You know those TV series that depict how fucked up the presidency and the entire upper levels of the United States government is? They have material for the next 25 years of broadcasting after the last 20 months of Trump Crime INC. And 50 MORE years for the last 28 months.

Nix with the "underage girls". There's no such thing. It's a term contrived by rape enablers & apologists to diminish the seriousness of child rape. Underage girls are children. Trump and other wealthy people raped and trafficked children. Anyone who uses that term is themself an enabler.

I listen to several radio pieces today on Gloria Steinham BY FAR, the most exceptional one was done by The World The poignancy of the stories that I haven't heard from any other broadcast was illustrated so professionally The World is a gem RIP, Gloria TheWorld.org: theworld.org/segments/202...

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

A peace president who doesn't bring about peace can effectively be called: A WAR PRESIDENT. 5th graders who are 12 years old know the difference. They're 7 years ahead of Donald Trump. FACT.

Donald Trump is a 5 year old. You wouldn't trust a 5 year-old with a BB gun He has a nuclear codes Everyone in the world is at risk when a 5 year-old temperament can destroy the world. Everybody can agree that he needs adult supervision But we've given him so much power everyone fears him 🤨

That's not at all what happened... Feel free to dislike the old white dude... but that is not what happened. Carvel said he will leave if other people do not leave the party.. so Bernie basically said: Feel free to do that, the door isn't locked. Carville doesn't get to pick who can be a Dem.

Donald Trump is the threat to the safety and security of the United States of America and its citizens. He has taken billions of dollars of defense resources that have taken years to accrue and use them to bomb a country that Obama negotiated peace deal with that was working fine.

Trump wants to eliminate mail and voting because he knows that it's the most secure voting form and it has an actual paper trail. That scares the shit out of him and it should motivate all Americans to voice their opinion that states decide elections at the national level.
