And yet, here we are. Americans, stop treating this regime as a legitimate presidency.
I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Trump: "worst human".
No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

Trump: "worst human".

When you project out for many months the rapidly accelerating pace of Trump’s cognitive decline which is exacerbating exponentially the worst aspects of his malignant narcissism, and start from a baseline of where he’s at right now,
we are in for a rough ride on his crazy train.

Experienced federal prosecutors are angry about the DOJ cover-up of the murder of Renee Nicole Good & they’re resigning at record numbers.
My latest, including the outrageous pressure campaign to pursue a criminal investigation into Becca Good, the wife of Renee Good.

Still, after 10 years of patience, protests, and panic, wine moms are drunk on pain. Last week, one of their number, Renee Good, was shot three times at point-blank range by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who then said the loud part louder: “Fucking bitch.”
