A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

Using the documented history available to humanity, who has looked around the world and found theological nationalism a success? Maybe I'm uneducated, but when I see "[religion] nationalism", I think "conflicts at best, wars at worst, and nobody wins".

WTF? @washingtonpost.com just published a profile about Chris Buskirk—who co-founded the Thiel-backed Rockbridge Network with JD Vance—that omitted Buskirk’s ties to American Reformer, self-professed Christian Nationalist William Wolfe, & Wolfe’s Center for Baptist Leadership. 1/

This might be the best opening to a closing argument I've ever seen.
Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

I'm taken back to Alan Dershowitz' argument in Impeachment I, where he said "If a president does something which he believes will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment"
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."
