Anger is a gift. Know your enemy.
I’m an ally. I grew up near the swamp with WaPo in my crib. I’m all about politics, at least here. I learn by following those much smarter than me. And I influence by asking them questions and presenting newish ideas.

So here it the solution: A few more GOP house members take a hard look in the mirror and realize they CANNOT support this president any longer. AND THEY RESIGN! Thank you MTG for showing us the way. After the GOP majority becomes a minority then Dems can make the rest of the dominoes fall faster.

When I see the official White House account sharing messages like this from the current president of the United States, I don’t see an abstract “policy debate.” 🧵

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

(Meidas) Trump’s approval rating has crashed to second-term lows. Gallup has him at 36% approval and 60% disapproval. Reuters/Ipsos has him at 38%. Even Fox News, normally the political equivalent of a drunken stupor, can’t push him above 41%. Every aggregator shows the same: underwater & sinking.

It will take America *decades*—not merely years—to recover from what these robber barons did to us.
They destroyed our government, caused untold pain to the average American directly and indirectly, and used our money as their piggy bank.
And all of it *should* have been criminal.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Blowing up boats this way is a war crime-Doubly so for taking out the survivors, though that’s largely irrelevant. It gives no quarter. Interesting origins this phrase.
