This out-of-touch elitist New Yorker TV star criminal has no idea what it's like to be the average struggling American who determines their grocery list by what's on sale. This is what the Republican Party thinks of your struggles. Less important than golfing with Saudis.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

If this was a screenplay, it would be cut for being too stupid for the audience to suspend disbelief. "So POTUS announces tariffs on most of the world, the stock market drops 5%, the President basically says "everything's fine" once, and fucks off to his own golf club? Nobody will buy this shit!"

If you're an immigrant and we don't like your speech, we'll revoke your visa and forcibly deport you to El Salvador. If you're a citizen and we don't like your speech, you're going to be taken to court by what's left of the IRS until you're broke. Welcome to America under the Trump regime.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?
