I’m not sure how I missed this one, but it’s funny, isn’t it? The woman who went on national television and said that she didn’t anticipate the level of capitulation we’ve seen from the media and others to this administration is married to a man who is a partner at a law firm that’s capitulating…

The law firm where Emhoff, the husband of former vice president Kamala Harris, works is the latest to be targeted by the president

I’m actually really tired of everyone’s obsession with the Epstein files.
We know Trump is listed in them, we don’t need them to be released to know that.
But what’s really bothering me is that everyone thinks this is going to be his downfall. It’s not.
The impeachable offenses are countless.

The crazy thing is that our government only represents those who DO NOT pay taxes (billionaires, mega corps, etc.)
Our system was built on one simple demand: no taxation without representation. One man doesn’t get to decide who gets funding and who doesn’t.

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.

He is not the “head of the government”.
He’s the head of a fascist regime hellbent on taking down our government, and the American people along with it.
He doesn’t care if we remain number one in anything other than wealth disparity.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Honestly though, fuck Melinda Gates. She and her husband, along with every other American billionaire, are complicit in practically every problem the world is facing today.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

I think we should have work requirements for the presidency. Limits on golf trips, a mandatory amount of hours worked per week, and clearly defined metrics for their success. If they fail to meet these requirements, they lose their job and the benefits that come with it.
It’s odd that work requirements for benefits was supported by the laziest president in history.

I don’t understand how people don’t believe that #ACAB.
If most were decent people, there would be so much internal pushback on the atrocities committed by the police, that the system would change on its own.
Police departments attract the very people who want to be in positions of power. 1/2

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

And Clinton wasn’t exactly an example of a perfect human being. How far we’ve fallen…
While Clinton was in office, I worked in Big Consulting. We published a book on TQM in Govt with a Case Study of Bill's process improvement efforts in Arkansas as the Gov.
We sent him a signed copy of the book.
The White House returned it because they couldn't accept gifts worth more than $25.

That’s the thing, the President isn’t supposed to be able to unilaterally do almost anything. There are distinct limits to what can be done by executive order, and Trump has crossed that line almost every day that he’s been in office.
The fucker should have been behind bars months (years) ago.

And any sitting member of Congress or the Senate who is unwilling to impeach and remove said President is also betraying their oath of office to defend and uphold the constitution. They are unfit to hold their positions and should be removed as well.
A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

If you told me the sole item on Trump's domestic policy agenda was to find every endangered animal in the United States and euthanize it, it would make as much sense to me as the current Trump domestic policy agenda, which seems to have no relationship whatsoever to anything any normal person wants

There is nothing that Trump or his administration could possibly do that will get me to bend the knee.
I am not afraid.
I am not backing down.
I will never surrender to authoritarianism.
He will die eventually, and I’ll know that I was on the right side of history all along.
