The GOP could "possibly" 25th Amendment Trump due to mental deterioration but they would never Treason ... then they couldn't stay in power; his High Crimes and Misdemeanors is a given, daily, blatantly.

Let's remove the whole lot of them.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Same; oil painter as well. Those 10 yrs in the AF I didn't pick up a pencil or paintbrush ... but as a medic I learned anatomy; every experience goes toward the whole. Everything.

Old, still drawing/painting. Not done yet ....

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

I did because I wanted to do SOMETHING; I enlisted right out of HS. Schoolmates from our community were pulled off farms to fight a war on the other side of the world for a country most had hardly heard of. These were legacy/heritage, generational farms.

Today I took questions from more than a dozen South Asian news outlets and spoke about our agenda to make this city affordable for each and every New Yorker.

Zohran sits at a long conference table, back to the camera, with more than a dozen journalists, some with cameras, facing him.

That, too ... but notice Trump's L hand folded over his R. Every photo I've seen of him these last two weeks has him standing like that. There was a time he stood with both hands at his side.

Whatever he's getting via IV he still is. Regularly.

I don't think I've ever read such an accurate quote to describe Trump.

I've not read about Sun Tzu but I will now.

Huh ... evil across time, across culture.
