I think about the 20 year-olds tasked with seizing a mother in front of her citizen children. This is not what they signed up for, and I don't think they will stand it for long. This will wreck the military.

Did anyone check Mrs. Trump 's status? Everything up to date and processed?

This is terrifying!!! DT taking complete unrestricted, unchecked control is beyond a nightmare! I am also afraid of what he will do 'under the covers' so to speak...without declaring what he is doing. I feel much of what he will be doing in the future will be hidden and the is equally as frightening!

I agree Terrifying! And on day 1, DT has a stack, huge, of presidential orders that will change the government of the US to whatever he's decided that he wants it to be. Terrifying!

Hopium Chronicles - What's Next? How to Cut the Head Off the Snake Worldwide

🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House. True for every dictator, authoritarian, and oligarch worldwide.

Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental illnesses as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

In one fell swoop, Fitness for Duty Evaluations worldwide, stops every dictator, authoritarian, and oligarch.

"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'

The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.

The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:

* Leadership

* Committees

* Floor Procedures

* Party Discipline

It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.

As long as Congress and Trump's cabinet have their collective lips wrapped around Trump's johnson, no one will be able to enforce the rules.

The 2024 Presidential Election was razor thin. Lots of room for Opposition against authoritarianism and towards democracy.

Expand full comment

2.5m votes isn't razor thin, but it isn't the biggest landslide in history as Trump claims. But you are right. The vote doesn't determine the outcome. This will be like eating the proverbial elephant, one bite at a time.

Stolen Election? Data Scientist Expert Finds Huge Irregularities--ONLY in Swing States—Warns V.P. Harris

Data Scientist's Shocking Call for Election Recount Raises Scary Questions! w/ Stephen Spoonamore

Spoonamore’s Update of 11-17-24

https://www.reddit.com/r/2024VoteIntegrity/comments/1gtg08c/update_from_stephen_spoonamore_hello_i_have_heard/

TL;DR version:

DATA SCIENTIST expert Stephen Spoonamore, who has tracked elections for many years, has found statistically nearly-impossible "bullet ballot" results in favor of DJT in 2024--in JUST THE SEVEN SWING STATES. (A "bullet ballot" is where a voter goes into the booth, votes only for president and leaves all down ballot races blank. Statistically they occur less than 1% of the time, but in these swing states, bullet ballots in favor of DJT are as high as 5-7%, ensuring Trump exceeded the thresholds required for recount.)

Please read Mr. Spoonamore's letter, above, and use your voice to demand hand recounts--before it's too late!

And please circulate the above as widely as you can, starting with your elected representatives, and anyone you know with influence in the MSM--and don't forget to forward it to as many people concerned about the future of our democracy as you possibly can. Thank you!

WHO is Stephan Spoonamore?

And for those who wonder if Stephen Spoonamore is some sort of “quack,” he is not. Here are three of the 10, brief points of Mr. Spoonamore’s "Update of 11-17-24:"

3/10 I would also like to clear up something that keeps coming up. I am an executive who has spent most of my professional life MAKING things. The hardware and sub-systems of our connected world. Or the advanced materials that underlie those systems. I am not dude in a hoodie at a keyboard.

4/10 I have founded and served as CEO or CTO of more than a dozen such companies. 8 of them venture or PE backed. 2 of these firms failed completely. Most of the others were sold in exits that have generated my investors -and me- wealth. In some ways, I am a tech-bro, but I have some moderating gene.

5/10 I believe a pluralist, tolerant #Democracy is the bedrock, soil and root of every good thing I cherish. This election, in my view, the forces who HATE the democracy I love decided to finally go for the kill shot. For Putin and Trump is existential. For Musk and Vance, its a LOLZ takeover.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Again--we're ONLY asking for a small, HAND RECOUNT in just SEVEN SWING STATES. If Mr. Spoonamore is wrong, we're no more fucked than we already are--but he's GIVING us the chance to TAKE BACK what looks like suspiciously like another stolen election (thinking about how the Supremes "decided" there "...wasn't enough time to count all the votes in Florida in 2000..." and HANDED the election to W. Bush. WE DESERVE BETTER, so PASS IT ON to your elected representatives, V.P. Harris, the MSM and anyone else with potential influence!!

I was married to a narcy. The key word being "was". He would lie when the truth sounded better, he undermined my attempt at balancing the checkbook every month, and he gaslit me to the point where I dressed up nice and smoked crack with him because being THE BITCH about everything when he (finally) got home every night was the REAL reason we were having problems. Tell me, again, how it's the Democrats that keep fucking up with their messaging and ignoring their constituents, and I'll show you a narcy smiling as he shoves the shiv in your back.

We’re about to find out if our military is as corrupt and mentally ill as the rest of our institutions.

