleansing”. That was also set in motion yesterday with Trump's executive orders allowing disloyal federal employees to be terminated with no justification/recourse.
These are the saddest developments to have happen to the once greatest truly democratic country on earth.
I am disgusted with Trump and his supporters' blindness.
