Hopefully, every rational country in the world stands with you.

If Musk hadn’t helped Trump rig the election, he never would have won.

Love from Australia.

Trump is nothing but a bully and Governor Newsom called his bluff and stood up to him. Trump is angry when anyone stands up to him. Trump is a coward.

You think ppl didn't see this coming? We all probably didn't think this administration would attempt this in such a short period of time bc there isn't anyone in that administration who knows what they are doing and rushing into this is a huge mistake. I'm guessing things in the W.H. are in such a disarray with TV personalities at the helm none with any experience in how the government operates all the baseless threats from a clearly unfit man with delusions of grander throwing everything at the wall at one time isn't a very calculated plan.

This is becoming really scary. We need to fight harder than ever before against this dictator and get him out of the WH. SCOTUS won't help us, we the people, but they will help trump with his dictatorship and Johnson is just another flake in the corrupt barrel. Any possibility that, we the people, can get enough signatures to impeach him ourselves. Don't think it's something we can do and is just a thought. Everything he is doing is illegal, maybe it's time we did something the way he does. It would be transparent right in front of everyone as Johnson says about trump's crimes. I am just sick about everything that is happening as are you. I feel so damn helpless.

Trump says he should be arrested as he ran for governor and has done a lousy job. Does that mean Trump can be arrested as he ran for president and is doing a lousy job, plus breaking laws, telling lies, etc. etc.?

Protests must be peaceful!!! Burning cars defeats the message of the protest! Do not engage in violence!!

Exactly, Jodi.

Passive resistance along with being silent works the best. That way no authority can hold your non-violent behaviour against you.

Problem is getting thousands of people to sit quietly and not reply/react to the nasty verbal taunts that the instigators will certainly toss around.

It's what we called in the 1960s a 'silent sit in'.

We all silently sat in a very large group, reading, quietly speaking with each other or quietly doing something arty-craft or just snoozing. Many of us held umbrellas to keep the harsh Sun off our heads.

The authorities couldn't use their riot gear because we were silent and still and did NOT react to the verbal taunts and threats. With the media watching closely, and the authorities could only drag people away. The protestors didn't fight back, yell, scream or be abusive in any way. The only charge that could be leveled at a protestor was loitering or trespass.

If the protestors do this today with the entire world watching, it'd sure give the statement about what that orange plague is all about.

A problem is the undoubted presence of agent-provocateurs among the peaceful protestors. As Governor Newscom (did I spell that correctly?) stated, the protests were peaceful until ICE Agents got imvolved. It's the start of a putsch. Declare martial law, send im the marines, cancel the 2026 mid-term elections, elevate Vance to the presidency and USA becomes an autocracy.

Very true, Stephen. It takes only 1 person to deliberately stir up trouble and everything turns to s#it. You've pretty much described a possibility in play.

To those of us who live overseas, it already looks as if the USA has an authoritarianism/regime/fascist party in place. Miller/Project 2025 etc just hasn't placed the last of their 'ducks in a row' for the complete totalitarian regime.

The planet has already lived through what one dangerous madman did (WWII) and history saw & recorded those results. Many people suffered and large areas of land were decimated.

I'm quite sure there's many of us out there who have a parent, grandparent or relative who lived through those horrors.

I just saw one of Adam's videos where reporters are being taken away, detained and questioned. Also where reporters are being targeted and shot with rubber bullets.

https://youtu.be/c67OP7sx12U?si=I70MRvI1k-KViHxf

Have seen other videos of reporters being led away and questioned. None of the reporters in any of the videos had pale complexions.....

BIG MISTAKE in targeting and shooting an Aussie!

'Big mistake, big...huge!'
