NYT reader comment on Trump & Vance Putin-inspired bullying of Zelensky: “Never has a political party shown cowardice as the Republicans have….Democrats need to get over their post-election shock, take off their gloves, and call 75 million voters to the streets. The difference in the popular vote was 1.5%. It’s time to start hosing down the dark grime that’s covered our country in a short but agonizing four weeks.” #RESIST #Ukraine nytimes.com/shared/comment/45m

Honestly, I don't know how Zelenksy didn't punch the cheetoh that whole time. That man has remarkable restraint.

I have never been so embarrassed for our country. What a thug. "World War III," he says over and over, echoing Putin's sabre rattling throughout his invasion. Even sitting in the White House, Trump is echoing the Kremlin line.

What's even more despicable is that the spineless, gutless GOP will say nothing about this indefensible show of gutlessness and cowardice by their leader. Imagine that: Being afraid of cowards makes you one.

My birth state emailed me and confirmed that my new birth certificate will entirely replace my previous birth certificate. It will not say altered, amended, or corrected. If queried, the state will affirm that it represents the record at birth, and anything else is wrong.

I don't think the administration will care, but it's very validating. States are fighting back, And that's something.

My arguments in this essay are as follows:

First, the crisis of American democracy is now squarely upon us.
Multiple illegal and unconstitutional acts are happening, and the guardrails that check and restrain authoritarian abuse are rapidly falling away.

Second, it is going to get a lot worse.
Trump is following an authoritarian playbook for destroying constitutional government that has been widely deployed over the last two decades and that in some respects dates back not only to the political calamities of the 1920s and ‘30s
but all the way to Machiavelli, as Jeff Bleich has recently explained.
The pathway to authoritarianism in America lies in subverting our constitutional checks and balances.
Trump has moved rapidly on that front and there will be much more to come.

Third, democratic backsliding is moving quickly now in part because of the lack of resistance. Part of this void owes to confusion and division within the opposition (the Democrats),
part to opportunism and submission among congressional Republicans,
and part to the tactical decisions of key actors in business, the media,
and the bureaucracy to comply in advance,
again partly out of opportunism but also heavily out of fear.

Fear is the common denominator in all of this—palpable, paralyzing, and quite justifiable fear.

Fear now stalks the land.
This is the most visceral indication that America has entered an existential era for the future of democracy.

The threats to American democracy in the United States are now immediate, serious, and mounting by the day.

However, it is possible to contain them.

Doing so will require a national, multifront bipartisan strategy.
But time is of the essence.

Such a strategy must be assembled and activated expeditiously, because the longer and further Trump and his acolytes proceed with their authoritarian ambitions, the harder it will be to resist,
and the greater will be the risk not just to our democratic process but to our basic liberties.

The key is to unite in defense of our democratic checks and balances, rather than to argue that every one of Trump’s policy initiatives is illegitimate.

The markets will take care of stupid and self-harming tariff policies.

They will not on their own save American democracy.

I heard from two different people last night that they had been told by their right-leaning friends that they were very 'excited' (in a positive way) over what was happening in Washington. It was notable that the phraseology used in these comments was identical.

"It's becoming increasingly clear that the Trump regime is turning away from our allies in order to embrace our enemies. They are dismantling our institutions and rule of law for the sole purpose of protecting and enriching a small cabal of extremely rich, extremely corrupt and extremely anti-american traitors."

Facebook, who have lost sixty billion dollars on their metaverse investments and spent more than eighty billion dollars on stock buybacks in the last three years, are firing 3600 people for - it is claimed - "underperformance".

There is no good reason to take this company at their word.
