Remember Trumps campaign promise, not to cut SS, Medicare or Medicaid. He was only kidding.

Deputy attorney general, Todd Blanche, who also served with him on Mr. Trump’s legal team, accused Mr. Bove’s critics of spreading slander and misinformation…”His legal acumen is extraordinary, and his moral clarity is above reproach.”
Another blow to our Constitution by one bootlicker to another.

The Senate Republicans continue to be complicit in destroying our system of justice. The solution is to vote out these irresponsible, unethical, cowardly members of Congress.

If they are capable of protecting the perpetrators of sex with young girls, they are capable, both of murder and of destroying incriminating evidence.

During his first term of office, the Washington Post documented Trump’s lies or misleading statements as numbering 30,573, equating to 21 lies per day. This is the definition of a chronic liar.

No way, liar!

Hey Republican-appointed Supreme Court Justices! How about protecting the rule of law?
Did you study the Constitution in law school?
So you think a President’s illegal behavior deserves immunity! What if the President is mentally ill, or a chronic liar, or a convicted felon and sexual perpetrator?

“Trump's rolling pardon system has created a booming industry for lobbyists, with wealthy clients offering up to $5 million to get clemency requests in front of the president. Most pardons bypass DOJ review and often go to allies and donors.” NBC News

The presidency is up for sale!

“white genocide in South Africa” narrative is a lie. A straight-up, dangerous, white supremacist talking point that’s been debunked by journalists, human rights organizations, and the South African government itself. But that didn’t stop Trump.” Michael Cohen Meidas+

Trump is eliminating protected status of legalized Afghan and Venezuelan immigrants and simultaneously grant favorite immigration status for whites from South Africa as Trump claims they are being persecuted. ????

In his first term Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims, according to the WP.
