“Despite ending dozens of imaginary wars and getting nominated by a war criminal, MAGA’s prince of peace came up short in his very public bid to acquire the Nobel Prize, which he only wanted because they gave it to the guy who’s made him feel small and inadequate for over a decade.”

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.
