"Somehow the image of the people bowing and praying to the neon god they made has a certain resonance today. And so does the idea that the response has been...the sound of silence."

The Insidious Effort To Rationalize Trump’s Lawfare

This is not a president justified in going after those who went after him. It’s a person making a mockery of our justice system.

I am so upset and I'm having harder times enjoy enjoying friends who I know voted and support Trump, even though we don't talk about it. We don't talk politics to be safe. But I am losing all respect for these people who supported him. I'm struggling.

Sometimes nowadays Watergate can feel almost quaint, but this is a good refresher on Nixon's corruption and poor character, and how Nixon wrote the playbook in many ways for Trump: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-nixo...

Trump’s Abuses of Power Show We Didn’t Learn Much From the Nixon Era

That failure is implicit in nearly every frame of a new documentary about Katharine Graham.

THE MORE YOU KNOW…💫

What if we gave teachers $50k signing bonuses, $100k salaries, and $60k in student loan forgiveness.

You know, the same as ICE gets.

He doesn't have a brain either. And he's missing a heart as well.

Q: What is your view on a two state solution?

TRUMP: I don't have a view. I'm gonna go with what they agree to.

My heart breaks. The selfish GOP is so deplorable.

How do you hide a war zone? Seems to me there would be some evidence of that left behind.

How do we all stand up against this cowardice of GOP. What are they doing protecting the Conman Donald Trump. How much blackmail does the orange head have against all these people?

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

I am not convinced these are real law-enforcement people. The mask gives it away. I think a bunch of "wannabes" have been hired. It is scary as crap because they are not trained. This makes me sick of what America has become.

Bondi is unbelievably rude and socially unacceptable and vile. She's starting to give Stephen Miller a run for his money in evilness.

This is the most bizarre display of bullshit I have ever seen by an AG who is in over her head. Unbelievable crap. Lie after lie after lie. And when she said what she said about Karolying, I almost fainted.

Now her attacks on Adam Schiff are totally inappropriate.

What an immature and bombastic approach she is demonstrating. She thinks she's showing how skilled she is, but she is showing how incompetent and how she is only supporting DJT. Deplorable.

I am so sick of his racism and misogyny. Crockett has more IQ in her little toe than he in his whole brain. He's jealous of this smart and accomplished woman. We need more Crocketts. She is awesome. We are very lucky to have her in Congress. She takes a stand for what's right no matter how difficult

Bondi's behavior. Bondi's disrespect to the senators. Her lies on and on and on.
She is a female Trump. Pointing fingers at some bullshit examples to avoid answers to serious questions. This is unbelievable.

What is wrong with her? How can she have such a dark soul? She is speaking to DJT only. Her sassiness is unbecoming of an attorney general.

One day, she will look back at this and go oh my God I cannot believe I covered for DJT

The speaker is such a horrible, horrible idea of a speaker. He is not a leader. He's also hiding something. So he is definitely running scared and he's definitely been blackmailed. Trump is really good at blackmailing. Ask Lindsey Graham about being blackmailed.

I have never seen so many chicken shits in one room with the GOP Congress. They are scared of him what children are scared of bullies. The fact that they are scared of him is disgusting.

Thank you for taking a stand. But you and Schumer need to be more direct when you're on television. Make it very clear healthcare for illegals does not happen. Stop the lies that the DJT administration has on website, on TV, on Fox. The illegals do not qualify for these benefits.
