President Biden - never stopped being presidential even after going through cancer treatment, showing great leadership and stamina.
The felon couldn't be bothered being presidential, is destroying our country and pardons criminals like himself.

In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."

No the Democrats in this video aren't "implying" anything. Members of the armed forces ARE required to refuse illegal orders. This is simple. Not controversial at all. And it's super revealing that MAGA is so worried that troops won't carry out an illegal order from Trump.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
