Thank you. I have since found out he is Henry Cuellar. He's clearly not a Democrat and clearly needs to go. I'm so tired of these God damn Republican plants.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

Trump's opinion about anything is the last person he talked to. We have a f****** moron in the White House that will do anything that people with access to him tells him to do. Stephen Miller is telling Trump what to do...Kind of explains everything, doesn't it?

I think there's something right under our noses that could take Trump down. Recent revelations have Epstein files containing snuff films of children being murdered on camera. Also, it's been reported that there are files about children being killed and eaten. Remember Pizzagate? A confession?

Pay attention, people of California. You have two great men running already for Governor: Eric Swalwell and Tom Steyer, not to mention a great woman in Katie Porter. ALL three would make great governors. This asshole is a MAGA plant, just like Tulsi Gabbard.
Californians beware:

We are watching the United States turn into a police state in real time, people. Pay attention and be prepared to fight back with everything you have.
From @wired.com: “Federal records reveal ICE is secretly expanding into 150+ facilities across nearly every state — many near schools, medical offices, and places of worship… DHS asked the General Services Administration to hide lease listings and bypass normal procedures…”🤔

Indeed. Good point.
The strongest deterrent so far has been the judicial system.
At first most indictments were ignored, but Trump is weakening very quickly and there has been some important judicial victories.

Exactly. We've seen this movie before. It was called World War II. If the choice comes down to fight or die, you'll see the most mild-mannered, timid individuals become savage, ruthless killers. We ALL have that survival instinct within us...God help MAGA if it comes to that.

Yeah, we have our passports while MAGA scarcely knows what they are, but Republicans will supply a carve out for the rednecks...Anything that blatant won't fly. We'll revolt.
I keep reading how Republicans requiring voters to show passports will disenfranchise voters. But have Republicans stopped to realize that Democrats are more likely to have passports than Republicans?
