No two Republican senators spent more minutes of their career trying to break American democracy than Lindsey Graham & Mitch McConnell. - They believed in nothing - Lied with impunity - Created the corrupt system Trump seized - And did nothing to atone for it

A Police Executive Research Forum report from 2014 showed that CBP officers were purposely placing themselves in front of moving vehicles, and then shooting at them. This isn’t something that can be reformed. Abolish ICE. www.npr.org/sections/the...

At the #NATOSummit Trump didn’t pronounce the host country’s name the same as we’ve heard in the #FIFAWorldCup. He says Turkey like the Thanksgiving bird. The Turks say Türkiye, with emphasis on the yay. They laugh AT him, not with him when he says stupid shit, which he does daily.

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes this afternoon. He was in good spirits, waxing philosophical on topics ranging from VAR, Supreme Court nominees, the filibuster and how he models his life on Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.

America’s 250th came and went with all of the failings and overt corruption of the Trump administration perfectly encapsulated in the disastrous mess that is The Reflecting Pool. Congress needs to bring this fiasco to an abrupt end. #ETTD
