Here's What the Orange Asspickle Will Do Now

[maxrandb]

He's been completely unleashed. Thanks to the cowards in the Senate, I predict the following...at a minimum.

- He'll deploy ICE agents and the National Guard to urban polling places for the 2020 election.

- He'll direct AG Barr to open investigations into prominent Democrats, including every House Manager, and of course, President Obama.

- He'll hold federal funds for ANY state that didn't support him (he's already doing this to California and Puerto Rico.

- We'll be bombing Iran.

- The Amendment limiting presidential terms to 2 will be challenged on "national security" concerns and the Supremes will rule 5-4 to allow unlimited terms.

- Facebook and Twitter will be forced to turn every anti-Trump post over to the DOJ.

- Sites like DU will be required to turn over posters personal data to the DOJ.

The restraints are gone, and the above is only if there are no major national disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes or terrorist attacks. Should one of those happen, it will be worse.

My advice is to get ready to fight for this country, or make sure you have an exit plan.

Today, this country died.

1. He'll have his opponents arrested

This is surely coming.

[hlthe2b]

2. I understand your fear, but take it one step at a time.

We haven't lost all just yet. Focus on November.

[Zolorp]

9. November is going to be a sham.

Trump's lawyers argued he has an absolute right and the absolute power to do ANYTHING in order to win elections.

The shackles are gone.

Trump is about to become the second US president to win with 100% of the Electoral College.

[hlthe2b]

11. I refuse to believe we can not overwhelm with our votes. But not if we give up. Please consider.

Being demoralized enough that progressives spread the hopelessness is EXACTLY what Trump and his ilk hope for.

[Zolorp]

15. I'll show up.

I expect his goons to be at the polls with lists of registered Democrats to stomp us before we even enter the polls.

But I'll show up. They'll have to stomp me to death and if that is what happens, so be it.

3. Some words from John Lewis

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way." #goodtrouble

6. Applicable at a time when this country was an actual functioning democracy

its basically like in the movie titanic when the band was playing the music while the boat was sliding into the water ...

[hlthe2b]

13. Stop spreading the demoralization. We have NO choice but to fight for November with an overwhelming

turnout.

[Cosmocat]

24. Yeah - I will be playing in the band

just know where it is heading ...

[maxrandb]

8. Sure, America will get right on that

as soon as we see who gets the rose

[hlthe2b]

12. Giving up? How damned helpful.

[maxrandb]

20. I'm not giving up

I'm volunteering with my local Democrats.

I'm writing letters to the editor of my local paper.

I'm calling my local talk shows, even though they broadcast nothing but right-wing racist hate.

I'm talking to people in my social network.

I'm not giving up, I'm just telling the truth about the dangerous precipice we are on... and I'm making plans to exit America when and if the time comes.

It's not dispair... it's determined reality.

Let's not kid ourselves. Defeating Donnie Shit for Brains in November is going to be just a small step in the hard slog to fix what these fucksticks have broken.

[KPN]

16. When are we going to make some necessary trouble?

Seems like trouble is now necessary. If we want to win in November, we need to stir the nation up and keep them stirred. Without that, people will forget about the sham carried out by the great projectionists this past week.

We saw the same in May with the Mueller report. Acceptance and back to day-to-day life concerns and priorities like how am I going to pay rent? how am I going to be able to help my struggling kids without capsizing my own retirement?

[Ilsa]

4. A friend is trying to make sure

Hispanics she knows are registered to vote, and she has offered to rent a van to provide transportation. She said they are terrified, even though they are citizens. They can't afford to be swept up under suspicion for being here illegally. They've heard the stories, and are afraid they'll lose their jobs, etc.

Trump's intimidation is working, sadly.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

5. I don't think he do all of the things on that list...

...but he most definitely will do some of them.

[Botany]

7. And the following will happen:

Michael Flynn will walk with no prison time thanx to Barr, Trump, and a Trump appointed judge.

Roger Stone will get a pardon.

Manafort, Gates, and Michael Cohen will all get pardons after a rigged election.

Trump will hold his "Bund Rallies" almost weekly and speak about "the enemies of the American People."
Violence will result from these rallies.

And Trump will still do exactly what Vlad, the Saudis, and Turkey's Erdogen tell him to do.

10. I started packing my household belongings two weeks ago. Estate sale

is scheduled for May 7 through 10. House on the market.

[hlthe2b]

14. Where are you going?

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Putting some stuff in storage in Illinois and then will spend the

next couple of years traveling the world. Most tourist visas give you 90 days to 6 months in a country.

[hlthe2b]

22. Lucky you. Lots of us are stuck. I surely am.

[mahina]

18. And then?

Good luck with the house.

[Faux pas]

17. My thoughts

exactly plus a few I hadn't thought of. We be screwn.

[Stuart G]

19. This country is NOT dead..but today I learned a new term, "Orange Asspickle."

That is worth something, but not much...

[struggle4progress]

23. You got to reap what you sow
