Stop Yakking. Start Acting

From Truth Matters

Americans CAN stop this anytime without being arrested or punished in any way for their actions. STOP SPENDING on all but essential items and shift as much of that essential spending to local businesses. No need to stop eating out, just eat in locally run family eateries (NOT corporate chains). It’s about strategic spending decisions. It’s all about common sense, but if you need more detail, click here for my broader thinking. Given the SCOTUS ruling on tariffs, you now have even more power.

There is no case to be made for saying ‘there’s nothing we can do’ It really is very simple, and I would urge you to encourage everyone you know to become part of a sustained act of strategic economic disengagement, because I guarantee just by this most simple of actions, you can unlock the gate on the road back to real American values. A sustained 3-4% drop in consumer spending will occur if Americans have the collective and sustained patriotic determination to say ‘enough is enough’.

From The Peaceful Solution

The Peaceful Solution-Part 1

How much do you want to stop His Royal Heinous and the fascist takeover of the country?

Enough that you’re willing to make a small sacrifice? Like altering your spending habits for a month or two or three? That could be all it would take to get the attention of the oligarchs (formerly known as The Robber Barons in the first Gilded Age, also The Fat Cats, The Greedy Bastards).

A brief demonstration of We, the People’s, power of the purse could persuade them to quit supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.

We quit spending, except on essentials, businesses lose money, stock market goes down, Greedy Bastards pay attention to our demands.

Greedy Bastards own most of the politicians of both major parties. GBs start losing money, tell politicians to change course and do what We, the People want.

We are running out of peaceful options. The legislature and Supreme Court are controlled by HRH. He controls the executive branch, including the Military, Justice Department, FBI, ICE, the IRS. He controls all levers of power.

We, the people, still have the power of the purse. No one can control our spending, or lack of spending. When all else fails we can go on a spending strike until the business community stops supporting HRH and the politicians who enable him.

Economic warfare is the only thing the oligarchs, the business community will understand and act on. Call it a Surreptitious General Strike (Quiet Quitting). Go to work, do as little as possible. Stop spending money except on essentials. Quit feeding the corporate beast that supports the HRH.

Stop participating. Nearly 70% of the U.S. economy is driven by consumer spending. All of us. Hobble the economy and the stock market. Mahatma Gandhi drove the British from India by peaceful civil disobedience and economic disruption. We can stop the fascist takeover in  the same way.

We can keep rehashing past and present atrocities until our access to the internet is taken away by the regime, or we can DO something!

Now is the time for this Peaceful Solution.

Such a rule would compromise the integrity of the State bar, its exam, and accountability. It is simply a way for the currently politically controlled DOJ to prevent the State Bars from taking actions against DOJ lawyers who violate their oaths as attorneys.

So all my life the GOP have screamed "state's rights" and "fiscal responsibility". Well, I watched the "fiscal responsibility" of both Bush years and Trump.1. But I'm from the South and, boy, this is incredible to me. Since 1865, the South and these GOP conservatives want to bring back the Confederacy any way they can. And now they want a DICTATOR? A Federal govt that takes every right the states have away from them? This is just so crazy!

You think this has anything to do with complaints of serious misconduct against Bondi herself with the Florida Bar as reported by Newsweek?

Sounds like a license to cover things up to me …🤔

NO, absolutely not!

This is obviously another power grab but also, they aren’t even thinking about the potential numbers they would be dealing with if they have to review them first. So once again the “local gov’t” ideology of the GOP is thrown out the window because it doesn’t suit their agenda.

Another power grab from Trump's own attorneys, masquerading as DOJ. Leave the states alone. We are not a kingdom or a fascist regime, yet.

This sounds just as useful as the Supreme Court policing its own ethics, a person deep in the throes of a mental health crisis "contracting for safety" to get an agency out of their face, or the Citizens United decision. Anyone with a position to protect from a 6 year old to the government will do what it takes to protect themselves from consequences.

A possible response to this is… each State Bar Can change their rules to state that the DOJ is in non-compliance with the new rules governing said action. Therefore the state Bar association will begin immediate disbarment proceedings. This might prevent the tail from wagging the dog.

It’s past time for this administration and all its members to be accountable for their actions. All private employers have oversight/reviews and the DOJ is long overdue for the same treatment!

Fulton County Fanny was Department of Justice admit you're wrongs that's the least you can do if you have any morals or if you believe in any type of humanity

Nothing should interfere with state bars investigating attorneys that are licensed in their state. If DOJ wants to also investigate, fine. But DOJ should not be in control of anything related to a complaint; not the timing, not how attorneys are required to participate and respond, none of it. We've all seen how this DOJ operates. They delay, deflect, deny and disappoint every single time. NO, the DOJ should not be allowed to interfere with operations of state bars in any way, shape or form. And the state of Florida bar should investigate Pam Bondi. She's committed perjury, violated her oath to protect and defend the constitution, and completely failed (refused) to perform the actions required as related to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. She is a treasonous, despicable failure as AG. It's obvious why they want the ability to delay investigations. Why would anyone agree to a rule so absurd?

Ridiculous. The state also needs timely notice of a potential problem to counsel or get involved in a situation, or CLEAR it. Sooner rather than later. It’s unfair to both attorney and complainant to drag out the process for an extra-long time.
