Remember Sadam being pulled out of the Dirt, that spider hole in dirty pajamas, long hair, bearded and haggard? The regular Iraq’s so relieved of decades of brutal oppression, fear and anxiety, and the Sunni minority humbled. Could you feel the healing begin in that moment?

I hope we get to see TFG in handcuffs, Orange jumpsuit, pale, ( no spray tan service in jail, no ridiculous tupe’, and no baggie suit and dumb 40 inch red tie. “Fictional successful businessman DJT”, is a mythical creation, he is not real, he’s been “created” like the Marlboro Man, he is only a marketing creation. And that probably makes him even more dangerous.

We need this reality to happen. How many bomb threats have occurred at HBCU’s this week? How many neo Nazi groups are gathering and menacing in broad day light around the country? How many QOP’s are attacking the idea of a black woman on the Supreme Court before it has even happened? How many QOP officials Aren’t saying anything about TFG’s comments calling for violence in the streets of our cities?

Until TFG is charged and found guilty by a jury of his peers, the threat to decency, the rule of law, and democracy is real.

I'm concerned that these militia groups are infiltrating everywhere across this country. I was disturbed to read that Vermont is 8th in the nation for possession of guns and I've read that there are at least 4 of these groups living in the state "off the grid", 200 of whom chartered a bus to invade the Capital on 1/6/21. When are we going to hear that armed intimidation of voters is against the law and put these people away! There HAS to be accountability!

if only we could truly learn from history. However if we don’t read it and we don’t teach it and we ban books, that will be difficult to do. Fortunately so far that is a desperate minority. We need to let our voices be heard, loud and strong, if we are to continue to live in a free and healthy society.

You are right, and right to be concerned about these militia groups, but from what we have learned in Michigan (attack on our Capitol, plan to kidnap our amazing Governor), the appropriate federal agencies were and are infiltrating the infiltraters. The January 6 attempted coup turned out to be a perfect round up of the baddest. The investigation into that, and into tRump's treasonous role in it, is critical for mapping out the lairs of all these Brown Shirts so when indictments are imminent, the king WILL go down, but the country won't.

We all should be concerned about this. These groups are taught/trained (Turner diaries) to operate independently like independent cells with decentralized leadership. Sound familiar?

If only the feds worked as hard to stop domestic terrorists as international ones, like the head of ISIS. It should be a top priority. Jail time is the best deterrent.

Although you have to admit, ted, the orange jumpsuit might go well with the Toupé and spray-on tan 😉
