In a hearing with dog murderer Kristi Noem regarding her inhumane immoral abuse of power, she was asked about the US veterans she has deported and after lying about not deporting veterans, a House member had a veteran she deported on standby on zoom, bam.
She belongs in jail.

Today in “Watergate was a harmless high school prank relative to the things Trump does on a daily basis”
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Keep him out doing speeches and rallies, let him talk! Then in real time, we can document how he is declining, his worsening dementia and mental impairment, it will become apparent that impeachment or the 25th Amendment options are essential. Keep talking, orange boy, keep talking.
Trump’s latest rally wasn’t just low-energy it also exposed the “mental weakness” his team keeps pretending isn’t there. He’s nearly 80 and slipping fast, he’s giving voters a front-row seat to the decline
