It's time to stop writing books and making movies that only describe the water democracy is drowning in. Time to admit that the DARK MONEY BILLIONAIRES are funding the modern CONFEDERACY with SCOTUS judges firing legal shots at Fort Sumter declaring their war against our democracy.

Exactly, Mr. Copeland! JESUS F**KING CHRIST!! When the last vestige of protection from out of control elements operating within the two opposing branches disappears into a haze of "defining what 'is' is", things have gone too far. We need to collectively act. And, in my opinion, this goes well beyond "voting", a necessary but not necessarily final step. Screw these assholes. It's time to start playing hardball!

Agreed! And they have a helluva head start ~ no time to waste in removing the dark $$$$ & rewards! They will not easily give up what they now feel entitled to. Strip them of their extra billions & remove those who take the bribes & work to destroy us!

Many of those right wing lawyers and judges were trained up (and indoctrinated) courtesy of the coercive, Koch industries funded foundations and endowments. This Koch/GOP contrived conspiracy to overthrow the US government is decades in the making. (Give a pig enough slop and he'll spread it all over the place.)

When the pitchforks finally do come out, train your attention on the GOP donor billionaires and millionaires, that made our fascist GOP descendsy all possible. All these MAGA Christofascists have one thing in common, none of them pay any deference to the Beatitudes in the Bible, or to the scripture that they CLAIM to hold so dear. In reality money is their God, and they have no claim to superiority over any other group of religious zealots and extremists, of any other ethnicity or persuasion. They are just as bad, and just as arrogant as their counterparts in Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine and Lebanon. They are so far down their delusional, respective rabbit holes that they have become incapable of thoughtful introspective.

Chief Justice Roberts, with help from Moscow Mitch, got on the ground floor of the GOP's fascist enterprise, by shepherding before the Court, the Citizens United 'unlimited bribery' decision. When the pitchforks finally do come out, among the formerly law abiding citizenry, indelibly remember who these architects of US fascism were, take a lesson from Holocaust survivors, never, ever, forget.
