I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

@petergleick "Slide toward". 😆
@petergleick Pretty sure Schumer and Jeffries would take their places if any Republicans defected.
@petergleick They are gutless tools.
@petergleick Along with a substantial number of Democrats.
What every US citizen can simply do NOW:
get an ever growing mass of concerned to contact their reps, write/phone/email/scream outside their offices, with #impeachment demand, or, we #primary you with someone who will;
find those candidates https://www.citizensimpeachment.com/
https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
contact your congressional representatives asap (before
the primaries) Spread the word!
do #Democracy
@petergleick and if they don't, and we ever get control back, I will vote for and support and donate and knock-on-doors for the candidate who promises to use the same authorization methods to aggressively enforce every single possible law broken by any Republican in this administration and hold as many of them as possible in prison as flight risks while any felony charges are being pursued.
I want the retribution candidate. I want to see the fucking Nuremberg trials for ICE agents and leadership.
I swear, I'll support fucking beheading some of these assholes.
@petergleick Never mind most democrats also work towards this. It’s just a competition for graft and power.
General strike. Blockade Wall Street. Shut down the oligarchs.
Waiting for elected leaders to do anything is couch potato territory.
@petergleick - they all want to hold onto their jobs and get the, ahem…benefits from those who lobby them. Their actions / inactions have nothing to do with what is best for the country.
@petergleick
Remember to use your vote next November.
30 odd senators and the whole of Congress can be shown the power of your vote
Indeed, and that is the very worrying part…
In the equivalent of the Nuremberg Trials, every single one (and many more) must be held accountable for their many crimes.
BTW: You know how f***ed up Congress is when the most sane and clear-eyed statements come from Massie and Greene.

@petergleick 川建国同志已经79岁了，紧着他活还能活几年？
These politicians know what happens to them in a fascist movement.

One Republican in particular owns all of this. When given the chance to hold Trump accountable and even prevent his ever taking office again, Addison Mitchell McConnell III refused to get his hands dirty.
@petergleick That's why every one of them must be expelled from the country when this is over.
@petergleick It sure would be nice to hear any US politicians saying they think what's happened is illegal, or unconstitutional, or Un-American. I'll hang up and listen.
Not so sure anymore. At this point trump might as well invade and dissolve Congress.
