Right out of the ‘great replacement’ diatribe of Eric Zemmour, a French politician so far right that he makes Marine Le Pen - whose party has Vichyist and even some Nazi roots. - seem moderate
That is what Trump has reduced the US to. No wonder a murderous dictator like Putin is so fond of him.

The only reason this is happening is to appease ranchers in Montana & Wyoming who have lost their shirt thanks to tariffs.
I know this is only adding to the list of emails and calls to representatives, but please consider doing either or ): these poor social creatures don't deserve any of this.

Democrats must erect a framework that encompasses the totality of the Trump era’s blatant disregard for the law. Watergate was about the actions of a president. The post-Trump legal process is the prosecution of a vast criminal conspiracy.
Will the Trump Administration be held accountable for its sweeping crimes?
