"Raise your hand if you voted for Trump so his kids could make money off of government contracts." His sons profit from their investment in U.S. drones sold to Feds for Iran war. Family corruption has been a defining aspect of Trump’s second term.

Jesus expressly instructed this “Christian pastor” to feed the hungry. He did not, however, say one thing about LGBTQ people. Honestly, I have jewelry and houseplants that are better Christians than many Christians.

Schiff: "The president is entitled to his own views about me or anybody else. He is not entitled, however, to use the DOJ to go after his political opponents. The day we say that's ok and the day we confirm an AG who says that's ok is the day the rule of law becomes merely an unenforceable idea."

It’s past time to BAN CONGRESSIONAL STOCK TRADING! No member of Congress [or the White House] should be trading stocks. Period. The American people deserve to know their representatives are working for them, not corporations and stock portfolios. It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading.
You could grow a spine and do your damn jobs.

These pricks are raised in a bubble of privilege & immunity, told their entire lives that it's their right to have whatever they want & dominate anyone lower on the class or gender totem pole. They can not simply pivot, one day to the next, to a plausible attitude of regret & contrition. They can't!

Republicans won’t stop a corrupt tyrant from unnecessarily shaking down American taxpayers, but they *will* stop women from getting necessary healthcare. What amoral jackholes.
“Reciprocity is the name of the game,” one State Department official said. No, reciprocity is the name of Trump's game. He will get even, then try to stomp you into the ground. That's what Bullies do.
