The greater the lawlessness of this administration is, the greater lengths they will go to remain in power to minimize the risk of being held accountable by a court of law.

The video of six is brilliant in the sense that it caused the Trump regime to overreact and help make its autocratic tendencies punctuate the media apathy and reach more normie voters.

The FBI has requested interviews with six Democrats regarding their video, which reminds troops to follow the Constitution.

The Trump administration saw the now-infamous video as treasonous, called for them to be hanged, and is weighing court-martialing Sen. Mark Kelly. trib.al/ELXKBpd

Absolutely. I especially loved how the school made the production as inclusive as possible, providing opportunities to participate for any kid who wanted -- for example, as part of the ensemble or stage crew.

This administration has done a lot of deeply embarrassing things since January.

But not being sure about whether the “28 points peace plan” was written by the USA or Russia might top them all.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
