If Trump indicts NY AG tish James we need NY prosecutors to investigate and prosecute all the Trump children living in NY starting with Donald Jr.

Donald Trump is using his DOJ to target anyone he thinks has wronged him or stands in the way of his agenda. It doesn’t matter if there’s a real case—if you’re a threat, you’re a target.

Today it’s Tish James. Tomorrow? Who knows.

Fascism in real time.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

We elected the most soulless, self-absorbed empty suit we could possibly scrape from the gutters of late-stage capitalist grift. Twice.

This is on us as much as on him. As a country, we showed ourselves as infantile rubes and slack-jawed marks. As a people, we asked for this. Twice.

The sitting US Attorney General came to the oversight hearing with a notebook filled w/ Russian internet propaganda.

GOP Chairman Chuck Grassley allowed Bondi to slander his colleagues with insinuations and downright lies. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Republicans will say he’s just joking. Media will say it’s just Trump. But if it was any other President, we’d taking him seriously, and we should here too.
