Joe is right. Pedo Trump is a dogshit human being and president.

He has to be removed from office.

It's in everyone's interest, Repubs and Dems alike, that the Epstein client list be made public. If you're on that list, regardless of your political affiliation or status, you deserve to be publicly pilloried.
No exceptions for (former) presidents or other wealthy people.

Period.

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's threat to suspend habeas corpus?

How many Republicans have spoken out against Trump's "gift" from Qatar?

How many Republicans--and other Republican-adjacent elites--put the Constitution above Trump?

The sad answer: vanishingly close to zero.

Breaking news:

“The Court ultimately determines that the Government's actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt.” Boasberg wrote on Wednesday.
Judge: 'Probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations
The government sent several planeloads of alleged gang members to El Salvador, including 137 people under the act, the White House said at the time. The judge gave the U.S. until April 23 to respond.

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships.

The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

the thing about this presidency is that there is zero doubt he is letting all his friends and family know before any trade move he makes, which would be in a top 10 presidential scandal of all time, but it doesn't even register with Trump because he does so many crimes & media gives him a pass

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.
Signal Chat Disclosure Poses Early Test for F.B.I. and Justice Dept.
Whether the agencies open an investigation will bring into sharp relief the intended approach of their leaders, Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who promised to administer impartial justice.

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Coons: "In addition to putting on a car show in front of the White House explicitly to benefit the stock value of Elon Musk, his billionaire buddy Elon Musk pledged another $100m to support Trump's political campaign efforts. The public corruption at the very core of this is just shocking."