Military law also allows everyone in the chain of command to disobey and challenge illegal orders. trump will fire his way through commanders until he finds those who will bend over the desk.

Expand full comment

This clarified the legal protections we have, and also the ways trump can circumvent them, unfortunately. Is anyone going to stop him from creating a police state?

Thanks for this information. Now we need to know what we, as citizens, can do. In my activism previously, we aligned with attorneys who represented them, informed immigrants of their options and got country detention centers closed to immigrants. I also gave out red cards to give ICE when ICE was doing collateral roundups

of immigrants. My question to you is: Will any of these methods-- working with attorneys or red cards be effective if the military are rounding them up? If not, what can we as citizens do? Thanks!

The standing POTUS should've used such assumed powers on 1/6 . Those law enforcement were over-run and out numbered. Huh, I don't see the difference. That Trump initiated insurrection was far more of an immediate threat and danger to The Capital . It's just the basic threat to 'THE AMERICAN WAY' which bothers myself. "Give us your hungry, your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breath the air of freedom." High minded words. But if we're gonna have em on our welcome mat and not live by them, what are we but a nation of hypocrites.

What about the American citizens who get caught up in this because they don't have their paperwork to show they're American citizens? I see it happening and what about the Posse Commitatus act of 1875? That law is in the US Constitution and just because we have a paranoid POTUS who goes after people he deems not worthy to be American, just throwing red meat to his racist cult members. His big election win isn't as big as he claims, just like he claimed to have won in 2020, kow towing the Republicans who don't actually believe his nonsense but lack the spine to do anything about it. They saw what happened to Liz Cheney and the other Republican members of Congress who just quit and wouldn't even fight for their beliefs. Check the vote totals after they're all counted and see that his win wasn't as big as he claims and maybe the 5th smallest in history. If you take the votes from the 3rd party candidates, Harris would have won. It's odd that he won states that his recount people got illegal access to and are going to prison for it. Why did they copy the software and this was done in swing States that gave him the electoral college win. Strange in states that people would vote for a Female Senator yet vote for him? This doesn't seem plausible but I guess it could happen.

Will the Congress want to support an authoritarian regime? Can’t we ask them to answer that question? And suggest that blanket approval of Trump’s unconstitutional actions or blind loyalty or fear to stop his actions are all steps to allow him to circumvent the Constitution. This may be a naive approach. It seems imperative that we raise some hell with our members of Congress to stand against the man who wants to be our unstoppable leader. First take action!! And while we do that, I pray there could be 2/3 majority of strong-minded folks who, when push comes to shove, might just want to stand for democracy. How can we not?

Kent State

Expand full comment

I’m old enough, and I’m sure there are others here as well, who remember the National Guardsmen shooting and killing the Kent State protesters. That went over like a lead balloon and it affected the men who shot them as well. Men and women in uniform are going to be asked to find where their moral bottom line is during this next administration. They’d better be willing to answer for their actions should they decide on possibly firing the first shots on domestic soil against innocents; and yes, innocents will be swept up in the madness too.

I’m just wondering how the governors in states like California and Illinois for instance, are going to handle a possible “invasion” by a weaponized military? I can see such a possibility happening and it’s a sickening thought. What legal means will be available that will keep the stormtroopers and brown shirts away from these statehouses?

the "illegal immigrants" are only a pretext for tRumputin's reign of terror to exterminate ALL or as much as possible of ALL Americans, foreign or native-born, who disagree with him&his. he said that for him the enemy is all different from him Americans as he monstrously calls us/them "enemy within" (which is his projection of himself actually; it's how he operates), not regimes in russia, china, iran etc....

tRumputin IS a blend of the most evil dictators in the whole history of humankind - hitler-stalin-pol pot-putin-pinochet.

President Biden and his Administration simply must act to stop and end tRumputin BEFORE IT GETS REALLY TOO LATE!!

Is there nothing that this Orange Buffoon won't crap on or his self hating Gerbals impersonater. They whine and they complain about being compared to Hitler but how many other historical examples are parallel to their actions. We just call it like we see it. When you create your own propaganda media outlets and refuse to accept the consequences of your actions who else are we to compare you to? If the decades old border problems such an emergency why didn't you fix it the first time around or allow it to be fixed with the comprehensive bipartisan plan written by James Langford. There is no mandate Donnie and the voter's who believed the lies that you told them just wanted you to show how that business education that your father bought would bring down inflation.

I have a question about the oath that members of the military. I have never served, but don't they take an oath to defend our country and Constitution, not the president? I understand that he is the "commander and chief", but don't they have a right to question that order? I would think that there are some officers that would or, at least try to talk some sense into him.

I am just asking so, please don't chastise me. ✌🏼
