Gee, wonder if that is an impeachable offense
Two days ago, we discovered Trump has engaged in the most corrupt behavior of any president in history—giving secret technology to China's ally in exchange for the Trump family getting half a billion dollars.
And nobody is still talking about it. #Corruption

I also think "he was literally selling pardons, none of these are legitimate" is a great message.
we should proceed with prosecutions with the presumption that the president cannot pardon crimes he ordered to occur while simultaneously advancing court-packing legislation.
It's so cool how we just accept that federal accountability is dead and the president will just pardon any federal crimes as easily as he pardoned everyone for January 6, and we just live with this fact instead of tearing down the rest of the White House around him.

It's a very regrettable choice.
Always remember. Not defeating Russia is a choice that Europeans and Americans are making. Nothing more, nothing less.

In other words, appeal to hatred.
It's something being tried in Canada, too. But I think our multi-party Westminister parliamentary system is more robust to it. As well, we are not subject to:
(a) years-long election campaigns
(b) unlimited political donations
(c) rampant gerrymandering

Hard to believe, and that is no doubt the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Every congress person who isn't screaming from the roof tops for impeachment is failing.
Polymarket, the gambling app that lets users bet on just about anything, was being investigated for violating money laundering laws.
Then Trump became president. The DOJ dropped its probe. And Don Jr. (who was an investor) got hired as an advisor to the company.
Funny how that works, huh?

America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers.
And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.
Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

Sea change?
The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.
Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.
