The mother fucker who received due process 4 times says “I don’t know” when asked if people deserve due process. Anyone who is surprised by this authoritarian answer should count backwards from 11,780.

The most stupid person ever elected President?

Drain the swamp?🤣 Trump IS the swamp to a huge degree. The most corrupt president by a massive margin. The GOP? Far too scared to do anything to oppose his excesses.

Rupert Murdoch's father showed the way for the son. Wrote propaganda in WW1. Tried to have Australia's all-time greatest soldier, General Monash, sacked. Campaigned for quick police action in 1921 in a terrible rape and murder case. Whipped up hysteria about an arrested man. Later found innocent.

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

This week, Israeli academic @shaielb.bsky.social said he'd changed his mind. Israel is committing genocide, he concluded. I spoke to him about his change in position - and why he didn't think this sooner. Felt this was a very interesting discussion! www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJC...

This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.

Taking Everald Compton's and Mike Carlton's opinions of Angus Taylor as guides, I STRONGLY support Angus Taylor as the next leader of the Illiberal Party of Australia.

The fact that Watters thought this was a good story tells you how much Fox has fallen since the 90s.

Wow! What a clown show. It has long been obvious that Trump is not a smart man but this interview demonstrates that he has significant cognitive issues.

Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.

Devastatingly brutal criticism but 💯% fair, 💯% appropriate, 💯% spot on. Pritzker for President.

Jon Cryer repeatedly hit the nail on the head in this interview. Trump has impressed a lot of people who think he shows authenticity in his comments. What impresses his followers is purely a facade, with no substance behind it. Not an author, not an astute or even successful businessman.

If someone cannot honestly run a business, how can they honestly and competently run a country? “We had already worked for three (general contractors), and every single one of them lived up to their word until Donald Trump came to Atlantic City” edition.cnn.com/2016/09/13/p...

His whole presidency (both the past and present) has been about ripping off the American people for as much as he possibly could get away with…👇 And now, there’s this BULLSHIT!

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.
