Let's see how long it takes for the usual suspects to insanely blame Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for donald trump making up a situation with Venezuela so he can kill people. Because you know it's coming. He pulled this one out of his ass but you know that they'll say they would do the same thing.

Translation: Pete may well go down for this. But I’m not going with him.
Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Eventually, federal prosecutors are going to stop going after white-collar crime altogether, since Trump has decided that crimes are not crimes if you're wearing a necktie.

Turns out that the reminder from Congressional Democrats that members of the military shouldn’t follow illegal orders was timely. Read the details here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

“You must refuse illegal orders.” That’s what was said in the video made by six Democratic members of Congress.

DHS spent millions filming themselves terrorizing Chicago and bragging about arresting 4,000 “worst of the worst criminals.” In reality, only around 120 had any criminal history at all. When you have to lie that hard, it’s because you know the truth won’t defend you.

Like the Special Counsel’s case, this case was dismissed because Trump is the President, not the facts of the case.
Accountability shouldn’t depend on politics or timing. Americans deserve a justice system that does not bend to a President who tried to overturn a free and fair election.
