THIS should tell us all something. Trump is a danger to ALL. Those who were on the INSIDE saw this. Rarely can we rise as ONE Nation. We must vote for President Biden. Not voting for Trump is not enough. We face dangerous and pivotal times. Frankly, I can think of no one better than Joe Biden at this moment in our history. Only Biden has managed to get Republicans to do ANYTHING. And now that seems done with events in the House. Only Democrats are willing to act. What's needed? 1) Biden re-elected 2) Democrats take House 3) Democrats keep the Senate with enough votes to alter the filibuster. THIS is the only road forward. Together WE Can.

It’s time for Biden to do what is right and pass the baton on to a more capable leader who will mop the floor and win in a landslide over our former president. Everyone knows this is the right thing to do, The USA needs to insure our former president (34 felony convictions awaiting sentencing + 54 felony indictments including RICO from 3 independent grand juries in process) is not given the chance to overthrow our democracy and install himself as the fascist autocrat he desires to be. The MAGA Republicans want Biden to be their competition, because they know this is their only candidate they could possibly win against. “Whether Biden continues his 2024 bid for president after his halting debate performance against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is largely his decision, Democrats and political strategists have said. But Biden is under pressure. Some donors have called for him to step aside, and other Democrats are worrying openly that he is not equipped to beat Trump in November. There are 25 Democratic members of the House of Representatives preparing to call for Biden to step aside if he seems shaky in coming days, according to one House Democratic aide. A Reuters/Ipsos poll taken after the debate showed one in three Democrats think Biden should end his re-election bid.” #commonsense #leadership #integrity #nooneisabovethelaw #justice #accountabilty #stoptheinsanity #voteoutMAGARepublicans

TRUMP TRIAL UPDATE From Team Scalise: When Corrupt Jack Smith found out he couldn’t fast-track a sham trial before the election, he immediately hatched a backup plan to end President Trump’s campaign.  So, with the help of the highly partisan judge, he unsealed and released 160 pages of anti-Trump propaganda – 30 DAYS OUT from the election, no less – as a last-minute attempt to help Kamala Harris win.  There were no jury deliberations. No new revelations. And, no cross-examination by Trump’s legal team.  It was a trial by paper to interfere in the election. Jack Smith isn’t in pursuit of justice or the truth. It’s all part of his master plan to: 1) hurt President Trump’s reelection prospects, 2) help promote Kamala Harris to the presidency, and 3) destroy the MAGA movement once and for all. Pure lawfare.

“Trump is Not a Threat to Democracy" The narrative that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy is a political construct exaggerated by the Democratic Party. Throughout his presidency, there was no tangible evidence to suggest that Trump had authoritarian ambitions or that he intended to dismantle democratic institutions. His policies focused on strengthening the economy, securing the border, and prioritizing American interests—none of which inherently undermined democratic principles. Many Democrats, however, have made vitriolic and baseless claims against Trump, labeling him as a fascist and dictator. This rhetoric, aimed at inciting fear and anger, has contributed to two attempts on the former president's life, distracting from the Democratic Party's own actions. For example, the continuous and often hateful comments made by Democratic leaders toward Trump were not only divisive but also fueled unnecessary animosity toward the president, potentially impacting the democratic process of elections. The January 6th Capitol riot is often cited as proof of Trump's supposed threat to democracy. Yet, Trump explicitly called for peaceful protests, which is a First Amendment right, and there is no conclusive evidence that he orchestrated or encouraged the violence. Instead, this narrative is used as a tool by Democrats to further vilify him and his supporters. #TrumpAndDemocracy #PoliticalNarratives #PeacefulProtests

Trump, Biden, and SCOTUS - an outsider's view Before Biden makes his next move, one way or the other, and in light of the July 1, 2024 SCOTUS decision, he should: 1. Introduce an executive ruling that forbids anyone with a criminal conviction, or similar, to ever run for the presidency of the US. 2. Immediately disband SCOTUS as a result of their breach of the Constitution and reconstitute it with appropriate justices who are able to act independently and according to the law. 3. Eliminate and make illegal gerrymandering of the electorate. Establish an independent agency of government to determine all electoral boundaries and to safeguard the essence of the democratic process. 4. Recognise the criticality of the Constitution and the democracy that is its intention and the reality that a Republic win at the next election will kill the US democratic process and objectives of the Constitution. Accordingly, as a result of the (eroneous) perception of Biden's inabilities due to his age, announce that he will not run for another term.

"Yes, but: Just 24% of Democratic voters turned out compared to South Carolina's competitive 2020 primary, and real challenges lie ahead in a general election in which Biden will face a far stiffer challenge." WHAT THIS apparently so-called progressive posture is not telling you is that there was none of these people had to show up at all bec Biden is essentially uncontested: these folks showed up bec they want to vote for Joe Biden. I am getting more than a little worn out by the cherry picking of free floating data without context to get some clicks and/or to skew results to force a desired response. Tens of thousands of dems shown up to telegraph their support of Biden when they knew it wasn't really necessary and if that keeps happening--ala New Hampshire and South Carolina, never mind Haley primary voters who won't vote for Trump--it could represent a real granular pit of quick sand for republicans, esp those down ballot. #Axios 

The GOP Is a Grave Threat to American Democracy Unless and until Republicans summon the wit and the will to salvage the party, ruin will follow. https://lnkd.in/eG5ahCMp Yes, Republicans Still Pose a Threat to Democracy https://lnkd.in/exhSAidt The Biggest Threat to Democracy Is the GOP Stealing the Next Election Unless and until the Republican Party recommits itself to playing by democratic rules of the game, American democracy will remain at risk. https://lnkd.in/ewrAR-5a Trump’s Threat to Democracy Is Now Systemic Each time GOP leaders have had the opportunity to move away from Trump, the party has sped past the off-ramp. https://lnkd.in/ennYpdCS Both major parties do shady things. Only the Republican Party is threatening to break democracy. https://lnkd.in/eR7g-kit

So many good points.

WILL TRUMP'S BEHAVIOR BRING ABOUT THE MIRACLE OF 2024? What miracle you ask? The miracle of turning 2024 into a Democrat landslide, enabling Dems to win the trifecta -- the House, the Senate, and the presidency. Some Republican House candidates are concerned that Trump's rants will turn the independent vote and a good portion of the Republican vote against Republicans. One can only hope and pray that Republican worries do turn into the Miracle of 2024 and bring about a Dem trifecta win. https://lnkd.in/egqpsCNP
