He didn’t simply say he has absolute power. Now his name will be printed on every bailout check, and there are tens of millions of Americans who are literally going to think he personally sent it to them. Don’t kid yourself; they’ll want to vote for him in order to say thank you.

It’s beyond “At this rate he’s going to become a dictator.” He’s in the process of becoming one now. Maher says he’s afraid he won’t leave the WH but it’s beyond that already. He doesn’t plan for there to be an election. He’ll say he’s using his emergency powers to “postpone” it.

The scariest part of course is how many Americans would think that’s a good idea. He will at least float this idea at some point. Our greatest hope at the moment lies with Republican senators who know this is true & will find the courage to act. I think there are a few who might.

Yep. But he has done so many illegal things and gotten away with it, that they just keep accruing. We’re like frogs in boiling water.

Marianne, how will we continue to spread this message when they're starting to censor the truth?

Gandhi said the leader of the Indian Independence movement was the “small still voice within.” In days before technological communication, even during darkest days of WW2, people found ways to communicate, form underground movements, collaborate & forge ways forward. So will we.

Oh please. A majority of people get direct deposit. They won’t see a name. How little do you think of the American people that they’d be swayed by a check?

Yeah, right. If that were true, they wouldn’t be going through all the incredible effort it takes to make sure his name is on there.

Then he should put his name on body bags as well.
