The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

The problem? No federal official can seize control of election administration from the states and counties, who hold the power run elections under the U.S. Constitution.

Dennis Hastert was the 6th longest-serving speaker in history, & the longest serving Republican. In 2016, he was sentenced to 15 months for financial offenses related to the sexual abuse of boys. He admitted to the abuse at a hearing, but he was never convicted of any sexual crimes. GOP hall-o-famer

There's a rumor that the 45/47 regime in control of the Kennedy Center, is selling off the Steinway pianos. However, the pianos are there as a promotion by Steinway, who still owns them. Steinway and Co. are removing them from the center, (I would too), rather than risk SOMETHING happening to them.
