How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Trump tweets and he does rallies.

And not a single sentence is the truth.

He happily lies and lies to his biggest supporters.

Then he goes back to his billionaires and laughs.

Trump's latest Ukraine "peace plan" feels less like an alliance and more like a hostile winner’s dictate.
Trump forgets that Europe is bigger than the US ever, in people and land. Europe won’t accept terms handed down,it will stand up for its own interests and defend its sovereignty. #EuropeStrong
