Former Senator Romney made it clear that the majority of the GOP caucus refused to vote to convict Trump at his 2nd impeachment because they & their family members were scared, because they & their family members were receiving threats. Threats just days & weeks after they were actually attacked. 2/

Farage has ‘never been angrier’ than when his daughter’s address was made public. But he and his followers have put many more in danger

honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 23h agoRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

"He has been known far longer to the RT audience than most of the British electorate," Russia Today claims."

America First somehow keeps ending with foreign governments getting the leverage, the technology, and the better deal. Trump treats national security like another personal transaction, then acts shocked when the whole thing blows up. Who exactly came first here?
