“Scott? Hello? Look at me. You and I are talking.”
You can tell Scott Jennings knows how un-American this dismissal of due process is by how red-faced and petulant he gets when Abby Phillip is simply trying to have an adult conversation with him about what our laws actually say.

Never in our history has the US voted w/ Dictatorships at the expense of our Democratic allies—that is until today. Trump has not only just ruined US credibility as a global leader, but set back the global fight for democratic values and peace.
The United States joined Russia to vote against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's war against Ukraine in a stunning shift from years of US policy.
