There seem to be a lot of people under the impression that if Trump is impeached and removed for treason, that the VP and his whole cabinet go with him. That’s not correct. You have to impeach and remove one at a time. Art II Section 4 simply lists all the offices eligible for impeachment.

Looks like a variant of what conservatives have long decried as a collusive "sue and settle." Also the consent decree has not been approved by the judge yet. @ACLUVA is seeking to block it on behalf of so-called dreamers. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26... Judge Robert Payne (GHWBush)

My first review of 2026!
Our information infrastructure pretends neutrality when in reality it runs on amplifying bias.
Nothing threatens our civilization more than these opaque, unchecked, monopolysed public opinion machines.

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Not only do Republicans have no agency, neither do voters.
There is NO charge that would've prevented Trump from running, because any conviction would've been appealed through 2024.
And the only people who let him go free are the people who didn't vote against him.
Twice.

Joe Biden’s fatal flaw was relying on the reluctant institutionalist Merrick Garland to prosecute the case of insurrectionist Donald J Trump. Had Garland done his job, Trump would have been banned from office and America and the world would not be in this predicament.

Half way through the Jack Smith transcript and it’s become abundantly clear why Jim Jordan didn’t want public testimony. Jordan spends a lot of time whining about the toll subpoenas, and Jack Smith shuts him down every time.
