MTG is kind of like Harvey Korman - once she broke character, the whole sketch fell apart.

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

i said to a friend it was a slow news day and then had to remind myself the president called for the execution of congress members and it’s just crazy how his blood lust has become routine

The oddest thing about this, apart from the sheer horror of it, is that he cashed in whatever argument he had about Charlie Kirk's murder -- an argument made in incredibly bad faith, but an argument just the same, which he used as a sword and shield -- *in a blink of an eye.*

Completely reckless.
Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation.
They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump.
I wish I was.
I really wish I was.

Great thread explaining it all, which in short adds up to ....

The United States Department Of Justice can't litigate its way out of a paper bag without injury.

My God.
The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

It means we are in a hell that we designed.
"There was the flag as it mutated from metaphorical to literal weapon, as it was marred by a corruption of the American character that could not be understood or even fully observed through the prism of the partisan binary."
