At this point, it’s belaboring the obvious, but Congress needs to remove Donald Trump from office as soon as possible.

Local news has now posted video from a neighbor's surveillance cam. It does appear like the officer may have been pushed aside slightly by the bumper as the victim turned to leave.
Again, seems clear from the video that there was no deliberate attempt to run anyone down.

Had Mitch McConnell given the go-ahead to GOP Senators to vote to convict Trump at his post-Jan 6 impeachment trial, he would have been rendered permanently ineligible to hold office again. He would not be president today.

My politics vary from slightly-center-right to Sanders-flavor progressive, depending on the issue.
But oh my dear sweet Christ do I hate extremely-online extreme-leftists. Literally any conversation on Bluesky they slither into turns devolves into a flame war.
Utterly repellent, toxic people.

Dear non-American posters:
Please grasp something about anti-Trump Americans: we hate our current President, but we love our country.
If you’re here just to take a giant dump on our nation and people, or to give us smug, patronizing lectures about what we’re doing wrong, expect hostility.

There are lines which, if crossed, would render the federal government illegitimate. Meaning, a large number of Americans — including many governors, judges, and legislators — would collectively decide they owed no obedience or loyalty to any political authority beyond their state governments.

Non-ironic use of "USian" = instablock.
We're Americans. That's what we've called ourselves in English for longer than we've been a country. No intelligent adult takes it as a denial of the existence of the other 34 countries of the Western Hemisphere, or a claim on their territory.

One thing I’ve noticed about bullies and narcissists is that they *completely lose their shit* when anyone gives them a taste of their own medicine. Laugh at the bully, point out the narcissist isn’t as smart/strong/virtuous as they pretend, and it’s like you‘ve pissed on their mother’s grave.

I'l reiterate a point I've seen several other people make tonight: if Schumer is a "no" vote on this surrender but enough Democrats vote for it to pass anyway, then it is proof positive of his incompetence and ineffectiveness as Minority Leader and he must resign from that position immediately.
