Trump just threatened to impose severe, unprecedented tariffs on Chinese imports. He won’t negotiate with Xi at the upcoming APEC summit, choosing to sink the global economy. The Dow is already down 300 points. This will devastate American small businesses and cause your expenses to skyrocket.

Yeah. They slept on Trump’s criminal convictions too. They didn’t do their jobs. I’m not happy.

Vivek Ramaswamy keeps finding out Republicans will never embrace him because of their bigotry. Here he is feeling the Christian love of a Turning Point USA event. www.instagram.com/reel/DPmRFNs...

Our Constitution has some serious design flaws to let one man destroy our country like this.

We need an amendment:
• Proportional, rather than district, representation.
• One branch cannot delegate its powers to another.
• Lower the bar for impeachment and conviction.
• No one should have immunity.

If Trump invoked the Insurrection Act in these circumstances, it would be an unmistakable declaration that he's canceling our democracy and intends to rule as a dictator.
Everyone needs to understand that this would give us a sad but crystal-clear choice between resistance and submission.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

It's true. Whenever I think about how bad things are now, I have to remember they were also terrible throughout our history. I have to wonder if we've made any progress at all.

Well, looks like we will have American soldiers opening fire on citizens in Chicago by this time next week.

And when that happens, all Hell is gonna break loose.

All for the lowest piece of scum the human race has ever vomited forth.

A lot of libertarians who have been screaming in my replies about "authoritarianism" and "tyranny" for the last four years are conspicuously quiet right now.

Curious.
