Christ Almighty Jack‼️ How many bastards do they have waiting in the wings? The depth the depraved Republicans have, is astounding! Please tell me Democrats are equally tough in depth if the situation arises 🙏
Forewarned is forearmed, but usually it seems like all these appointments are just rubber stamped and slid under the door, while we wait to react until it’s too late, and with too little. So far, as usual. HoldingFast, also as is now usual.
You’re right, Randy...most dangerous appointments don’t arrive with a spotlight. They slip in through procedural cracks...rubber-stamped in silence...while the public is looking in the wrong direction.
That’s how strongmen advance...not with dramatic announcements...but with quiet insertions that only show their damage months later.
But here’s the difference this time...people are finally watching the front end of the process...not waking up on the back end of the disaster. Seeing the pattern early...is how you break it. Calling it out before the ink is dry...is how you stop the ‘too little, too late’ cycle.
You’re Holding Fast, Randy...and that matters.
Because the moment citizens stay alert...instead of reactive...the rubber stamp stops being automatic.
I've heard of this guy before through Jessica Valenti's Substack Abortion Every Day -- and he has been a terror against abortion rights in MO and against the voters' wishes regarding making it legal in that state. I also notice these guys who Trump picks - the ones with some training, experience, knowledge, expertise in the positions Trump picks them for -- have the same facial expression -- Todd Blanche carries his face around with the same expression this guy does: dour, mouth comically downturned, perpetual anger, no sign of a smile, self-righteous and ARROGANT. What a toxic stew that makes up these so-called humans. I'm SO sick and tired of the self-righteous arrogance. I should add that while it's almost all men -- there's Pam Bondi with the same facial expression.
The milestone lurk in the quietness of the background. They are the scariest and most threatening. They do the dirty work without notice. Much like an anaconda. Just when I see glimmer, up jumps another devil. Thanks for keeping us alert!
Thanks, Jack. I had almost run out of things to worry about. Actually, I haven't. I worry about who can control the email systems, who can control YouTube where I find good voices and accurate reporting, and who can control the world wide web itself. Can "they," the true deep state, cut off our ability to communicate? I learned thru Vic of Welcome to the Resistance that our very movements are already being monitored thru highway cameras and AI then can tell where we go, when, and who we meet. Not me, exactly, I live in a small town and seldom go anywhere but the store and doc appts. But do you have a Plan B if everything goes dark? Or are the systems strong enough to withstand attacks to the internet?
Last night I watched 1st episode of Ken Burn's American Revolution. Amazing parallels.
This episode led me to reading about "Committees of Correspondence " during revolution.
"The function of the committees was to alert the residents of a given colony of the actions taken by the British Crown, and to disseminate information from cities to the countryside. The news was typically spread via hand-written letters or printed pamphlets, which would be carried by couriers on horseback or aboard ships."
The committees sought to establish, through the writing of letters, an underground network of communication among Patriot leaders in the Thirteen Colonies. The committees were instrumental in setting up the First Continental Congress, which convened in Philadelphia in September and October 1774."
I think Indivisible has been absolutely masterful in the kinds of tactics and strategies that you describe from Ken Burns documentary. It seems that the founders of Indivisible were meant for this very time.
Bailey was our Missouri AG and you’re not wrong.
Yes...regrettably...he was, Nancy.

Thanks for the detailed, necessary description.

Knowing what Andrew Bailey is capable of acomplishing is alarming. How can you/we/anyone prevent him from from achieving his goals.

Can a dem senator hold the line for his confirmation until we take back the Senate?

Sadly, I am not sure I trust all the "leaders" who seem to wilt when things heat up.
We're a nation of soft people, too long accustomed to stability and prosperity.
If steel never gets tempered, it can fail when exposed to stress. So can civilizations.
Jack, does he need to be confirmed or will he be annoited by an appoibtment? Will calling our Senators help?
This is all on point Jack. An observation I’ve made is that Bailey is another white man added to the regime.
I am hoping that the cracks developing among the Republicans will help defeat his nomination.
