I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.

Dr. William Foege, 89, who helped end smallpox in the 1970s, recently wrote: RFK Jr.’s “words can be as lethal as the smallpox virus.” And his actions are more lethal still. He’s waging war on America. That’s an impeachable offense. He must be removed from office.

"'People don’t want to reach this conclusion: This is authoritarianism."
A high profile conservative lawyer (and the ex-husband of former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway) is calling Donald Trump’s political strategy what it is: “authoritarianism.”

Arguably the most anti-religious administration in history. Just nakedly hostile to those who wish to practice their faith.
Trump administration moves to bar states and even private (!) nonprofits, such as Red Cross, from helping undocumented immigrants after disasters.

👇🎯 Again, the wildly illegal and unconstitutional authoritarianism is the hed, dek, & lede. It’s the <only> story that matters. Everything else is details & diversions.
Biden authorized the funding for this bridge. In any case, the finer point here is that the president of the United States is THREATENING TO DEGRADE THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF MAJOR CITIES IF THEIR LEADERS OFFEND HIM.

Trump:
On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him”
On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well”
On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with”
On J6: “It was a day of love”
To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.”
Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

71% of Americans believe Trump knew exactly what Epstein was up to. Trump knows he's screwed bc of it. So screwed in fact, he has to try to shut down voting, gerrymander districts, embarrass a foreign leader, and embarrass US in his meeting with Putin... This is all desperation.

What @GavinNewsom and Texas Dems are modeling is you can stand up to the bully and live to tell the tale.
Like the Tennessee Three before them.
A valuable lesson to teach to light the way for others no matter the outcome.

Trump would concede at the table what Russia could not take on the battlefield. Americans should not accept this from this weak ass president.
