Exactly

The best solution,nobody gets violent or lifts a hand in peaceful protest.

Have millions of Americans peacefully protest and sing songs of praise to president OBAMA AND BIDEN.

dont give the child rapist his dream of insurrection or a reason to declare martial law

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

This seems like a good time to remind everyone of when Trump gave an address to 1500 Conservatives in front of a fake presidential seal containing the Russian Eagle and some golf clubs.

Yesterday Pam Bondi demoted herself from AG to trailer trash hood-rat criminal. Dishonest, corrupt, owned, social graces of a rattle snake.
No class. Just trash.
( is this just a meme or did she counsel canned ham to use DoorDash for future bribes?)

Anyone else remember that old SNL sketch in which Jon Lovitz is playing Michael Dukakis and Dana Carvey is playing George H.W. Bush and they're debating and in mid-debate Dukakis turns to the camera and says, "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy"?

Yeah, *that*

OMG. He REALLY said this today. The PRESIDENT of the USA has never heard of habeas corpus. Even 7th graders know that it’s a basic tenet of our constitution; that one cannot be detained without due process. Heaven help us!

I think… The bloated Twinkie was actually “in business” with Epstein and not only did he rape these girls, but he was a part of it, working alongside with Epstein as well….sort of like a glorified pimp.

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

Just sayin’:
“Comey’s attorney said he planned to challenge the case as selective and vindictive…He is also planning to argue the indictment should be dismissed because Halligan wasn’t lawfully appointed as U.S. attorney.”
