When Americans elect criminals like Trump & Co. because they convince us they will “Make America Great Again”, this is the outcome.
They care nothing about Americans- they’re only in it for the grift.

Republicans are now mocking the Americans who attended “No Kings Day” as a bunch of old senile people, suggesting that they have nothing else to do with their time.
I wonder if they know who the biggest voting block in America is?

In the Third Reich, Hitler’s will replaced German law. Whatever he wanted, he did.
Life in the early months of Trump’s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.

Pam Bondi REALLY feels the need to convince others she is not corrupt, which is a great way to tell others how utterly corrupt you are.

This is the President explicitly threatening to withhold federal funds from New York City if voters elect a candidate he opposes.
This is an unlawful attempt to coerce voters through federal financial threats and a textbook example of voter intimidation to influence the outcome of a local election.

If an enemy of the president can be charged with a federal crime the Department knows it can’t prove, then the Department is rotten to the core.
Bondi is unfit for office and as legitimate attorneys leave we can expect more phonies like Halligan to fill in.

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. When the GOP let the ban expire in 2004 they increased by 243% - don’t try to say bans don’t work, the data doesn’t lie.
