What would you give for a little peace of mind?
What would you give to leave the past behind?
If it required nothing more than accepting it was so...
Would you give that little willingness?
Could you let it all go?

A reminder: Defenses like, "I was just following orders" didn't work after WWII for former soldiers drafted by the Nazis.

And they sure as hell aren't going to work for people who voluntarily signed up in 2025.

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

And I'm not even sure if I care if they impeach him before the fire is out....

💯 agree with Trump -- ANY President allowing this on his watch deserves a death sentence for treason.

Remind me again which President let the FBI do this on J6?

I want him in handcuffs by sunrise, tarred and feathered by noon, and burning at the stake on the Capitol's west steps by sunset.

Trump put a hit on Epstein.

His prison cell was never dusted for prints or examined for DNA evidence after his death.

Is there anybody on the planet who thinks this was an oversight?

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

And just WHO do you think will be making up that 15%?

I'll give you a tip: It isn't coming from the people who own the corporations either.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 21h

Billionaire corporations are already seeing the money roll in from the giant tax giveaways Donald Trump and the Republicans stuffed into their Big, Beautiful Bill.

What about working Americans? They're losing their health care, and their costs just keep going up.

It's shameful.

You'd think that he'd remember why he was impeached a second time... whatever is wrong with his brain has clearly progressed beyond an ability to function.
