James Madison supported giving Congress the power to impeach the president, because a president "might lose his capacity after his appointment. He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers."

Me and Clyde might have robbed a few banks, a few gas stations, and whatnot, and we may have killed a few people, but we was young, so you can't hold that stuff agin us.

Richard Nixon was never sent to prison. John Mitchell was. Be afraid, Pam. Be very afraid.

Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

The United States is a hot mess governed by criminals. No one should come here for any reason while Trump is still living.

The Republican party has been toxic garbage since NIxon sold its soul to Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats, but Trump is the worst of all time. When Trump goes, the Republicans will have a hard time finding someone lower than him, but I have faith in their depravity.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Politics aren't everything. We should concentrate on the important things in life, like Donald Trump's golf game and Katie Miller's strudel.

Above all things, good Policie is to be used, that the Treasure and Moneyes, in a State, be not gathered into few Hands. For otherwise, a State may have a great Stock, and yet starve. And Money is like Muck, not good except it be spread.
