Day # 14. Equality Matters

Clinton used Guatanamo Bay for migrants. As we rage about its use. Used during Haitian crisis.

We need to call out our own hypocracy.

We should ALL learn from history.

Without congressional approval or constitutional authority, the richest man in the world has taken over payroll of the US government.

How is this not a coup?

There's a very real question as to whether federal law will apply to Trump's allies at all during Trump's term. The atmosphere of impunity may be like nothing we've seen in our lifetimes.
BREAKING: Federal prosecutors based in Nashville have withdrawn from the criminal investigation of Tennessee Congressman Andy Ogles, an unprecedented move that could signal plans by the Trump administration to drop the case against a Republican ally. www.newschannel5.com/news/newscha...

“What’s the site? The water? You want me to go swimming??”

This was Trump’s response when asked if he had visited the site of the deadly DC plane crash.

The very same ghoulish sociopath who said “it is what it is” when he was asked about 1,000 Americans dying a day from Covid.

Kash Patel is trying to get the chairman to shut up Senator Klobuchar instead of answering her questions. Watch how she handles him.

Amy Klobuchar is one helluva powerful woman.

Senator Dick Durban to Kash Patel:

"With all due respect, Mr. Patel, I've not worn the uniform of this country and neither have you. To think that you would denigrate Bob Mueller's service to our country and call him a 'swamp creature' is an indication of the depths your political views take you."
