NEVER FORGET: Trump's corruption was empowered by a Republican Party of mostly old, greedy, white people, who've divided us & cheated to win since Nixon at least. Voter suppression, race-baiting, fear tactics, ballot tampering & smear campaigns began ages ago.

why bring up AIPAC in response to everything a politician does, no matter how off-topic. It’s a bad look. Do foreign lobbies suck? Yes but they’re legal. Does Netanyahu suck? Yes, he’s a criminal. Is the OG post about either of those things? NO.

Nothing wrong with opportunism per sey. Isn’t this more like cowardice? Cowardice is fear, self-absorption and moral rot rolled into one. The very opposite of public service leadership.

This man and his family never stop looking out for us.
Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Going into battle is what bagpipes were originally designed for. Intimidating enemies with loud, piercing, and continuous sound.
