Any number of powerful people could have saved the US from a second Trump term. Merrick Garland, Judge Marchan, Judge Cannon, Mitch McConnell, the Washington Post, The New York Times, The LA Times, the Republican Party, the 90 million fuckers who didn’t bother to vote, a more skilled marksman.

If the president cannot be sued while in office, then the president should not be able to file suit while in office. Fair is fair.

Now we know why they didn’t want to release the Epstein files. Because they’re all in them.

The arrest of Don Lemon is yet another piece of evidence that America is being held hostage by a criminal and a regime that could not care less about the 1st Amendment & the Constitution. In this 250th year of our republic, we need every American who cares about keeping it to stand up & speak out.

More and more, day after day, it seems as if Donald Trump is trying to see how far he can go before Dems call for his empeachment. He wants to be a victim which he believes will bring back MAGAns who have left the fold.

We still don't know the names of the Border Patrol agents who murdered Alex Pretti in a Minneapolis street 6 days ago. But we know the names of their co-conspirators: Trump, Vance, Noem, Bovino, Homan, etc.
After we defeat the fascists, we'll need Nuremberg-style trials.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.
The agents committed murder.
It wasn’t a “bad shoot”. It was a killing

There are days where it feels like Putin has won. He's won at destroying the United States from within, and greedy, corrupt politicians gleefully helped him get there.
Tell me I'm wrong, and he will fail.

TWO SHOOTERS. Not just a lone dumbass in a panic, poorly trained, altho a gun expert claims they were running with fingers on triggers, so they are indeed lacking any real law enforcement skills. Taught to gun people down like it’s their Call Of Duty, the video game they gushed on afterwards,

For Trump, Miller & Nombe to say that people shouldn't be bringing guns to a protest goes against the 2nd amendment & the right to bare arms. Especially when guns were taken to the attach on the capital etc is totally hypocritical. Its such bullshit, so it's ok only for Trump supporters.
