If a New Democrat Congress fails to prevent this from happening again, another Trump will likely rise to power. History is forgotten, and we discuss our forefathers’ attempts to prevent destruction, but they couldn’t foresee this. Criminals should not be allowed to run for any office. End of story.🔄

📌Fact is if you had a special election ANYWHERE in the United States right now, the Democrat would over-perform, and likely by a significant margin as we saw again in Texas Saturday.
📌The Republican regime led by stupid-Putin is a complete, blood-thirsty mess and people aren't having it.

What ICE did to this child was wrong.

What We Expect Athletes to Say Now
Not long ago, taking political stands almost seemed to become part of the job. These days, in another moment of social crisis, expectations have shifted.

A noteworthy takeaway from tonight's Texas result is that the Republicans spent a metric truckload of money on this race. They spent millions more than the Democrats. The loss itself aside, this is a gigantic, flashing warning sign for the GOP's finances.

Day 376
Yesterday the Republicans lost a seat, in Texas, they had won previously by 17 points.
It seems that apart from a few Russian funded right wing ‘influencers’ and 10 million chat bots on Twitter, AMERICANS DO NOT LIKE FASCISM.
Trump will try and cancel the midterms.
You are all caught up.
