So, the Feds can raid Swawell's house for a sex assault claim, but raiding Mar-A-Lago to get classified documents that Trump refused to return is political persecution?
Just today's proof, there is no bottom.

So the Feds will raid #Swalwell 's house for sex assault claims, but not #Epstein 's New Mexico ranch where dozens of women claim to have been trafficked (incl some underage).
Got it.

Because then safety can only come from obedience (and payment) to him.
It's Mob Boss 101.

So, North Korea helping Russia bomb Ukraine has no impact on his decision-making.
But South Korea failing to help him attack #Iran (who he has repeatedly said was "obliterated" and not needing any help) is the deciding factor.
Once again, allies CANNOT trust Trump's America

The US military has a $1 trillion budget, yet sailors are served rotten food and are jumping off ships to get away.
Where is the scandal?

With American troops in the Middle East in a war with #Iran and short on surface-to-air defense, Trump takes some SAMs to go golfing (see 👆)

If Dems retake the Senate, you can be sure the GOP will jam through two replacement SCOTUS justices on the way out.
The top priority of Senate Republicans for decades has been to build the #CorruptSCOTUS

PPE during the pandemic, solar panels now or even basic affordable homes ...any of those would save thousands of lives if the US Government leaned into accelerated production.
Crickets.
But running low on bombs to hit countries that we aren't even in a declared war with? Well, it's a fricking national priority!
#ThisIsAmericaNow -
Nailed it!
Searing analysis shows how #Trump 's lack of knowledge, and determination not to gain knowledge, has trapped him in a futile spiral in the #Iran war.
It would be a black comedy or a farce, if it were a movie.

The best thing about incredibly corrupt #Blanche getting confirmed (of course) is that the clock has now started on Trump firing him like every other AG stooge he has appointed.

Horrible, horrible choice!
Jeff Sessions WS bad.
Bill Barr was worse.
Pam Bondi was even worse.
Todd Blanche is horrific!Justice no longer exists as a concept in the US Federal Gov.

Why fix wealth inequality when you can just declare it gone?
Same strategy the GOP has used to eliminate racism.

Trump firing an inept stooge he appointed is not a genuine effort to correct an error.
*That* is why they are there - to do his will, echo his talking points and corrupt the entire system as much as possible... until eventually the outrage builds and they are cut lose.
Firing is the natural end-stage of the process ...scapegoat.

Of course, he's not sane
And he's been making these unhinged and grandiose statements about #Iran for five months now (longer on other topics).
Nobody buys this nonsense, except people whose livelihoods or self-image relies on him

No debate. No Congressional involvement. No process.
The #AmericanClownEmperor wants it, so it becomes law.

Mislabel every country on a map
Shoot citizens dead in the street
Withhold documents required by law
Issue tariffs the SCOTUS says are unconstitutional.

No one should fall for #Cornyn 's "just promise me" threat to block #Blanche 's nomination.
He has repeatedly broken the law and Constitution. He wont respect any written promise, if he doesn't respect those.
Cornyn will vote yes. It's yet another GOP charade to look principled.

Corporate welfare is alive and well in America
The solution is obvious ... 2% tax on corporate profits to subside Medicaid.

Why should Trump believe his own security people - Americans vetted and led by the best in the business - when he can just ask the dictator who has invaded several of America's allies?

Some day, when the MAGA regime is gone, one of the fixes will need to be hard regulation of conflicts of interests for lawyers.
How many times have we seen collusion between different parties who share a lawyer?
Here, a lawyer is a DOD advisor and also hired by a job applicant...who unsurprisingly gets the job.

Yet another direct assault on the US Constitution - joke or not -
In today's #NotSanewashedNews
"80 year old political neophyte belatedly realises hammers are very limited tools of governance"
FFS, anyone who has raised a child has learned this lesson. It's another sign of Trump's ineptitude that he only now realises the limits of hard power.
