How to Get Rid of "Citizens United"

Please tell me we're not rehabilitating Space Laser Lady just because she and Trump had a quarrel.

She's still a racist, transphobic, antisemitic piece of shit.

I do not think Trump and the GOP are unaware that if they lose the Senate and House, its Game. Over. Impeachment Time.
And they will act accordingly. Take that as you will. But they aren't going down easy and if you think year 1 of this was rough, I invite you to consider what cornered animals do.

they knew they had nothing going in. they’ve spent weeks terrorizing neighborhoods, with ZIP for results.
REMEMBER the violent attack on the apartments using Black Hawk helicopters, 300+ ICE terrorists, flash bang grenades, zip ties on kids and all their homes destroyed?

I can't believe that it came down to a judge telling Trump he couldn't starve 40 million Americans.

I don't know why. This entire year has been one long march to the bottom and beyond.
