Laurence Tribe, American legal scholar and former professor
at Harvard Law School, om The Felon’s attacks on higher education:
“What we have discovered is that he is a combination of
ineptitude, vindictiveness, lawlessness and bluster. The people who caved to
him, the universities and the law firms, who thought that if they paid his
ransom, they would be safe, have learned that they’re not safe. He comes back
for more. That’s the way it works. But because of all these demands, the
attempt to take over, essentially, a private educational institution to tell us
what we can teach, to tell our students what they can say, what they can think,
to tell law firms whom they can defend—those efforts are absolutely illegal.
It’s not even a close question. Judges across the spectrum are going to rule
against [The Felon]. We are going to prevail. And in doing, so we hope that we
will give courage to others, because the only way to deal with a bully is to
stand up to him, to stand up in solidarity and say, ‘No, you will not dictate
all of us, you will not control our lives, you will not control our thoughts.”
I think The Felon is jealous that he couldn’t get into Harvard
and so he wants to punish them.
I think The Felon is jealous that he’s an illiterate moron
and Harvard pushes ideas and thoughts and progress and equality.
Keep saying No, Harvard, and I guarantee other colleges and
universities will stand with you.

At least Murkowski said *something,* while all we get from the rest of the Grab Of Power is Felon ass-kissing. The lawyers, the universities, and the media bowing down make it a much tougher job for anyone trying to push back. But we have to.
ReplyDeleteI love me some Pete. I worked on his campaign and I'd do it again --- in a Michigan Minute.
I do wonder when ALL the politicians will get off their asses and do more than just talk.
ReplyDeletePete Buttigieg is everything Trump and his MAGA minions are NOT.
ReplyDeleteWell said, all, but actions speak louder than words.
ReplyDeleteI especially like Elizabeth’s Warren’s idea…register RFK’s ass. Murkowski is pathetic. Pete is extra hot with the beard.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see Mayor Pete spouting forth common(?) SENSE (more of a rarity these days) as he can't help doing, I have to put away the screen and just listen, otherwise I get too distracted.
ReplyDeleteJasmine, Warren, Pete! Those voices are sounding loud and clear. We need more Dems like them and AOC.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to learn people in Canada were considering a Cheeto-lite politician until Cheeto decided it was time to annex Canada as the 51st state? Fascism is contagious!
Pete will be president one day.
XOXO

I love Pete and am sure he would make a great president. But he can't run in 28. And neither can Booker or any woman. And please hear me out for why. The next presidential election most people will be voting against Trump. And hopefully the republicans. But the Dems cannot put anyone out there. That would give anyone a reason to not vote for them. Like being Gay, Black or a woman. We had so many people just not vote this last time. And it truly would be the end of the country. If another republican go voted in. Know it would be a long shot. But we can't take that chance again.
DeleteThe free people of the world want to see a free America again!

Had Charlie Angus been elected the leader of the New Democratic Party, I suspect the party would have been further up in the polls. The vote would likely be split between the NDP and the Liberals, which may have resulted in a Conservative win in next week's election...with the mini-Trump Pierre Poilievre as our President. I do hope Charlie has done us a favour while speaking out.
ReplyDeleteI got news for Lisa Murkowski. If she's afraid to use her voice in these times and fear of retaliation, she's in the wrong field. If she can't use her voice to represent her people what good is she?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes Pete Buttigieg with a clean cut five o'clock beard? I have all kinds of thoughts what he could do with that beard against me!
Even I think Pete Buttigieg is a sexy guy and I'm a hetero cis woman, LOL!
ReplyDeleteTrump wants to be the ultimate CEO, except he's nothing more than a bumbling idiot who managed to play a successful businessman on a reality TV show, nothing more.
ReplyDeleteI'd Vote for Pete.
ReplyDeleteI'd stand with Pete and vote for him if I lived in your country.
ReplyDeleteHolding my breath till our election on Monday. I sure do hope our trump wanna be loses big time. I fear that you in the States have lost yourselves a democracy and are not standing up and doing enough to get rid of a big cry baby bully. He belongs in prison or better yet on a plane headed to his paid for by him outsourced prison. Who cares about the law certainly not him. We all need a Charlie to speak the truth without fear. Elbows up Canada. United we will win and the bully will fail. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI think Murkowski HAS pushed back against Trump, more than nearly all other Republicans. I'm all for President Buttigieg!
