Donald Trump is like the little boy who puts his hands over his face and says, "You can't see me." Only he's psychotic and dangerous. He went the opposite direction on every promise. We are still headed for a depression. We need to impeach, remove, indict, convict, and imprison.

Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb:
“The Constitution is not adequate to deal with a President as evil as Trump—somebody whose desire is to accumulate and abuse power. Trump’s abuses of power are unprecedented.”

Inter Miami advance!
Lionel Messi is in some of his best form for Inter Miami right now and had three assists and a goal in a 4-0 beat down of FC Cincinnati tonight.
He has 6G/6A in four playoff games this year — record for single MLS playoffs.

It’s bad enough Trump was partying with Epstein in ’93 and raping minor girls, but the guy was also spewing straight-up racist garbage. In this 1993 hearing on tribal casinos, he literally said: “They don’t look like Indians to me.” This man has been trash forever.

“A friend who is a traitor is more dangerous than a hundred enemies put together.”
Russia drafted a 28 point surrender plan, handed it to the Trump team, and the regime delivered it to Kyiv unedited, demanding Zelensky sign it by Thanksgiving or lose all US support. Trump and Vance then promoted the plan exactly as Russia wrote it, verbatim, on TV, online, and in person.

Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.
He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.
