Why do they always present as the weakest baby men imaginable?
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

For 50 years the right has been telling us that the appropriate response to this is to open fire on these goons. They say we need assault weapons as a bulwark against a tyrannical government snatching people off the streets.

218-213; Rs + 1 Dem (Cuellar) vote yes.
Revised Trump-backed bill requires showing proof of citizenship "in person" to register and slaps photo ID rules to vote.

If I learned anything from the congressional hearings with Pam Bondi today it’s that Democratic elected officials need to normalize calling Trump an alleged pedophile and an alleged rapist of young girls alongside his good buddy, convicted child rapist and sex trafficker, Jeffrey Epstein.
