Yesterday, I noted to a friend who was asking the same thing that there has seemingly always been this unspoken "code" amongst ex-Presidents that once they are out of office they refrain from any and all interference in succeeding administrations. The glaring exception to this, of course, is the current interloper in the White House, who has never avoided any opportunity to open his big yap. However, it would seem to me that the situation right now demands "all hands on deck" in defending our democracy, so any such "codes", or "gentlemen's agreements", should be put by the wayside.
I agree. I understand the traditional 'code' but, as you say, what's happening today is not traditional and is definitely endangering our country. My only hope is that the formers are silently gathering and preparing their own "Project 2025" to destroy this regime.
James Carville, from Louisiana, says we should roll over and play dead and let the Regime dig itself a ditch. But how to recover and how long to shovel all that dirt back in?
To paraphrase Ellen Glasgow, “The only difference between a ditch and a grave are the dimensions.”
Carville is older than the dirt removed from a ditch. He was once a brilliant strategist, but his strategies worked in a world that is very different from the one we live in now.
If Donald's handlers are allowed to wreak havoc at the pace they are currently keeping, humanity will not survive long enough to repair the damage.
The "Python" is wrong on his one. Pythons just keep squeezing. The Nation is stressed out.
You can almost feel the widespread anxiety. Anxiety breeds misperceptions then mis-reporting then more confusion. All that leads to PANIC as the nation witnessed yesterday at the Dallas TX, National Cheerleaders gathering. A "loud noise " turned into a "loud pop" which morphed into "pop, pop, pop" which triggered a police & ambulance overreaction from a "fight"
Do not Play Dead.
Like Rachel Maddow taught me ... go to a valid LOCAL news source. The Dallas Morning News:
"What we know about incident at the NCA cheer competition at Kay Bailey Hutchinson"
Byran, you can actually feel the anxiety and read about it. On Nextdoor yesterday, some poor soul worried about Medicare and a mess physically was calling for people to join her in a protest at the state capitol downtown..Salem, Oregon. Often I see wingnuts there.
Yesterday, I filed a Freedom of Information Request (FOIA) on the Social Security Administration to dig into SSA 's purported "employee reductions" & "plans".

I agree. Carville's idea may be workable, but we can't wait any longer. We've waited 9 years too long all ready.

Thank you Michele.

I will Litigate if necessary.
Kudos, Brian. Please keep us posted.
James Carville can eat dirt. I can't even listen to him. And the hubris....
Carville is wealthy. A lot of people can’t afford to just roll over.
This is a all hands on deck moment. I am disappointed beyond belief that the former Presidents and VP Harris, and Sec. Clinton are MIA.
