The benedicttrump dictatorship needs to be ousted ASAP. It is a matter of life and death for millions around the world and freedom, democracy, and Rule of Law here at home. All the Repug ( repugnant Republicans) elected officials and all the MAGA accomplices are accessories to treason.

In unity, there’s strength to confront Trump. In disunity, cowardice

Why didn’t the nation’s top 20 law firms sign a friend-of-the-court brief against Trump’s vindictive executive orders? What their associates, coming associates, and law school deans ought to do.

Will all the MAGA folks notice that right after benedicttrump said he won the last election with the biggest margin of victory ever, he pulled stefanik's nomination to be UN ambassador because he is worried about the house majority. The traitor lies again! His lies are getting in the 6 digit realm.
