“Our president will start a war with Iran," Trump warned in 2011, because it's the only way "he's going to get reelected."

Sooooo Dems on Intelligence Committees were not briefed Iran nuclear facilities were to be bombed — that is some straight up impeachable BS
Don’t roll up here with “but Obama, but Biden” they didn’t exclude an entire political party. Trump should be removed from office.

"Stranger danger" is so nefarious as a propaganda tool, because 1) most sexual violence is committed by people known to the victim and 2) the people imagined to be "the stranger" (trans people, immigrants, Black people) are themselves most at risk for facing violence from people they don't know

I tend to not bash Democrats because I think most of the time they're bashed because people aren't paying attention to the right ones. Schumer and Jeffries are sleeping on the job, no doubt. There are 100 more who are rising to the occasion every day and not getting the press for it. 1/6
