Uh oh, after a democrat is disappointed they might gasp consider a sternly worded letter.
How can fascism survive such robust resistance?!

What do you want Whitmer to do?
Call Trump an illegitimate fascist cretin in a press release, for a start.

Execution followed by full pardon.
America is so boned.
Finger wags, finger wags for all!!!!
If things get any worse, there may be some raised eyebrows
Oooooo! That will show them!
A clear message to Trump brand Nazis that they are free to kill his political opponents. Sure they'll have to suffer thru some jailtime, but he'll pardon them.
Hell, Hitler wrote about his struggle there.
That's the real fear. Political violence is going to be increasingly common as fascists get bolder.
I'm getting tf out of this country, man
I'm getting tf out of this country, man
I already pulled that trigger and have zero regrets. My life has greatly improved since I left.
I kinda feel like you should provide some tips for the rest of the class.
Happy to answer any questions. I did it through a work transfer, but getting a visa isn't even the hardest part
Alright, I'll bite. lol What's the hardest part?
The overwhelming amount of physical, emotional, and logistical work involved
Edit: I'll also note that there's a lot of people online who seemingly want to discourage anyone from even trying to get out (see the other response). Ignore them.
Not OP, but the answer to that is going to be "having a work transfer"
If you don't already work for a company that's willing to relocate you out of country, or don't already have citizenship rights in another country that you can cash in, you're not going anywhere. Not one single place in the world wants American refugees right now, and unless you're a rocket surgeon, you're going to be immigrating illegally if at all.
Best move for regular people right now is likely just getting a travel visa and then quietly overstaying it. Just don't get caught.
Yeah we're starting the process. Ugh it's so fuckin much to do tho. And I half expect the house to sit on the market...
'Disappointed' is certainly not the language I'd use in her position. I'd remind Trump that future presidents may follow his lead and pardon his attempted assassins. TACO in no time.
What the hell does it take for US centrist/centre-left politicians to be outraged?
What the hell does it take for US centrist/centre-left politicians to be outraged?
Saying that neither party should be selling weapons for genocide.
I dunno, Bernie has said that and I haven't heard any Democrats outraged at his comments. But I get what you're trying to say.
That's because they're trying their best to ignore and silence him to death.
Bernie isn't a democrat anymore. He's independent.
That doesn't change that Democrats might respond to his comments?
Democrats opposed Sanders harder than they have ever opposed trump.
...but it makes him much easier for them to ignore.
Suggest universal healthcare, universal housing, or universal education(including college/university).
Being a leftist and calling for leftist policy probably
She should call for the pardon of Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh.
Like pardon his head back together?
If I were her, I would start preparing the National Guard and networking with other like-minded governors. If Trump is willing to pardon people who wanted to claim her life, then he wanted her dead. That is grounds for war.
IMO, the dissolution of the union has become nearly inevitable. The questions lie in the when, how, and whether good people come out on top. The good guys should set up mutual aid in advance, be it weather reports, treaties with Europe, Rainbow Panther militia, lawyers, or taxation that cuts out the federal government.

Lord that's diplomatic
Can't wait until she sLaMs him on her way to the fucking gulags. Feckless corpodem bullshit.
Buy guns.
Anyone see the movie Devils Advocate with Keanu. It resonates with this administration. Watch it.
this movie is so good. not perfect, but very good. so many great scenes. that marble angel wall is forever stuck in my head.
I know. And how all the evil bastards of the world hang around each other. You can see it in their faces. While I don't see this in real life to me people who support Trump and Putin and those types all have a very certain look on their face.
Is he even attempting to make up a justification for it other than "help those who hurt the right people"?
I guess you mean he'll pardon them. It does seem to be pure vindictiveness, with no attempt to even dress it up. He just wants anyone he dislikes to fear for their life, and all his supporters and lackeys are on board with this.
The pardons are already paid. She can't do anything about it.
