She warned us during the immunity arguments. And John Roberts took the predetermined opinion for himself.

Hard to disagree

And the sad thing is, many of the problems he promised to fix, like bringing down costs and fixing health insurance, have only gotten worse, while Trump squanders America's reputation as leader of the free world with illegal, racist, and belligerent policies that have all failed
The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

It’s been 5 years since over 140 Capitol police were violently assaulted by Trump’s mob.

Republicans dismissed it as political discourse.

The assailants were all pardoned by Trump. Many of them went on to commit more crimes.

It will remain one of the most shameful days in American history.

January 6 2021 was not just a riot. It was a test.
A test of how much violence a lie could carry.
A test of whether law would bend when shouted at.
A test of whether fear could replace truth.
Remember the failure to act.
And remember this: impunity is not forgiveness. It is an invitation for more.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Congress could easily impeach and convict if they wanted, and his reign of terror would be over just like that. Of course Repubs are way too cowardly to do this, which is why it is imperative we elect Democrats in huge numbers this Fall so they can finally get it done! America won’t survive 4 years!

This is a crucial line from Mamdani

Mike Johnson-for one-is very polite. Yet his policies will likely kill millions of Americans. Cutting Medicaid and failing to extend the ACA subsidies alone will cause over 51,000 to die. Per year

He should be forever hiding in shame. Instead-he’s House Speaker

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too.

Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

This attack on Venezuela is unauthorized. Illegal. Criminal.
Further alienating our allies & destroying our international standing.
Why is this allowed to continue?
Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority & ability to stop it NOW.

One more thing on CBS, what is the point of a news agency that doesn’t inform but rather placates to whatever is the popular ignorance of the day? What do you mean you don’t need experts? What ya doing? Asking Joe to stick his head out the window and guess on which way the hurricane is going? Sigh

Murcs Law 2.0

Not only do Republicans have no agency, neither do voters.

There is NO charge that would've prevented Trump from running, because any conviction would've been appealed through 2024.

And the only people who let him go free are the people who didn't vote against him.

Twice.
Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

Also the president is a crazy person and a raging racist. Like legit gone. Toast. The fact that y'all aren't rolling 24/7 is weird and normalizes his behavior. Most people aren't aware of this because it's your industries job to tell them, they don't.
