We put up with it and we don't seem to know enough about our own constitution or government to stop him.

So he keeps it up. We've had our chances and we blew them all playing the tired, old-school political games we always do.

I renew the call for new leadership for the Democratic party. We need people who are willing to risk bold moves to put the saving of democracy, and the country, ahead of their own political career.

with 20th century decorum isn't working. I'm not proposing lawlessness but hard work and courage to combat the blatant lawlessness we're watching unfold in plain site is needed from our leadership.

Since TACO, I keep mine close and use it a lot against a MAGA as proof he is breaking the law. I remind them that our rights and freedoms are what the founding fathers intended, and how the US Supreme Court is violating them.

At least for my piece of mind anyway. Time to organize Civics classes once again to educate people that WE are the Government and WE have the power.

the National Center for Constitutional Studies.

My protest "crew" is going to hand them out and do informational visibility.

I have signs that say: We Love the Constitution

Making other signs with things like:

Article 1 - Congress Do Your Job

The Constitution Called - it wants its emoluments clause back

Various signs regarding the Amendments

I agree. We need more understanding of civics.

Things will be better when Dems take power but until then there is very little Dems can do.

Most Dems are doing what they can.
