A letter to senators: preserve, protect, and defend the constitution

The White House is actively talking about "suspending habeas corpus" to detain people without due process, indefinitely. 

In short, this is yet another discussion wherein Mr trump is attempting to openly subvert the constitution.  The writ of habeas corpus is specifically cited in the constitution in Article I, section 9, clause 2.  

But this is nothing new. He has actively violated is oath of office - specifically to "preserve, protect, and defend the constitution" multiple times during his first few months in office, while you sit idly by.

At what point do you decide it's enough and actually DO SOMETHING about this?  You, too, have a duty to defend the constitution in the oath you took.  By choosing to quietly watch, one could assume that you are violating your oath of office as well.

You can't simply allow Mr. Trump to just do as he pleases to further a decidedly UNconstitutional agenda. 

T-rump commenting on TV?!

This is hilariously absurd. The local PBS affiliate aired "Escape from Alcatraz" and right after it ended, T-rump went on his tirades about tariffs on movies and reopening the prison. 

Let me re-iterate. He was watching PBS. The very thing he called out earlier in the week as bad, and wants to defund. 

And then created public policy based on that movie. 

Quick! Can someone air a story about a guy who's "very popular" who ascends to the highest office and then realizes that he would be even MORE beloved if he stepped down, and then proceeds to do so.  Maybe there could be a riding off into the sunset moment with a young model. 

And perhaps he'll emulate that too. "Great film. The best"

Oh how I long for simpler times.

Like when the tan suit was the biggest issue of the day. "Such an offensive thing the president did."

Unlike today where the president wants to fuck everyone over for his own benefit. 

Hey great jobs are coming.... #AmIRight ?

The commerce secretary sat down for a TV interview.  And it was filled with so much fluff, so much gaslighting, and just utter nonsense.  

Sure why not "make the permitting process easier" so that you can avoid any unnecessary complications like worker protections?  Why does anyone need a college education to get a "good job?"  (even if they video they show depicts automation) Generations can work at the factory!  And pay no attention to the fact that many companies can't get up and running anytime soon - even if they want to.

My gawd.  This is what we are.  And his smug smile just this so much worse.

 

Violation after violation

Mr Trump continues to effectively act as a dictator and do as he pleases. 

He posted to social media that "we're taking away Harvard's tax exempt status. It's what they deserve!" 

That is a direction violation of 26 US Code, 7217, specifically "prohibition on executive branch influence over tax payer audits and other investigations"

And worse than that, he was asked by a reporter over the weekend if he will uphold the constitution. And whether he supported due process (which is enshrined in the constitution). 

His answer to both was "I don't know." 

These statements are a violation of his oath of office. 

This is simply unacceptable and you need to hold him accountable or work to ensure his removal from office. 

Full stop. 

Tell me again how there was no Russian interference in 2016?!

This is on display currently at the Seattle museum of art. 

It's a blown up version of part of the Mueller report that quite clearly spells it out

Man are people stupid. And they were duped- by Russian operatives and the Orange menace acting on their behalf. 

H5N1, the North American strain of the avian flu

The Global Virus Network, which is a consortium of researchers in 40 countries warns of the dangers of this strain of the avian flu and what we can and should do to prevent it from becoming the next pandemic, now that it has mutated and can spread to humans. 

"A robust nationwide monitoring system is essential to quickly detect, and quarantine affected animals and implement preventive measures to curb further spread and human infections. Further, we believe it is crucial to maintain trust and stakeholder buy-in for monitoring programs, particularly from farm workers."

There are many questions, but the two biggest ones are whether farmers would be willing to cooperate, given that it certainly will impact their bottom line and whether the federal government will take this seriously and fund any sort of effort to prevent the spread. 

Good luck to us all.
