So, when does this country reach the tipping point?

When do people finally step up and say "enough"? Everyday we see a new horror, a new evisceration of our democracy, a new level of criminality and depravity that surpasses that of the previous day. Seriously, when is enough going to be enough?

Today’s murder should generate a George Floyd level response, IMO.

We shall see.

way past that. Democracy and the rule of law are on its side. It's time for us to set it back up.

Make no mistake, we are doomed, undead. Just pretending otherwise for as long as we can -- which is almost up.

We never reached a "tipping point" during the Vietnam War, did we? Plenty, probably 40% ish, of Americans are either ignoring or cheering these events - just like during Vietnam.

we may never be – too tied to our cell phones and computers.

But if we can motivate, I believe that what's required is a general strike.

We have to hit them in their pocketbooks.

This Cabal is looting the US, other countries, terrorizing and killing us. Renee Good is not the first person murdered by Trump and his cabal. But this is a moment of unique consciousness for the people of the US.

Trump a the entire cabinet and his billionaire backers are totally corrupt and intent upon busting out our country and other countries like the mob terrorists they are. They know they cannot run the US. So they are smashing and grabbing and delaying justice

It looks like 2026 is the year of reckoning for the cabal and for John Roberts.

I actually heard fear in Noem’s voice as she hesitated at points in her narrative of lies about Renee Good’s murder.

I think 2026 is the year of reckoning. Just like Iran it is coming down to we the people
