So will I Peggy. I am so tired of people doing nothing. Steve Schmidt’s Substack says it well. People don’t do anything until it directly affects them personally…It takes discomfort for people to care, and until it does, (and even if it does) we tolerate complete insanity. And it is!

I agree Carol. I’m looking for other people who want to act. I’m not sure where they are. I am on a Canadian group and they are suggesting we meet together at Niagara Falls as a joint protest of what’s happening. I will say they are more encouraging and welcoming than any other group I’ve found. They do want to act and make sure this horrible shit does not happen in their country. How horrible that would be.

Hi Peggy. Niagara Falls is a good place, for sure. I’m Canadian born—Hamilton, which is not far from Niagara, and moved to the U.S. as a kid, so dual citizenship. My Canadian relatives are incensed—and at me, too! Are you subscribed to Steve Schmidt’s Substack? One of the best here, I think.

Carol Shuman Ph.D.'s avatar

Thank you! I am so ticked that media is not covering protests…other than a few…was the protest in Windsor or did the Canadians come over to Detroit?…I really appreciate your letting me know that—as a kid (MANY years ago) I lived for a little while in Windsor. (I’m Canadian born). Have American citizenship and lived here since I was 8 years old, so hopefully Trump won’t put ICE on me! I know he’d love to do that! This business has certainly upset/angered Canada—rightfully!

It’s insane when people blame us for this mess. Including relatives.

Something needs to be done soon. It’s going fast.

I do subscribe to Steve Schmidt’s Substack. He’s one of the best for truth. He’s on Jim Acostas Substack a lot which I also like. I am on a group called

Canada Resists which is a great place to feel connected.

I’m sorry, but the Supreme Court has already ruled on this very question, in 1925. A “Constitutional lawyer” should know that, or at a minimum, look it up.

My longer comment with the cite, is above. Basically, “criminal contempt committed by disobedience of a federal district court, is an ‘offense against the United States’ within the meaning of the Pardon Clause.”

Veronica von Bernath Morra's avatar

I used to watch CNN. I USED TO LIKE THEM. But in the last few years they forgot the TENETS of journalism:

A journalist is,expected to answer five questions:Who,what, where, when and Why. Opinions are NOT JOURNALISM.

Journalists should aim to present all sides of a story and provide context, allowing the audience to form their own informed opinions.

Journalism should be free from outside influence, whether political, corporate, or personal. Reporters should avoid conflicts of interest and remain impartial.

Journalists should strive to present multiple perspectives, avoid bias, and ensure balanced reporting.

Journalists must take responsibility for their work. If they make errors, they should correct them promptly and transparently.

The primary duty of journalism is to serve the public, providing information that helps people make informed decisions and hold power to account.

Reporters should minimize harm, considering the impact of their reporting on individuals and communities. Sensitivity is especially crucial in covering tragedies or vulnerable groups.

Journalists should disclose their sources when possible, explain their methods, and distinguish between fact and opinion.

Information should be gathered legally and ethically. Anonymous sources should only be used when necessary, with careful verification.

I HAVE PERMANENTLY TURNED CNN OFF as they have failed and put profit above serving their profession. They are not the CNN that Ted Turner envisioned

Fox News, on the other hand, should be Fox Distorted Entertainment for the gullible masses. It has never been Journalism .

THANK YOU, SUBSTACK AND LIKE MINDED MEMBERS.

I may be wrong, but I think Jim Acosta is doing just fine on these various platforms. He is able to work and speak freely and unemcombered by the constraints of the corporate media.

"We the people can’t "

That is the problem.

It is why we need CONgress to pass an amendment that gives citizens the right to create and vote in amendments. Make it difficult, but not impossible, to pass. Basically, it gives us the ability to control CONgress.

"

We, the Citizens of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, shall have the right to amend the constitution directly, by having a simple majority of voters of three fourths of the states OR two thirds of voters in two thirds of the states, within a 10 year period of the first state passing the amendment.

Many are cowards, succumbing to the ongoing death threats,and the threats of being deported?

