Rita's Spur to Action

Does health matter?

Does education matter?

Does affordable housing matter?

Does care for the poor matter?

Nothing matters if you want to live in an autocracy under Trump’s dictatorship. The absolute opposite of a democracy.

The democratic party must pull itself together and fight for what is right to preserve America’s democracy.

The noise in New York City has become deafening. There is no reason in this world for people to be allowed to put their hand on the horn of their car and keep it there – beeping away at immovable traffic. There is no reason in this world for an ambulance to screech down a street when a simple bell sound would let everyone know that an ambulance is on its way to the hospital and that they, in the cars, should move to the sides to let the ambulance pass by. This is how it is done in Paris, France and other cities in the world. Recently, an ambulance screeched up 57th street, turned left on Lexington Avenue and came to a screeching halt in front of the pizza parlor. Between hands on the horns and sirens blaring, this noise has officially become deafening.

A new standard has been set in international relations by the Trump administration: it is now OK to “snatch” or kidnap and remove the head of state of another country. Given this new standard, I am asking anyone – please – kidnap the head of state in the USA (and all his cabinet). The people of the US will gladly reside under your stewardship.

To the Indigenous people of the United States:
Donald Trump has stated that Denmark has no right to Greenland because all they ever had was a boat (without documentation) that landed there hundreds of years ago. If that is so, then please take back this continent for yourselves, as all the Europeans did was arrive on some boats hundreds of years ago, with no clear documentation. Please, take back your land and we will all happily live under your stewardship.

If it’s okay to snatch Maduro, why Isn’t It okay for someone to snatch Up Trump? We don’t like him either

Anything but Trump.

It seems very hard to find reason that there should not be term limits – whether it be for the supreme court or all the way down to Congress. Furthermore, it is very difficult to justify paying retiring members of Congress for the rest of their lives. No other business in the world pays more than a retirement severance pay. Had this been in place, Ruth Bader Ginsberg would have been forced to retire, and Obama could have had the opportunity to appoint a new justice to the Supreme Court. And most importantly, Trump wouldn’t have the same ability to misuse the legal system to his advantage.

Trump destroyed trust within the Supreme Court by stacking it with his own lifetime appointees. Never has it been more clear than it is now, that term limits should be introduced for all government positions.

Nicole Renee Good was murdered by Trump’s ICE troops in the clear light of day.

ICE is Trump’s private, personal army.

The responsibility for the death of Nicole Renee Good falls directly at Trump’s feet.

Of course the border should be closed. Of course we should know who’s coming into this country. But that does not give Donald J. Trump the right, the privilege to pick up and arrest anybody off the streets at his whim or desire.

ICE- his personal army all attend to Trump’s absolute belief that he and he alone has the right to make life and death decisions for the people of America- who he is supposed to serve.

Donald J. Trump may spin the death of Nicole Renee Good, but it is clearer than day that ICE, Trump’s personal army, murdered this woman.

How could America ever have elected this man, Trump, to be President of the United States?

In not even a year since taking office, this man has destroyed our 50 year relationship with Nato, reduced the levels of health and education in the US and invaded another country, opening the door for China, Russia, or anyone else to invade us with impunity.

Here we have a man who led an army of people to commit treason against the United States and then forgave them from their prison terms.

Trump’s Supreme Court gave him the right to break all laws, thus supporting him to become the dictator that he sees himself to be.

The only way to save this country is to go to the polls at the midterms en masse. To save America.

Vote for a new congress and senate. People who are not afraid to resist kissing Trump’s ring. Who are not afraid of retaliation by Trump.

Everyone should be aware of A.I.. So far, it looks to be more destructive than creative.

Our society is allowing itself to become more dependent on A.I. than on independent thought.

This is dangerous and destructive.

When kids stop studying and turn everything over to A.I., people lose their ability to think.

If people do not think and do not analyze circumstances and situations they will unknowingly pave the way to becoming the victim of a dictatorship and the loss of a democracy that we hold so dear.

“I don’t need international law. I am constrained only by my own morality”.

America is so used to being a free country.

It is so used to having reasonably decent people running the country, that it is totally failing to see that Trump is a dictator like Stalin. Like Hitler. Like Mussolini. He is a DICTATOR.

ICE is his private army. He deploys them wherever he choses. Trump takes full responsibility for his governance and the deployment of ICE. Therefore, he, the president of the United States of America, is totally responsible for the murder of Nicole Renee Good on January 7th, 2026.

Every day that he is in office, he gains tighter control over every aspect of the government of this country.

