Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

but in this case the situation is reversed. in legal procedures against trump, the prosecutors wanted to get him and he could drag it out and dilute the process. now he wants things done quick and others can drag it out and dilute what he wants.

drag everything out for 4 years, claim he didn't get anything done, his chances to win again dwindle, the next president cancels all the ongoing things he put in motion.

chances to win again dwindle,

I thought the US had a limit on the amount of times you could be president.

Yeah, two 4-year terms.

Except they're trying to change that now.

Oh course they are. Let me guess, 2 consecutive two year terms.

It's the American Way baby! Min/Max beaurocracy to make doing things as hard as possible combined with senators and representatives that embody the American ideal of laziness.
