Don Lemon: WAKE UP AMERICA! We are at the cusp of a dictatorship!

[Maru Kitteh]

Explains how this was all a "made for TV moment" STAGED by the White House and BLOTUS has declared WAR on the American People.


FINALLY, truth is spoken out loud on national television.

[bdamomma]

1. he wants death to the American people

and he doesn't care.

[Maru Kitteh]

2. Precisely. And now he's doing a photo op at the Episcopal Church.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. He needs to be IMPEACHED AGAIN for using the US military for a photo op

[bdamomma]

4. he is truly disgusting

smh

[Maru Kitteh]

10. He's tipped into full-on Putin wannabe. I guess we know what they

were talking about on the phone earlier today? Yesterday?

[fishwax]

40. introduce the articles immediately!

[crickets]

5. Don Lemon was visibly upset. This is just awful, and it's going to get ugly. nt

[kacekwl]

35. I hope Mr. Lemon remembers his anger

the next time he's "interviewing" a Republican enabler .

[SoonerPride]

6. Cusp? It's been a dictatorship for 3 years.

[ananda]

28. Agree.

For the most part, the media has been carrying the GOP's water
for the last twenty years.

The only reason they are "waking up" to the fascism -- which has
been pretty obvious to anyone with a critical mind -- is that they
have to.

There's no choice now.

[BComplex]

42. True. One correction. Not twenty. Forty years.

[Cha]

7. INDEED.. WAKE the FUCK UP!

[Generic Other]

8. He has destroyed our country

Sending the military against the people.

[Maru Kitteh]

41. It's simply not recognizable as a free country now. We are in red square.

We are Kurdish in Turkey.

[brettdale]

9. 100% agree

100% agree

[onecaliberal]

11. I am really terrified.

[Maru Kitteh]

15. As am I. Laying plans to get out and get my daughter/grandbaby out too

If this POS isn't ejected.

[kimbutgar]

20. I inherited a house that I was going to take a loan out and improve to rent for income

I have been holding out until the election if he’s installed by Putin again. I’m selling that house and my house and moving out of the country.

[Locrian]

12. very accurate

Once he starts using the military there is nothing to stop him from using it to stay in power.

This is a dress rehearsal for the election - he will not go, and will use the military to declare war on us.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. Well, he declared war on the American people today. Election "emergencies" in swing states,

in blue districts is just a snorting, labored breath away.

[AleksS]

39. The trick for him is to get the military to do just one

Illegal thing.

Then they become reliant on him staying in office in order to stay out of trouble themselves.

[BamaRefugee]

13. WE'RE ALL AWAKE! But not a single one of these pundits have a clue as to what we SHOULD DO!

I’ve read thousands of posts and articles and memes and tweets, but I’ve yet to read anything laying out a successful pathway for us.

[AlexSFCA]

14. this is what we thought was gonna happen soon after the election

but in reality he thought he was gonna get reelected. Once that prospect became bleak, civil unrest is a natural progression. Continue add oil to the fire, militant white supremacy groups are activated in full force, likely well funded, and will ensure this “race war” will only escalate until trump consolidates the power. Military will follow any orders from trump, there is no doubt about it. This is more powerful that SC, he can effectively eliminate constitution as we know it.

[ramapo]

16. That was some scary shit he spewed

I have never heard Trump so resolute, animated, and just plain into it. He’s found his leadership comfort zone and it is being supreme leader.

Probably the worst few minutes of president speak in history. Certainly on my 65 years

[sunonmars]

17. When does someone in the GOP finally realise that he's about to take the whole shebang down

and their whole comfy life is about to end.

[GopherGal]

22. We know there are no honorable, patriotic repukes in the Senate

They proved that in February.
...next: are there honorable, patriotic leaders in the military?

[Amaryllis]

24. Dont think they are capable of thinking that far ahead. THey aren't good at seeing cause and effect.

[kimbutgar]

18. When I heard him say that I felt a chill up my spine

The MFer is declaring himself dictator. He got his marching orders from Putin today it’s so obvious.

[OMGWTF]

33. X 1,000

[FakeNoose]

19. Does the Commonwealth of Virginia have any say about the activities at the White House?

Asking for a friend ...

Possibly the Attorneys General in Maryland and Virginia have some say about the DC police firing on the peaceful protest? Do they have the ability to bring charges against any White House security personnel such as Secret Service etc.? It seems at least some of this activity could be happening within Virginia or Maryland jurisdiction?

Anybody know?

[RainCaster]

25. We all do: GOTV!

Maybe the state of (whatever) can try some new legal idea against the Cheeto Tweeter. BFD- it won't stick. Not with all those conservative sleazeball judges he has installed up and down the court system.

If you really, truly want to get rid of that bastard once and for all, Get Out The Vote.

Vote yourself, and make certain that every one you know votes.

Accept no excuse. You must vote this November, it is esserntial.

[FakeNoose]

36. Well of course

That's something we all know here on DU.

But tonight we just became a banana republic. He declared martial law tonight. Do you think Chump is going to waste time having a stupid election on November 3rd? Hell no, he already knows he'll lose - so there won't be an election. There has to be some other way to get rid of him. Washington DC doesn't have a National Guard, but Virginia and Maryland do, so maybe that's the key.

This will probably be my last post because I'm going underground after midnight tonight.

26. Video of Don Lemon's comments at the link - thanks! nt

[SayItLoud]

27. Honestly, anyone surprised?

DICKtator wannabe is getting pretty close to dropping the "wanna".

[Hekate]

29. Don Lemon is GREAT. He saw that performance for what is was and called it out. Kudos to CNN...

...for having him on their staff.

[Maru Kitteh]

34. Yes he did. He jumped out immediately with passionate TRUTH.

[handmade34]

30. all must call for his resignation

[onetexan]

31. +1 -K&R

[DENVERPOPS]

32. Suddenly

there are all kinds of friends, business associates, and acquaintances telling me this last week that they finally agree to what I have been screaming from the roof tops these past forty years, since Reagan was "installed". I screamed even louder during the Cheney/Rumsfeld years, and I was still hoarse but yelling non stop, at the top of my lungs, every day for the past three years.

The RepubliCONs are finally one millimeter away from their lifetime wet dream. A Corporate Fascist Tyranny.......

For decades, the Dems have been wandering down the jungle path, swatting at mosquitoes, and oblivious to the herd of charging elephants.....

My Russian friend says all the people of Russia are laughing their asses off at how easily Putin played Trump and the RepubliCONs.
They think it is humorous how Putin has masterminded the destruction of America and Democracy without firing a single missile or rocket............

Enough Said, hang on to your butts, it's gonna get really ugly, we ain't seen nothing yet folks.......

I hope only the best for the people in the U.S. and the good people around the globe......

WASF

[c-rational]

37. MY gut/fear is tht you are correct, and that this Dumpster will use these events to declare martial

law. This is his dry run. We need a unified pushback...however WASF.

[UTUSN]
