Big sigh. Watch this.

Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?

No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.
This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

After being kidnapped, trafficked overseas, and spending 160 days away from his family, Kilmar Abrego Garcia—who just finally reunited with family—was taken into ICE custody after his immigration check-in.

The Trump regime is a white supremacist terrorist organization posing as the U.S. government.

Important point from Gov Pritzker.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution?

TRUMP: I don't know

If a president’s answer to “do you need to uphold the Constitution” isn’t yes, HE NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY.
