When will trump ever be held accountable? We can't let this stand

TRUMP/GOP Post-Truth anti-American Corporate Fascists are using Hitler's tactic of gradually outlawing guns to ALL who may possibly oppose them; STARTING with Liberals who use THC - who're much LESS violent that those who use/abuse alcohol. This has ZERO to do with reducing crime; IT'S NAZI CONTROL!

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas:

"It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

The strategy, White House officials said, was to wait out the Democrats, ramp up the pain and then watch as they eventually caved.

Locking people up was a campaign slogan for trump, screamed out by the salty-throated MAGA faithful at his rallies. The regressive thrill of promised cruelty to ‘the other’ blinded them to the fact that ‘the other’ may soon be themselves.

In addition to his role as pardon attorney, Martin leads the Weaponization Working Group, which probes alleged “politicization” of the Justice Department.
