Trump's 'speech' was part of a schedule of events that started in 2025 and will culminate in the 2026 Midterms. It's a constant drip drip drip of deception that will escalate into contesting the midterms. Someone should look at the history of Putin and how he has subverted elections in Russia.
Trump is attacking 'innocent until proven guilty'. Slander and claims of fraud without evidence violate it. Accusations of crimes without evidence apparently has no penalty besides getting tossed out of court. Accusers without evidence should face stiff penalties for their malice. Even POTUS.
FOX aired all of Trump's voting lies and slander. CBS joined the speech a few minutes in and left before it ended. ABC, NBC and CNN did not air the speech but ran the live feed on streaming channels. MSNOW cut away after 17 minutes. No prime time happened to Obama in 2014, and to Biden in 2022.
Republicans are trying to spin the legitimate indictments and investigations against Trump by Biden as if Biden weaponized the DOJ to try but fail to destroy him. They charge Biden with what TRUMP is doing despite Biden being right to indict, while Trump tries to avoid prosecution for his crimes.
The media line that Republicans are afraid of Trump is bullshit. Republicans are absolutely in bed with Trump and doing the nasty to the American people: Abortions, environmental deregulation, illegal immigrants, election denial, protecting pedophiles, executive grifting, war crimes - all if it.
Todd Blanche is Trump's Fixer. A fixer is someone hired or assigned to handle problems, often through questionable or illegal means. He fixed Epstein for Trump. He helped Trump try to establish the MAGA Party with $10B from American taxpayers. He tried and failed to defraud a court to do it.
Blanche is lying under oath. The committee knows it. Republicans are trying to whitewash the lies. Blanche's answers and pledges to do something are lies. He won't follow through at all. Evil persists when nobody stops it. Todd Blanche is malevolent. He cannot be confirmed to do evil in our name.
Congress should make a formal declaration of intent to Trump directly that they will be removing any and all changes to Washington, D.C. that Trump has taken upon himself to force upon the nation.
Eleven starts refer to the 11 southern states that seceded from the Union during the Civil War. When the 11-star design appears on a U.S. government or national emblem, it can be interpreted as a reference to the Confederacy. Trump wants an economy like that run by slaveowners in 1860.
Mitch McConnell isn't going to recover sufficiently to resume his office in the Senate. A month in the hospital for an elderly man with preexisting problems is more likely a hospice situation. If he had any concern for his well-being rather than holding on to power, he would have resigned already.
Replace Platner, but not the policies he put out there to win the primary in Maine. Another young, male or female progressive should replace him. One without Nazi sympathies and drunken violence against women. Progressives want social progress. That's what the people in Maine voted for.
If it's rape or abuse, it's disqualifying for public office. Allegation or not, better safe than sorry. That means taking the high road no matter what the creep's policies are. Rapers and abusers act in their own interests. They lie about what they are. They don't care. They make terrible Senators.
Why do we listen to an old man rambling on about so many lies that he can't possibly be sane? Then we listen to all the lies from constant sycophants trying to make the old man's lies true. When do we tell them that we know they are lying every time they lie and stop accepting the endless lies?
The Russians are coming is so 1950s it isn't funny. They're already here.
July 4, 1776 marks the birth of our nation. Its Constitution was signed on Sept. 17, 1787, and the states ratified it. Madison proposed constitutional amendments on Sept. 25, 1789. The states ratified ten of them on Dec. 15, 1791, to define the Constitution to include the Bill of Rights.
Where are the amusement park rides, the food vendors, the farm animals, the games of chance, the arts and crafts, the artists, the open-air concert, and the fireworks each night for America's 250 Great State Fair in DC this weekend? 250 years is worth more than a Ferris wheel and a miniature arch.🤔
Kavanaugh told us Congress can change amendments, which is true, but the challenge he glossed over is the difficult fact that it takes an amendment to change or repeal an existing amendment - details below. No way can MAGA Mikey and his henchmen roll this stone of iniquity up the hill of justice.
The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s attempt to toss the $5 million verdict in E. Jean Carroll's sexual abuse case. Trump finally has to pay her the $5,000,000.
SCOTUS has one more ruling, tomorrow, on birth right citizenship. Today, Apprentice POTUS can't fire Cook, with a pending case of mortgage fraud, but he can now fire Slaughter and other dept. heads at will in his Cabinet. Also, mail-in ballots continue unfettered by Republicans for elections.
The SCOTUS today made it easy to bring your gun into the supermarket, and harder to sue the chemical companies putting cancer-causing chemicals into their herbicides and insecticides. Baphomet is their horned god.
The Trump Administration officially revealed itself for what it is when Trump refused to sign the bipartisan affordable housing law unless Senate Republicans give him legal voter suppression to rig the upcoming election(s) to allow Republicans to keep control of Congress to protect Trump.
So Vance ends up going to Switzerland to start a new era of peace in the Middle East, but then Trump posts that the Iranians won't make it back home to Tehran if they don't listen. The post is killing two birds with one stone.
Bibi isn't taking orders from Trump, and the Strait of Hormuz is closed again because Bibi is still bombing southern Lebanon. Vance's talks in Europe are canceled, and Trump will blame him for the failure of the art of the deal. He might start bombing Iran again. He probably wants to nuke Tehran.
