Why does the US--particularly those in government--continue to allow the Convicted Felon to speak/act/hold office? Like it or not, the world holds the US responsible with little distinction between supporters and the opposition. Like it or not, silencing him starts at home--not the world's job.

“What happens when the Venezuelan people reject Trump’s invasion?” Umm, Machado asks for the return of the Nobel prize?

which many refer to as "a new form of genocide."...to be followed by resort and golf club construction on the coast on land appropriated by Israel and Trump with Kushner supervision. Israel will expand territory in Gaza, pushing the yellow line east and it will increase West Bank occupation.

Places in the Kennedy Center Trump has obviously never seen:

“Art is the great democrat,...calling forth creative genius from every sector of society, disregarding race or religion or wealth or color.” (JFK)

"Asses" in witness chairs isn't accountability. A great many "asses" have been in Congressional witness chairs in recent months. They have lied to, interrupted, out-shouted Congress. Nothing happens. Suggest the 258 Dems in Congress acknowledge their accountability and actually do something.

A great many "asses" have been in Congressional witness chairs in recent months. They have lied to, interrupted, out-shouted Congress. Nothing happens. There are 258 Dems in Congress. None are activists. No one grasps creative opposition. They are essentially useless in today's crises.

"Democratic leadership" is an oxymoron these days.

Note to Nielsen: The US is not your friend. The US has no friends. US relationships are transactional, short-term, and erratic, determined by a delusional narcissist and his sycophants who seek only power and self-enrichment. Plan accordingly.

For the most part and at this point, Congressional paychecks are white collar welfare.

So, the brainless playground bully jerking around his toy soldiers thinks he's won a victory against a man whose professional and personal life represents the best of us. Scum.

Nobody wants this. Next step, renaming the nation's capital to Trumptown. Besides political and cultural pillage, what this paean to fascism will do to traffic visibility and flow alone is horrendous. Doubt it's permitted and approved by anybody anywhere.
