The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you

This graphic proves that Trump’s domestic troop deployment has nothing to with Crime. And everything to do with Punishment of his political enemies.

Is it just me, or shouldn’t people be in the streets right about now?
The NG is monitoring the streets of our nation’s capital.
A clarion call to destroy the marriages of so many of us - and deny the vote to women, who largely vote Dem??
Mass nonviolent response.
The world is watching.

Winning all 7 swing states, with less than 50% of the popular vote, and outside the margins for recounts in those states is statistically improbable.
Analyzing the data from multiple states, we continue to see patterns consistent with vote manipulation.

Dearest Martha, we have been ordered to the main front, the self checkout aisle of the Home Depot over on 13th. I do not know if we will survive the night - tell our son that his father died preserving the sanctity of keeping a criminal from having to face a second of accountability.
Yours forever,

Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption.
Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

Update: I'm hearing the senate vote on this stupid crypto bill could come tonight.
This week should be about the despicable GOP reconciliation bill. The few Dems on this crypto bill aren't just wrong on policy, they're fracturing the party at a time we should be unified against GOP corruption.

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.
Martin O'Malley just mentioned state attorneys general filing state kidnapping charges. Just imagine the collective cheer in this country if state troopers pulled over, arrested and cuffed a van full of masked ICE fascists.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
