"[A]fter all this time, with everything that’s happened, and everything that’s been revealed, I have to wonder if you are (and am astonished that you may) still be standing by Mr. Trump and his administration."

Trump's Ukraine "peace" plan is a profit scheme: let Russia keep stolen territory, rebuild for U.S. gain. That's not defending democracy-it's selling it off.

Something is really fishy here. Any other shooter is immediately dissected by the media for days. This guy isn't. Only crickets. I think he was used.
The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

In the very early hours of the morning of November 26th, there was a sudden spike in searches for the shooters name. In the DC area. (Prior to the shooting).
