Kapitan Kankles made an absolute fool of himself, and by extension America, in the rambling, unhinged, and factually deficient address he gave at Davos. The spineless GOP needs to grow a pair and remove him from office.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.
End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

Enough!! The malevolent actor occupying the White House needs to be removed. The time is long overdue for the GOP members of Congress to grow a spine and stop the madness.

Great that Maduro is gone but what’s next? This may not be the end of a regime that’s lasted through both Chavez/Maduro/their henchmen.
Also what do China/ Russia conclude from this for their regions?
What’s clear:
*The ends can’t justify the means.
*You cannot break the law to enforce the law.

Heard this morning that ICE has detained Native Americans in Arizona (Apache, Navajo, and Ute). While not surprised given the free rein operation by these thugs, ICE clearly needs to be held to account.

Sounds like DOJ is continuing to flout the law regarding the release of the Epstein Files.

With all the chest beating taking place in Congress over the extension of ACA Subsidies, I wonder how quickly it would be resolved if the members of Congress and their staffers were required to use the ACA Exchange as individuals?

I know I've been beating this drum for over seven years now, but Donald Trump is a very and truly sick man who should be in a mental or penal institution and certainly not the White House.

Tom Cotton is so far up Mango’s butt he can’t see out. After “viewing” the video of the double strike on the “drug running” boat and “hearing” the Admiral’s testimony, he saw nothing wrong.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.

'An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’”'

‘An Example MUST BE SET’
The pursuit of Mark Kelly in the military-justice system sends a clear message to service members and veterans.

When Trump was asked about the release of the Epstein files, he called one reporter "piggy" and said another was "being insubordinate."
When Trump saw a video calling on the military to follow the constitution, he called for the death of the Democrats who made the video.
He's a tyrant.
