BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

ICE continues to assault, harass, & harm Americans. In Minneapolis, incompetent tax payer funded ICE hit a pedestrian & pepper sprayed civilians from their vehicles.
This happened after ICE decided to go up & down a street demanding to see people's IDs, caused chaos & injuries, & then left.

His delusions don’t fit the normal dementia pattern.

Severe mental health issue complicating his narcissism & dementia
His delusions of grandeur border on psychotic, or schizophrenic.
