• It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Don’t give in to lies, don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth and hope. • History shows that appeasement has never ended tyranny. • The fool thinks himself wise, but the wise man knows he is a fool.

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."

..and Roger Stone is a career political criminal-hack that is becoming less relevant with every passing year. He’s goat shit in MAGA world because grifters like him are all around the Orange head-grifter.

Not only, because of McConnell, Garland, and the Supreme Court, did Trump get away with all of his crimes against America, now the lifelong criminal wants taxpayers to reimburse him.

Knight suggested the first draft of Bolton's book was "replete" with classified information.

The Indictment is based on the information not contained in the published book (para 53).

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

When Trump dispatched the National Guard to Portland, he specifically authorized them to use "full force"

Plus ICE and CBP agents in Chicago have already begun using lethal force-shooting at civilians

And even if they don't have legal authority, it doesn't seem to matter

He'll just pardon them
