Just as he promised, he’s destroying NATO which has kept Europe & the US together for 80 years. This will open the doors for Russia to wage war or ultimatums on Europe for takeover & China to take Taiwan & eventually Japan along with other islands. To officially give presidents the dictator title.

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition.
We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.
