There was a time when I couldn't understand how the holocaust or the French revolution could happen. Now I understand them both all too clearly.

For cripes' sake. What did he think the result would be from giving Trump immunity? They don't get to act like they didn't enable and foresee the dismantling of checks and balances now.

He's telling them they need to work harder to interfere with elections. That's his priority apparently.

I wish something like that could happen. If all the great artists, journalists, actors, recording artists, reporters, etc. could join in some kind of employee owned network, I would watch it exclusively.
I miss having a giant network that includes news that isn't propaganda.

What happens when there are no jobs except to join Trump's thug militia? Will people do the right thing?
People often take horrible jobs to feed their families.
This whole situation is self imposed and infuriating!

Speaker Mike, your party is in charge.
A simple solution, IMO, is for you to go ahead and make a concession for the ACA subsidies now to tide us over. Then you could immediately present all the great health care plans you keep saying you have and move them forward with no gaps.
Unless Epstein.

Russia managed to facilitate a regime change in the USA. Now the USA is trying to facilitate regime changes where Trump wants different leaders.
It's dictators helping each other, IMO. Criminals like them don't care about drugs really.
Well, and Epstein distraction. Well, and coup planning.

What can be done to prevent a president from invoking the act if it is obvious he is the one creating it for his political gain?
We can't let the arsonist get rewarded for setting the fire!
We need laws, dammit, and judges that follow them.

Dem leaders should be screaming everywhere about what is in the bill that takes effect after the election.
Explain that Republicans set it up so several hardships won't be felt until they get elected again, or they can blame it on Democrats.

Imagine if every Democrat leader trolled and pushed back on Trump's nonsense as hard as Newsome has been doing.
It would "flood the zone" with Trump style BS and drive MSM's attention trying to respond to it. It obviously frustrates Trump and Fox who troll us every day.
Thanks, Mr. Reich!

I suspect the DoJ will release them in bits and pieces as they clean them up to protect who they want and accuse who they want.
The files are completely unreliable at this point.
We need the FBI agents under oath to testify what they saw and removed compared to anything Bondi releases now.

IMO, they've been assets since the GOP lawmakers, Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Ron Johnson (Wis), and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), spent July 4 in Moscow’s U.S. Embassy in 2018.

Trump keeps bragging about all the $ coming in "making us rich."
I went to the grocery store and it was $100 higher due to tariffs and inflation.
Obviously the $ he means is coming from us to pay for his pet projects. He can stop lying. We see our costs.
This will damage the economy.
