The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.

It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.

Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.

Eyes wide open, folks.
