State Sen. Will Brownsberger will take part in “Protecting Democracy in the Era of Donald Trump including a Discussion of Citizens United” at the Watertown Library. See details below provided by the organizer.
The discussion will be led by Watertown resident Michael Schade.
The event will be on Tuesday, March 4 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. in the Watertown Savings Bank Room at the library, which is located at 123 Main St., Watertown.
The event is free and open to the public.
A pity Sen. Brownsberger didn’t hold this discussion in President Trump’s first term, when democracy was subverted by the intelligence agencies and Congress to cripple (the only word) the presidency. Almost insurrectionary. When not even Robert Mueller could defend the report that bore his name before Congress, the men (and women) behind the curtain were revealed for the frauds and charlatans that they are. (A Daily Caller piece from July 24, 2019 highlights several examples of his inability to recall basic facts.) Democracy sure could have used protecting then, but better late than never. President Trump was ready this time, and stole a march on the opposition. No wonder they’re so crotchety. I look forward to Sen. Brownsberger’s exposition on the separation of powers, and the preeminence of the President in matters of the Executive branch. As long as we’re being serious about protecting democracy, that is. The public sure seems to approve, and they’re the demo- of the word democracy.
“Almost insurrectionary” distinguishes your fantasies from the ACTUAL insurrection on January 6, 2021, Trump’s insane pardons of the actual insurrectionists notwithstanding (and many of them have reoffended within weeks of the pardons anyway!)
I’m sure you will be at the meeting to share your interesting theories with the Senator.
City of Watertown non-taxpayers are not excluded to listen to OUR Senator. Feel free to join.
I’ve only known Sen. Brownsberger for about a dozen years. We just spoke yesterday. But thanks for your invitation.
Somehow I suspected that.
You are welcome.
There was no insurrection or insurrectionists. If so, show me who was convicted for it.
Conversely, crickets will be welcome.
In response to your absurd statement, I’ll go the crickets route.
It is not absurd. Please learn what absurd means, then respond properly:
absurd /əb-sûrd′, -zûrd′/
adjective
Extremely unreasonable, incongruous, or inappropriate.
“an absurd request.”
Impossible to take seriously; silly: synonym: foolish.
“a character who goes through many absurd adventures.”
You are unable to prove your allegation. My retort was appropriate and true; your allegation was a lie. Language can be difficult.
A commenter asked if a tape of the event will be available.
