She Won. They Didn't Just Change the Machines. They Rewired the Election.

Why didn’t DJT send in National Guard on Jan 6 during an actual insurrection?
I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

I’m in LA and there is no insurrection. Only peaceful protests. And why didn’t DJT call out National Guard on Jan 6 when there actually was an insurrection against our government?

The crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the US is far lower than the crime rate of the current occupant of the Oval Office.
This is all a gigantic misunderstanding.
The indictment is so he's qualified to be in Trump's cabinet.

So in a bizarre development, Kilmar Abrego Garcia is on his way back to the US from El Salvador BUT he’s now been indicted for allegedly transporting undocumented migrants within the US.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Why hasn’t George Clooney come out against Trump? He was so concerned about Biden’s health, while he achieved historic legislation, lowest unemployment since the 70s & led an economy that was envy of the world. Where is he now that a sociopathic oligarch tears up the Constitution?

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.
I will never bow down.
