... Pritzker said Trump’s “attacks on me are just evidence of a guy who’s still living in fifth grade. He’s the kind of bully that throws invectives at people, because he knows that what he’s saying is actually commentary on himself.”
... “Let’s not lie to the public, you and I both know you have no authority to take over Chicago. By the way, where are the Epstein files?” ...
... During an interview on Newsmax, the Texas Republican attacked Pritzker for objecting to Donald Trump’s threats to deploy the National Guard in Chicago.
“What a disgusting, racist bigot JB Pritzker is,” Cruz said, implying that the governor’s attacks on Trump were somehow a slight against Latinos.
Leaving aside the amateurish redundancy - ?
But Cruz’s feigned political correctness didn’t extend to other marginalized groups, such as overweight people, because he made a not-very-statesmanlike fat joke at Pritzker’s expense.
“And listen, I don’t want to get between JB Pritzker and the Domino’s pizza line, but I’ll tell you what I am willing to get between: It is him and his open doors for every human trafficker, every drug trafficker, every MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang member,” Cruz said.
Leaving aside the juvenile insult - again, ?
Of course, people on social media felt obliged to comment on the political catfight.
... there are two kinds of people in DC. People who hate Ted Cruz and people who have never met him.
Ted Cruz comparing JB Pritzker to a Domino’s pizza line is perfect, because Ted’s whole career is basically hot air, extra cheesy, and guaranteed to give America indigestion.
I would hate to get between Ted Cruz's head and Donald Trumps A$$

I think Kamala is a fading star. Sure it's not uncommon for a candidate to take two or more runs at the Presidency before winning, but she's not "the one" (IMNVHO)

She's not the candidate we need right now.

Civilian-based defense or social defence describes non-military action by a society or social group, particularly in a context of a sustained campaign against outside attack or dictatorial rule – or preparations for such a campaign in the event of external attack or usurpation. There are various near-synonyms, including "non-violent defence", "civilian defence" and "defence by civil resistance". Whatever term is used, this approach involves preparations for and use of a range of actions – which can be variously called nonviolent resistance and civil resistance – for national defence against invasion, coup d'état and other threats.
Writings about this concept include works by Brigadier General Edward B. Atkeson, Erica Chenoweth (U.S.) and Maria Stephan (U.S.), Theodor Ebert (Germany), Brian Martin (Australia), Adam Roberts (UK), Gene Sharp (U.S.), Heinz Vetschera (Austria), and others.
The failed Kapp Putsch in the Weimar Republic was foiled in part by civilian-based defense. Civilian-based defense was unsuccessfully used against the Soviet Union's invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
I remember Czechoslovakia , but it's not like violent resistance would have been any more successful, and it would have gotten many more Czechs killed.
I'm familiar with and am a fan of the writings of Gene Sharp.
GoJBGo!
