This is exactly what Democrats should be doing!! You’ve got power and status so leverage it. More of this!!!!

This is a really excellent piece of work by Josh Marshall of TPM. Nothing this twerp does has legal actuality.

Can we impeach him for using concentration camps? Is this a high enough crime?

Chinese govt firesafe

not to mention all the women...

For consolation, I remind myself that we once had a Supreme Court that ruled slavery legal—but then I remember what it took to change that.
