Here’s the deal: the people who were given authority and didn’t use it to immediately hold Trump accountable (Pelosi, Biden, Garland) didn’t want to.
The one guy who was given authority and almost immediately began indicting Trump - Jack Smith - DID want to.
That’s it! We’ve cracked the code!

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

French judge explains how Trump sent people from the US Embassy to try to intimidate her during Marine Le Pen's trial for embezzlement — and details how he has used similar fascistic tactics to intimidate other judges around the world who rule against his alt-right friends.

We had endless articles and TV clips about Biden's mental capacity but silence about Trump's obvious unfitness when he says he's going to start a war with Denmark over Greenland because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize.
Not the sort of letter committed to paper by a well man. "Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace"

Everything is really scary and horrible, and on the utter flipside, we made these really adorable valentines.
The dissonance of seeing horror, then posting "hey buy some cute valentines" is making me feel loopy.
But also nice things persist despite terror? Ugh idk.

Republicans have mastered the art of making excuses for horrific things they want and forcing an argument online and in media over the *excuse* rather than the deed. It ends up in completely fake arguments. Rufo & others basically admit this.

Immigrants commit fewer crimes, meaning they're not the threat they've been made out to be. Thus, ICE's deployment and actions are political. Assass*nation refers to someone being killed for political reasons. Put it together, and you see Renee Good was assassinated. It's also terrorism.
