Manhattan prosecutors say Donald Trump's election in November shouldn't mean his conviction of 34 felonies in May needs to be vacated. They’re right:

“President-elect immunity doesn’t exist.”

Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker tell the story of Kash Patel's compulsive lying placing SEAL Team Six at risk of being shot out of the sky in an American hostage rescue operation in Niger.

Patel’s response was: “If nobody got hurt, who the fuck cares?”

Cassidy Hutchinson is one of the many people on Trash Patel's hit list.

Her "crime"?

She testified before the j6 committee. She was pressured by Trump's camp to downplay what she knew. She did not.

This is one of the many reasons Trash Patel cannot have any role in law enforcement.

Murder is bad: whether you're a person on the street or a CEO denying health coverage. Both should be scrutinized, but one is provided cover in the name of profit and capitalism.
Yeah, but crickets. 😡

Democrats urge Republicans to confirm President-elect Trump won’t seek a third term, citing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit. Concerns arise over protecting constitutional norms. Should this be clarified now, or is it unnecessary? Share your thoughts!

Trump’s Deportation Plan Faces Pushback

Trump’s plan to deport immigrants to countries like Turks and Caicos, Panama, and Grenada faces resistance. The Bahamas rejected it, and the ACLU calls it “illegal,” vowing to fight. Despite opposition, Trump’s team insists they have a mandate. Thoughts?
