Believe in the promise of America. Women are not the property of the state! Donald Trump remains a convicted felon, Putin's puppet, and an existential threat to freedom and the well-being of all creatures on Earth! Science is real. So is Jazz! CA

It is time to dust off the picture I took behind the Whitehouse in July 2018. I added the line from HBO's Chernobyl because it seemed instructive and predictive of things to come. Don't you hate being right sometimes? Makes a nice bumper sticker, btw.

He can lie in state in a salad bar in his new ballroom

The funniest thing he can do now is to die before the ballroom is finished.

No image has ever spoken so succinctly about the current situation in the US.

The white house, a gaping wound in the east wing. It looks like a ruin or a mound of garbage

FIRED DOJ LAWYER: “I responded up the chain of command - that’s a lie. I cannot sign my name to that.”

Erez Reuveni says he was fired by Trump’s DOJ for refusing to lie that KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA was a terrorist & gang member.

Trump: American farming is dead and Argentina is alive

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?

TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Rep Robert Garcia just dropped a bombshell 🔥

The House Oversight Committee is forming a joint investigative unit with the Senate to track and expose every single act of ICE misconduct.
Accountability is coming.
No more hiding behind badges. No more abuse without consequence.

This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

FAIL!

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
