You don't fire the military lawyers (JAG) and the Chairman of Joint Chiefs if you aren't planning on pushing your "Commander in Chief" status to the limit. Let's hope there are soldiers who will uphold their oath since our leaders aren't.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

If academics start saying, "We can't speak out on this important issue, or else politicians will attack and defund us," then those politicians have already won.

If you try to steal a loaf of bread, and hurt no one in the process, America will throw you in prison. If you try to steal an election, and hurt lots of people in the process, America with throw you a party, give you its most prestigious job, and millions of dollars to squander on your vulgarity.

Republican policies are so harmful and unpopular that it took a massive disinformation campaign just to get 49.8% of the vote from an all-time high uninformed electorate.

You support someone who promises to hurt me and people I love. As Charlie Chaplin said, "I don't shake hands with Nazis."

MAGA spent almost ten years furiously railing against people it pretended trafficked children. #Pizzagate And now Matt Gaetz, someone who genuinely traffics children, is nominated for Attorney General and they can't yawn hard enough. Fakes, liars, and hypocrites, the lot of them.
