As in the olden times. Centurions, Germanic chieftains, Keltic leaders, stood in front of their troops, leading them. Up to almost modern times. Remember Horace Nelson, William Prescott, at the forefront. Today, they stay back.
Yes … and we had Martin Luther King and FDR and even John and Bobby Kennedy (despite an awful deranged son) — and LBJ who took risks and stood up for broader societal values against prejudice and inequality.
Show me any Republican who looked out for anybody other than the privileged elite.
And there are the shrinking violet politicians who wag their fingers and do squat.
I’m not disrespecting Chris Murphy or Walz or Pritzker or Newsome or Booker — at least they are out there. But there is still something missing, it’s all
too low key, lacking urgency. With the murders of Renee Good and then Alex Pretti the “leaders” should have been out there adamantly with the aggrieved demonstrators in the streets, at ICE/ Border Patrol HQ, DEMANDING JUSTICE. This “lower the heat” shit is shit! Governors and Senators should have gone to the White House and demanded to see Trump and directly confront him on these federally conducted executions and DEMANDED the resignation of Noem and Miller. If they were not received and satisfied they should have stood together in front of the White House and made their case together to the public.
Because this isn’t working.
This “golly gee” I’ve made strongly worded statements on MSNOW and such is …INSUFFICIENT!
Mayhaps… but waiting will get us nowhere. Perhaps we need the next Obama or Bill Clinton to rise up “too soon” because others wouldn’t step up. The question is who has the audacity to do this?
Am I the only one that said that trump and his administration along with the Republicans in Congress are to blame for what is happening to day? But I also placed much of the blame on the billionaires, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society whose members are made up of the people who don't want to live within the laws, the constitution, but to force their ideas upon the majority of our working population and the poor. Why?
The billionaires are just 1% of the US population, but with their massive donations to the Republican party. Republicans wanted to keep that coming so they slashed taxes for the uber wealthy, Some billionaires pay no taxes at all. Then we find out that the billionaires bribed the Supreme Court with money, trips, and other perks so the Court is now uselesss for the average person and will repeal decisions that have been in place for so many years.
Not like federal judges who have a code of ethics, the Supreme court doesn' have any and was against a strict code of ethics and acted insulted when it was brought up. This is the highest court in our nation they should have the strictest code of ethics but because the constitution says that they will hold their position for life. BUT they can be impeached and removed from the Court.
This is why I cannot only blame trump, the GOP, but if it wasn't for the Supreme Court MAGA would have been stopped long ago.
The Supremacy Court is a creature of the Heritage/Federalist CABAL. Their perverse rulings have set the stage for the tyranny we are facing m. I’m concerned that the Roberts court will make these worse as the midterms are coming up. Also with The Trumphukian ms setting the stage for the Insurrection Act which would be unconstitutional if they try to resort to it.
It's not about immigration, it's to intimidate.
Absolutely— typical Hitlerian NAZI ploy — attack the “other” and expand to include those who oppose using your uncontrolled unregulated thug force.
Those leaders who protested the George Floyd killing are still trying to make a difference.
Is anyone listening?
….is anybody out there?
The “system” protects its own.

INADEQUATE!
NOT-CUTTING-IT!
Get out and lead or get out of the way!
Mayhaps they are waiting for others to step forwards, then they will latch on to their coattails.

Who! Who, indeed!
