Maybe instead of renaming the “Department of Defense” the “Department of War” Pete should have more accurately called it the “Department of Expensive Humiliation”

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

They want nothing more than a reason to start firing. Don’t fall for it. Peaceful demonstrations only. They can’t win if we don’t give them the violent reaction they so desperately seek. Defeat them by protesting peacefully and by voting. The Trump regime are thugs. Plain and simple.
