It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Donald Trump is inciting violence against Democratic lawmakers in an attempt to distract the American people from the legislation compelling his administration to release the Epstein files he is named in.

This morning, the President of the United States publicly called for the execution of six Members of Congress.

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Today.

He is a clear & present danger to this country. Right now. Invoke the 25th Amendment, or impeach & convict him. Now.

Let us not forget that Trump called for his very own vice president Mike Pence to be hanged because he wouldn’t certify the vote the way Trump wanted. And his followers were quite prepared to do it. The Democrats he threatened today may be in real danger.

If Mike Johnson thinks this is perfectly okay, he needs to toss his Congressional Button & resign. If John Thune thinks calling for execution of Democrats for saying to abide by the Constitution is AOK, he needs to be censured. Time to impeach this lunatic. He's a danger to us all.
