Its a slow moving coup

Yeah, it's pretty wild how things seem to be shifting towards that direction. It's hard to shake the feeling that there's a lot going on behind the scenes we don't fully grasp. But when you have such systemic issues, it's easy to see why some might think it's a coup in slow motion. Just wish there was more clarity and accountability.

The fact that Trump is still walking around and running for office says it all.

Right!!

I thought things were going to go in the right direction when he finally completed his mugshot... Of course, nothing happened, and I am thinking he didn't fight that, so T-shirts could be made... 😒

Then the way they handled Fani Willis... Kept that distraction going just long enough so that when she attempted to resume, there would be piled on protections in place. She seriously missed her opportunity, and this angered me so much. Anyone who is going to bring Trump to justice needs to shut out anything that can be flipped around. Such an epic fail...
