Please give a thought to people whose New Year’s Eve was spent in bomb shelters because a criminal invader was trying to destroy their energy infrastructure.

If you watch the deposition of Jack Smith, you'll conclude as a matter of necessity that Donald Trump should be in a federal prison right now rather than the White House. He's only living outside a cage due to dumb luck. And all of us are paying the price.

Beyond @atrupar.com’s on point description of this (and every other) unhinged, nakedly racist and fascist post from Trump, it is important to note that the regime has been intensifying attacks on opposition members of Congress.
And I think that is actually a calculated strategy for what comes next.