People of America, for God’s sake, rise up.

Look at who he is. A man who committed treason against the United States. A man who has been charged and convicted of 34 felonies.

A man who believes that he and he alone has the right to make decisions over the lives of all Americans.

People, hit the streets. Never give up. Every day of the week, rebel! They can’t put all of us in jail.

We the people must regain control of our society. Or we will forever be the victims. And the America that we have known and loved will be destroyed

If you agree with this, please send it out to your friends, relatives, and anyone else who can send it out to others.

In every day, in every way Trump becomes more like Stalin and Hitler. Even if he’s right about Maduro.

It would seem that his right to simply kidnap the head of another nation for whatever reason begs the question: why should some other nation not capture Trump?

Since returning to office a year ago, peace-loving Trump has bombed Yemen, carelessly killing numerous civilians after loosening rules of engagement; bombed Nigeria, to counter-productive effect; bombed Somalia, Iraq and Syria; and bombed Iran, where he mendaciously exaggerated the success of US strikes on nuclear facilities. He even refuses to rule out bombing Greenland, a sovereign territory of Nato ally Denmark.

Trump is beyond the pale.

We cannot allow him to become a total dictator with no obligation to live within the laws that govern our democracy.

Again: vote for an independent congress and senate. People not afraid to oppose Trump at every turn and not willing to kiss Trump’s ring.

Here is an article from The Guardian by Sam Levine that tells it all:

“Five years after the deadly attack on the US Capitol, Donald Trump and other Republicans have engaged in a near-complete effort to rewrite the history of the day and erase it from the collective American memory.

On his first day in office, Trump pardoned anyone involved in the attack, a move that affected about 1,500 people. His administration has paid $5m to settle a wrongful death lawsuit with the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter killed by a Capitol police officer as she attempted to breach doors near the House floor. Hundreds of other rioters are also seeking millions of dollars in compensation.

“The pardons issued last January sent a clear message to the American people: political allegiance now matters more than criminal conduct. But over the past year, we’ve also seen a sustained effort to rewrite the facts of January 6, as if the historical record could be negotiated away or erased,” said Gregory Rosen, who led the justice department unit that prosecuted January 6 cases.

“But Americans remember that day for a simple reason – we watched it happen. And as long as we remember what it was – unadulterated mob violence – we can speak honestly about what it means for our democracy and our future.”

Ed Martin, an attorney who represented January 6 defendants, now occupies a powerful position in the justice department, where he has led the effort to exact retribution on Trump’s rivals. One of the people working with him is Jared Wise, who referred to police officers as “gestapo” and “Nazis” on January 6 and said “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Kill ’em!” when violence broke out, according to an FBI affidavit. Charges against Wise were dropped when Trump issued his pardon.

The justice department has demoted and fired career attorneys who worked on January 6 cases. Republicans have even refused to install a legally mandated plaque at the US Capitol building honoring those who defended the Capitol on January 6.

“The plaque matters because January 6 matters,” said Brendan Ballou, a former January 6 prosecutor who is representing two police officers who defended the Capitol in a lawsuit seeking to force the installation of the plaque. “If the president and his allies manage to erase the history of that day – or worse yet, convince people that the riot was legitimate political discourse – they will make any future attack on our democracy permissible. So we have to memorialize January 6 so that it never happens again.”

The effort to rewrite January 6 has gone hand-in-hand with Trump’s stunning political comeback. After January 6, Trump faced one of his most politically vulnerable moments. Having lost the election, the president was somewhat of a pariah in his party and Americans blamed him for the attack. After the US House of Representatives – including 10 Republicans – voted to impeach him, the Senate voted to acquit him. Seven Republicans voted in favor of a conviction.

Mitch McConnell, then the Senate majority leader, and other Republicans rallied around the idea that a former president could not be impeached. The acquittal gave Trump a critical breath of oxygen to begin a resurrection that would lead him back to the White House four years later. Many of the Republicans who voted in favor of impeachment are no longer in Congress.

There were other critical decisions on the way. Some believe US attorney general Merrick Garland may have moved too slowly in appointing a special counsel, Jack Smith, to investigate whether Trump committed a crime in trying to overturn the election. Smith’s sweeping criminal case against Trump and allies was dropped after Trump won the election. Trump was also given critical lifelines by the US supreme court, which ruled that his conduct on January 6 did not disqualify him from the presidency under the 14th amendment and that official acts of the presidency could not be criminally prosecuted.

Smith has not gone away, however. He told lawmakers last month that the insurrection attempt at the Capitol “does not happen” without Trump.”
