“BREAKING: A constitutional amendment has been filed allowing President Trump to seek a 3rd term in office.

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."

It was filed by Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN).

Don’t let this slip by unnoticed. This is not just “one extra term”, it’s a warning shot. It’s a red flag. It’s an omen.

They are slowly turning up the heat in the pan. Do not be the frog who sits denying it’s getting hotter.

One extra term will become two, two will become three, and three will eventually give way to lifelong reign of each president.

Fight. Fight for God’s sake.

Contact your local representative of congress. Convince them we do not want this.

We are going to end up in a dictatorship.

He and his first wife divorced after… well she said it better than I ever could.

“I excused a lot of his failings and whims because I loved him. But one day he did something to me that I couldn’t forgive. I was singing that evening at the cabaret. I left him home and he told me: “I invited a few friends; we’ll dine while we wait for you.” And it just so happened I had received a new dress from Paris. That evening, after work, I arrived home and what do I see? All these gentlemen dressed as women. And Conrad had put on my Paris dress. At this point, I divorced!”

And as  Anita Loos put it

Veidt fervently opposed the Nazi regime and later donated a major portion of his personal fortune to Britain to assist in the war effort. Soon after the Nazi Party took power in Germany, by March 1933, Joseph Goebbels was purging the film industry of anti-Nazi sympathizers and Jews, and so in April 1933, a week after Veidt’s marriage to Ilona Prager, a Jewish woman, the couple emigrated to Britain before any action could be taken against either of them.

Goebbels had imposed a “racial questionnaire” in which everyone employed in the German film industry had to declare their “race” to continue to work. When Veidt was filling in the questionnaire, he answered the question about what his Rasse (race) was by writing that he was a Jude (Jew). Veidt was not Jewish, but his wife was Jewish, and Veidt would not renounce the woman he loved. Additionally, Veidt, who was opposed to antisemitism, wanted to show solidarity with the German Jewish community, who were in the process of being stripped of their rights as German citizens in the spring of 1933. As one of Germany’s most prominent actors, Veidt had been informed that if he were prepared to divorce his wife and declare his support for the new regime, he could continue to act in Germany. Several other leading actors who had been opposed to the Nazis before 1933 switched allegiances. In answering the questionnaire by stating he was a Jew, Veidt rendered himself unemployable in Germany, but stated this sacrifice was worth it as there was nothing in the world that would compel him to break with his wife.Upon hearing about what Veidt had done, Goebbels remarked that he would never act in Germany again.

As noted above, he was also bisexual, a friend once stating: “He was very much in love with a beautiful girl whom I trained. I’ll say frankly that Conrad also loved men, once in a while.“

hey i haven’t seen this gofundme circulating here yet, but this is organized by the son of Hyun Jung Grant, one of the eight atlanta shooting victims.  his mother was a single mom and they don’t have any other family in the united states, so he will be raising his younger brother and organizing the funeral on his own.

Breonna Taylor was murdered by the police on March 13, 2020.

I have no practice writing calls to action, but no one else is coming forward and it’s almost too late, so here goes.

Indiana state senators have recently introduced a bill (sb389) that would repeal the Isolated Wetlands Program and strip protection for nearly a third of our scant remaining wetlands.

If this bill goes through (which it will in the next few days, without significant public pushback) it will be an enormous and irreparable blow to Indiana’s future, environmental stability, and natural resources. Wetland ecosystems are unparalleled in their biodiversity and home to countless rare and threatened species—and are also essential to floodwater mitigation, climate stability, and the filtration of contaminants from groundwater.

If you are an Indiana resident, please call your local representatives (find them here) and ask them to oppose SB389. If you are not an Indiana resident, please reblog and tell friends and family who might live in the state to speak up.

"Hi my name is [your name], I am a [job title/student status] residing in [state reps name's] district.

I am calling to state my opposition to bill SB389, as the deregulation of Indiana's wetlands could potentially have catastrophic environmental effects. Our wetlands are home to several rare and threatened species, and this bill could pose a serious threat to these creatures. As well as this, the wetlands are instrumental in absorbing floodwater and act as a filtration system for groundwater. Without the wetlands, our rivers and lakes could become polluted by groundwater contaminants that otherwise would not have been a concern.

I ask respectfully that [state reps name] vote to oppose this bill, [and would appreciate hearing a response in regard to this matter. {Leave a phone number to call you back on}]

Thank you"
