A leader pulls with thoughtful ideas.
A bully pushes with thoughtless ones.

One cannot betray POTUS.
One can only betray an autocrat.

Stay focused, friends.

Be aware of the words used (e.g. “betray” was chosen to divide us).

Insist on legality and truth from both government and media.

Be alert for shenanigans out of sight, as all of this may be an intentional diversion.

The rule of law has been, is, and shall remain greater than the rule of man.

Finally, today’s update from my Failed Pols project may be of interest:

The current SCOTUS has authored many bafflingly weak, illogical, and poorly reasoned options. Scalia was a great writer and one of the last principled justices. The WRONG principles, but principled nonetheless.

The nominee needs EXTREME vetting.

I did not vote for Bush or Gore in 2000 (long story), but I respected the outcome of the election and the Bush v. Gore ruling. Because law >> man. In other countries, these disputes would have been resolved with tanks and coups. Here in the USA, law is, at least for now, still first.

SCOTUS should not take this case because it is undeniably unconstitutional.

Release the residents!
