The video of six is brilliant in the sense that it caused the Trump regime to overreact and help make its autocratic tendencies punctuate the media apathy and reach more normie voters.

The FBI has requested interviews with six Democrats regarding their video, which reminds troops to follow the Constitution.

The Trump administration saw the now-infamous video as treasonous, called for them to be hanged, and is weighing court-martialing Sen. Mark Kelly. trib.al/ELXKBpd

Absolutely. I especially loved how the school made the production as inclusive as possible, providing opportunities to participate for any kid who wanted -- for example, as part of the ensemble or stage crew.

Yesterday, we ent to see Merry Poppins jr. at my daughter’s middle school. Delightful and sweet, few things make me as optimistic about our collective future than school plays.

This administration has done a lot of deeply embarrassing things since January.

But not being sure about whether the “28 points peace plan” was written by the USA or Russia might top them all.

I don’t think Cassidy is too dumb not to understand credible commitment. The “pledge” was a charade like most senate hearings.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
