Jesus, Dems are always a mile behind the public.

What we need to see:

1.) No masks.
2.) No cosplaying as an army in a warzone.
3.) No warrantless searches.
4.) No assaulting protesters.
5.) No random stops or racial profiling.
6.) Get the hell out of Minneapolis.

and of course

Abolish ICE.

The US military is not supposed to take it on themselves to remove political leaders, and we wouldn't like the result if they started.

It's the members of the Supreme Court and Congress who are standing by and allowing him to go rogue.

A guy who thought the 2020 election was stolen planted bombs on January 5th and they're pretending his crime wasn't tied to the man who pardoned 1500 like-minded rioters.

Are we sure this guy /can/ be tried for the crime?

Maybe he was pardoned before he was caught.

"If True"?

We know it's true.

Trump started publicly declaring that, "the President can't have conflicts of interest" just weeks after he was elected in November of 2016.

He spent the entirety of that term soliciting bribes and he's doubled down since his re-election.

"Oil, Land, and other Assets they previously stole from us"

I think there's a real story in the name of the last oil baron who was in the room with Trump.

Because he's clearly not talking about offenses against the US. He's carrying out a vendetta for one of his billionaire buddies.

He only does this because media moguls keep paying him extortion money.

And he only looked like he directed the rioters to storm the Capitol because he waited hours after they began their assault to tell them to stop.

Demanding reform of the Supreme Court is a long game, but it doesn't begin until people start playing. Right now Democratic leadership is obsessed about norms and "respecting the court".

We have to make clear that there are two sides to that bargain.
And to get leaders willing to say it out loud.
