If only the US had Brazil's Supreme Court. If we did, like Bolsonaro, who also attempted a coup, Trump would be in prison.
Trump has granted pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts in attempting to overthrow American democracy.

Amen.
This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

This is correct.
democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up
