Democrats police their own while the MAGA GOP protects and pardons felons
This is how it’s supposed to be done.

RESISTANCE is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches of 2017, but research shows they are far more numerous and frequent — while also shifting to more powerful forms of resistance

There is video and testimony that Pelosi not only didn’t deny a request for National Guard but she and others were manning phones practically begging the admin to send them in. She got a run around but the MAGAts persist and wallow in lies.

Democrats should do 3 things to win midterms. 1- invest in getting out the vote in all immigrant population centers. 2- re district and use the population advantage to win seats. 3- invest/campaign in rural white counties and design economic development and affordability initiatives in those areas

All Democratic Governors Must immediately begin steps to re district boundaries- every one, especially NY, CA, Illinois,PA with large pop ctrs.

I wonder if they will be looking into alleged J walking, smoking weed in college, making out under the boardwalk in HS, no complete stop at a stop sign- the Trump corruption is looking for a crime vs Evidence that one was actually committed- danger to ALL.
It’s the latest defeat to President Trump’s campaign of retribution against his political enemies. The Trump administration is reportedly considering a third attempt to obtain an indictment against James.

There should be an investigation asap. Remember there was fraud in the 2920 election by the Trump supporters- defamation of election workers, fake electors, an attack on our sitting congress to prevent election certification. We must stop saying there was no fraud in the 2020 election!

Hey Trump, are you telling your average MAGA voter that healthcare, housing, child care, college tuition, heating houses and buying cars are affordable within their means? I dare you to post that those things are affordable to anyone making under $100k. Forget those making $50k. Go ahead post away!

So which subscription do I cancel? Netflix or HBO Max?
The streamer will acquire the studio, along with HBO and HBO Max.
Netflix is buying Warner Bros. for $83 billion
But what will they rename HBO Max this time?

Trump is not dealing with the drug crisis. Interdicting smugglers to interrogate them to reach the financiers and bosses while learning logistics and supply chains, works. Cartels laugh when you blow up a boat - cost of doing business. Their drug runners are always expendable. Watch NARCs lol.
Fake News! That’s what you are putting us through. Only a person with a Low IQ and a Loser would post that.

In addition to the boat killings being an extra judicial attack the policy of the administration ignores that the drug trade relies on demand as well as supply.
Reminder that the penalty for drug smuggling under US law is 10 years to life imprisonment and a fine. It is not now nor has it ever carried the death penalty. Even in cases where loss of life is involved.
Even if it WERE, that is the role of a jury to decide, not the military.

In the 1970s inflation was higher and more sustained than now. Immigration was stymied by GOP Congress. Trump bungled the pandemic and gave away checks with his name on them. Tariffs? The Afghanistan withdrawal- set up because of a Trump deadline. But it was all Biden’s fault???

Something about Insurrection, pedo friendly, corrupt and murderous behavior does make one wonder what the world of MAGA ever saw in Trump and his oligarchs. I mean really?? Hunter’s laptop and Hillary’s emails??? Laughable
