Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

This is the same as issuing a death sentence to ten thousand people. It's not just cruel, it's murderous.
Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.
Thousands to lose access to HIV drugs with new cuts
An estimated 10,000 people are about to lose access to their HIV medication as the Florida Department of Health makes cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).

Maybe this is finally the moment Southern California can point to for the national Democratic party for why they should stop pushing Gavin Newsom for president.
big strong savvy gavin newsom apparently doesn’t even have the wherewithal to stand up to ben “i have never satisfied a woman in my life” shapiro
Only 15 days in and we have a strong contender for most embarrassing headline of the year.
Ben. Shapiro. The guy who can't get his wife wet. The guy who needs an old person to open the pickle jar for him.
