The Trump Administration uses the same playbook over and over again:
Lie, then intimidate anyone who doesn’t bow down.
I commend Chairman Powell for standing firm against it.

Yes, it is beyond insanity. Luckily, the American people aren’t buying it.

Colbert FTW! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

Dear Non-Cult Americans,
Are you tired of the daily drama, corruption, manic insanity, malignant narcissism, obnoxious and boorish behavior, and illegalities? We’ve been dealing with this for 10 years. The only hope we have is to vote as many of these bastards out as possible.

Perfect 👌
Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Sad, powerful, but also so true.
All you evangelicals and so-called Christians that recite verse after verse but act with hatred in your heart, know it won’t get you to the promise land in the end.
