The future of Red America: stuck in near indentured service, you can't pay for the treatment to cure your daughter but manage to scrunge up just enough to take her to the closest privately run national Park for a final hurrah. Tears roll down your face as you say you're so lucky to be an American.
Honestly, this was probably why they agreed to let him testify publicly.
NEW:

Trump just said Jack Smith "should be prosecuted for his actions."

He adds: "At a minimum, he committed large scale perjury!"

Just imagine being the parent of a soldier from Canada or Denmark or Great Britain or France who was killed in Afghanistan in the one and only time Article 5 was invoked and the entire alliance came to America's aid, and hearing President Bone Spurs say this.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Jim Jordan just started speaking and has already lied. (Said Smith's team sought "phone calls.") He wastes no time. A master of efficiency.

As someone who spent the last 15 years working with aging brains & dementia, I can't stop thinking about this. It is gerontocracy: leaders who are substantially older than most of the adult population. When did we accept this? The new generations can't show up because the old generations never left.

There’s been multiple Super Bowl ads for Jesus with the slogan “He gets us.”

Are there really no PACs or foundations or concerned rich people to buy Super Bowl ads broadcasting footage of ICE brutality to the country?

Two 30-second spots, plus widespread promotion on socials, would run ~$20m.

European business elites are fed up with trump.
Last year they were impressed and enthused but the recent tariff threats show trump isn't moving toward moderation. Europe is looking more appealing for its stability and rule of law.

Not Complicated: The People liked "Trump's policies on immigration" but never liked Trump's actual policies: kidnapping 5 y/o children or hardworking parents of American citizens OR shooting white women in the face. The People were misinformed by Media & Political Elite what "mass deportation" meant
This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

kidnapping a 5 year old to bait his father and then shipping them thousands of miles away should put you in prison, yes, but it should also cause every friend and family member you have ever had to permanently reject you in disgrace, and if they don’t, they share your shame

Good choice of photos, Agence FRANCE Presse.

"It's being claimed that President @EmmanuelMacron increased the price of medicines," the president's office wrote on X with a meme of Trump and the words "fake news".
"He does not set their prices"

well hang on it wasn’t that simple. they *also* committed another insurrection before the televised insurrection
why is everyone debating the Biden DoJ's legal process

everyone relevant openly committed, suborned, or conspired to commit insurrection, which is punishable by death, on national TV. the moderate position should have been to arrest them immediately and shoot them later after a trial
