All of the #EastWing’s history matters not a bit to Donald #Trump. Nor do Americans’ opinions on how we want our national treasure protected. Congress’ opinion — of course, that doesn’t matter. Trump’s party is in power, and its leaders have learned when to keep their mouths shut.

McKoy’s case illustrates the difficulty a defendant can have exonerating themselves when there is no DNA to serve as incontrovertible evidence. #FayettevilleNC #DukeLaw #WrongfulConviction

The US abdicated its world leadership role, so there is nothing #Trump's UN speech will do except antagonize further. Dig deeper to discover the only point of it: His vain attempt to win the #NobelPeacePrize.
