It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents.
He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity.
Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

I wonder how long it will take for one of the MAGA caucus in the house to propose a version of the, German,1933 Enabling Act? We are seeing that Trump’s puppies are being put forward for leadership positions in all branches of government, and the military and security services.

I can't stop thinking about how ESPN continues to platform Aaron Rodgers to spew insane conspiracy theories rooted in right-wing politics and yet unceremoniously fired Jemele Hill for a tweet truthfully stating that Donald Trump surrounds himself with white supremacists.

Lots of polls are showing that young, Black and Hispanic voters are unhappy with Biden’s presidency and will not vote for him in November. Some are saying it is a protest against the Democrats failure to make good on the promises made; i.e. forgiving student debt, climate action.

Gosh wouldn't it be weird if a SCOTUS justice deciding whether Trump engaged in insurrection was married to someone who was directly connected to Trump's activities? What a pickle we'd be in then.
