It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

an actual not-made-up death panel, except there’s only one guy
“In Texas, CDC funds to stem a measles outbreak weren’t available until after the crisis had subsided and two children had died. A project to protect Alabamans from raw sewage and hookworm was abandoned…Time-dependent surveys on HIV and maternal mortality were halted…”

If by "assaults" they mean community watch members tailing these neo-Nazi Gestapo thugs to document their lawlessness, then fine.
Anything else these evil clowns are claiming is obvious lying and gaslighting.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.
Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

His last real primary challenger was… Geraldine Ferraro… in 1998.
Imagine how complacent you would be if you hadn’t had to try harder at your job even once for 27 years.

Only 20 pages in and @kamalaharris.com's book #107Days is completely engrossing, better than I'd even hoped. I have to tear myself away from it to get groceries.
It's answering all the questions I'd had a year ago about what was going on.
