The pivotal event in US history is NOT Drumf being in the Epstein file, not Drumf's future impeachment and trial, BUT whether Drumf will relinquish his term or take the military and his supporters to civil war.

Someday, we may have the luxury of retelling all of the details of how the people brought down the SOB known as Trump, including other cowards' actions like Little Mikey adjourning the House in order to delay an end that cannot be avoided by the actions of even the most vile and perverse among them.

This and other US missteps in delivering necessities to fight Putin SHOULD nullify Drumf's extortion agreement for Ukraine to repay the US in mining of minerals. Everybody wins and wins with Drumf.

If the 'current administration' isn't concerned with law, why would Drumf and flunkies care about 'procedure' or 'protocol' or 'honored tradition'?????

A friend from Ukraine was chatting just now when this came up:

"All of us 'little people' are nothing more than political and missile fodder for rich politicians."

He has Putin, we have Drumf. With Drumf, we stand on the precipice of martial law. At that point, I'm not sure which is worse.

Anybody else stark-raving-mad at Democratic Party 'leadership?' I am going to change my voter party affiliation to 'Independent' and they'll have to earn it back.

It wasn't a reelection campaign, it was a reboot of fucking 'Weekend at Bernie's.' GRRRrrrrrrrr...!

The rest of the free world BETTER step up, because I guarantee you, Ukraine will be the first to either prevail or fall, and the rest of the world will be next.

Evil madmen are testing us for our appetite to defend freedom.

Humans are social creatures? By nature, necessity or to their demise?

One could easily argue that the rise in access to others is directly correlated to the destruction of the human race.

This, then points to the fatal flaws of societal existence. Change my mind.