We, as people of America, will continue to fight against them, but it will be a hard fight against them, especially due to the fact that trump and his demons have stacked the courts with their corrupt, lying, Anti CHRIST judges, attorneys, and I don’t think I need to mention the Supreme Court injustices life time term appointments.

Well, looks like it’s up to us to destroy this regime, so, I’m putting on my seat belt, and getting ready for the rough ride for us to fight back against them, and before the start of World War111

Awww, Peaches there are court cases with guilty verdicts, restricted rights to run charities, court indictments w/fines for redlining apartment buildings, invitations to J6 saying it will be wild, instructions to fight @ our capital, pardons of people convicted of assaulting police officers, breaking and entering and vandalizing our Capital, claiming to be above the law, knowingly retaining classified documents after demands for their return, violating his oath to the Constitution, recorded admission of a repeated practice of sexual violence, non adherence to business contracts and international treaties and alliances. Any one of these is unforgivable but these life practices portray an amoral malignant narcissist unworthy of leadership or even good judgement in important decisions effecting and directing the future of this country—the errors of his supporters will be sadly and I fear, disastrously be born out in the life of our country and all of its people.

While I’m not an attorney, Rep. Raskin in his letter to Trump provides all the supporting citations that should convince Trump and his attorneys that members of his administration face escalating and serious legal risks for ignoring court orders.

The trouble is, his supplicants in the new administration fail to consider what happened to his toadies in the first administration. Anyone remember Sean Spicer? Ms Leavitt will learn loyalty is a one way street with her boss.

Trump and his cabinet are grifting the funds of the American voters. It has to stop. As I am a military veteran I can not support this administration's treatment my fellow veterans. Impeach both Trump and Vance.

I trust to Raskins brilliant legal mind. But I also fear that Trump is the master of delay. By the time any of this really reaches the courts it might be too late.

He's talking about court orders that his administration is already defying. It is very difficult for the Executive Branch to delay unlike a private citizens. There are literally dozens and dozens of major cases against the White House working their way through the courts.---Jason

I only PRAY that the Courts begin to use these powers. Seems to me that unless and until THEY start paying the price (and see for themselves that tRump doesn’t jump to their defense but just allows it as “collateral damage” because his loyalty is a one-way transaction) we will only see this disaster of this regime gain more and more power. Thank you, Mr. Raskin!

If I’m not mistaken, only his Cabinet can bring the 14th Amendment to remove him from office by citing incompetence. That’s never gonna happen. Nor is Impeachment and Removal. The only hope is an Election and voting the lot of them OUT. We still have the POWER of the vote.

Actually, in 2023, voters brought forward a case against challenging Trump’s eligibility for office - under the 14th Amendment. This attorney provides numerous videos on his TikTok @RickyWat2Do - detailing exactly how we can all individually file. He plans to file his 3/20/25. He will upload his filing for others to copy. He details this in this video (lmk, if you need me to upload a screen recording!) https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2qmrK5p/

As this attorney points out - if we all, collectively, inundated all 94 district courts with thousands of filings - that could result in a meaningful outcome

Thank you so much for taking the time and for sharing as well! You caused me to pause (even after I’ve watched so many of his videos 🤣). There is indeed *so* much misinformation that it was helpful for me to double-check myself too!

Gosh, if only our elected officials could openly discuss like this!

Mr Raskin, in spite of his personal health and family loss, is showing his true metal as a person of strength and true commitment to public service to the US, the Constitution, and as an Avatar regarding the corruption in the .administration. God Bless Him. we join him by supporting his efforts in any way we can. We are facing the worst corruption and erosion of America in my lifetime(89yrs) ,not withstanding all the wars ( legitimate and not) America has been in. This one is erosion from within ,the worst kind, the most lethal .We need heroes like Mr.Raskin who will carry the message of resistance to the traitorous sleaze of .Trump-Musk and the Oligarchs who want us to transform into a member of the BRISK autocratic union, to the detriment of peace loving people in the world and the destruction of our American way of life. Mr.Raskin, the hebrew phrase Ya'ascher Kochachah ( be strong) is our prayer for you. We stand with you .
