Donald Trump defaulted on a $330 million loan for his Chicago skyscraper. And it wasn't the only time he defaulted on a loan or failed to pay a bill.

Instead of responding only with thoughts and prayers, Australia will respond with laws and regulations. Because, unlike the United States, it values the lives of its citizens over any sick adulation of firearms.

At some point if you’re the government, & you understand what doing justice means, you let this case go. If a grand jury won’t indict, a trial jury definitely won’t convict. But it’s hard to move on when the boss wants to get revenge. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Lindsey Halligan is no Pat Fitzgerald. The attempt to besmirch Fitzgerald’s reputation was a cheap shot, and one that will undoubtedly misfire. She’s no match for what she’s up against—the rule of law & lawyers who care about it.
James Comey responds to Lindsey Halligan's claim that his counsel, Patrick Fitzgerald, ever "improperly disclosed classified material." Says the claim is "provably false" and an "effort to defame" Fitzgerald.
