There’s two other ways.

1. Remember, during WWII, only 11% of Germans died from the war. So, even that was largely survivable (it was, of course, horrific).

2. And also, Jodi Ernst said he would die and she didn’t say when. Somebody should ask her.
I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

Welcome to the let-them-eat-cake phase of the felon's reign.
Still wild that this is real — as Trump loots the country and health care bills skyrocket with masked goons terrorizing black and brown people… they rich dance in dog masks at Mar-A-Lago Eyes Wide Shut-style

I thought the felon was blowing boats out of the water, claiming they were narco terrorists headed for this country, and here he is pardoning yet another guilty drug dealer.
How is Trump pardoning a republican rep's meth dealer son not a major story at every media outlet right now? Given the pearl clutching over the pardon of Hunter Biden, has the GOP and corporate media suddenly started caring about addiction? Or is there just a double standard? (Rhetorical)

Drastically reduced? YES! Russ Vought had most of the staff RIFed in 2025.
RFK Jr is consolidating all HHS FOIA offices from across agencies into one. It is a hot mess.
We are glad the FOIA impacts are getting attention.

"NO, WE ARE NOT INVESTIGATING." Well, except for the governor...and the mayor...you know, people who weren't involved---but the guy who actually killed her?

Nope...

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Martin Luther King Jr. was the driving force behind the Civil Rights Movement, urging Americans to speak out against injustice and rally for the dignity and humanity of all people. That message is as timely and resonant today as it was in the 1960’s. “I think we’re at a point where none of us can no longer be neutral, and we really are looking at a battle for the soul of America,” said Dr. King’s daughter-in-law, social justice activist Arndrea Waters King.
