Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Junior says he doesn’t watch Fox anymore because “it is so ridiculous” how biased they are against his dad, he complains they barely ever invite him on now, and “they’re just about clickbait.” (I did not speed this up).

One broken window (which is not great) at the home of one govt politician and people have entirely lost their minds, as if nothing like this has ever happened before.
Do we not remember the violence and threats and abuse directed at left leaning politicians and public figures?

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:
1. Your countries all suck.
2. None of you know what you are doing.
3. The US is better at everything.
4. All because of me.
5. I’m right about everything.
6. You should listen to me & do what I say.
7. And give me lots of awards.

Just 3 hours after arriving, Vance & his wife depart Greenland. And they never even left the military base.
For a country as hospitable as Greenland, it is a remarkable feat to be so loathed you can’t leave the airport.
Another staggering waste of taxpayer dollars.
