Reflecting on it, Musk getting into government and making a beeline straight for USAID is one of the most depraved acts in human history. A relatively small department with a relatively small budget but mostly focused on saving the lives of Africans. It’s the first thing he destroyed!

This starts with her aggressively trying to link him to the Muslim Brotherhood. I'd like to see someone turn the tables on this. "You're Christian, right? Did you support Timothy McVeigh? Did you agree with Dylann Roof? Or Eric Rudolph? Robert Lewis Dear? No? Even though you share their religion?"

How about we act on the moral imperative that is impeaching him while simultaneously passing ethics reform? This guy sucks so bad.

The press has been beaten into submission by (false) allegations of bias from the right for this very purpose. The press shouldn’t only be pointing this pattern out, but they should be dissecting WHY it’s so much more prominent on the right.

There is an obvious justification to impeach with both public hearings and trials. It’s not a political one. It’s the reorienting of the nation’s moral compass and creating a public record. Conviction is not the point. Having the GOP OWN the corruption, lawlessness and immorality is a bonus.

Prosecutors looking at the same defendant do, in fact, coordinate sometimes to avoid stepping on each other’s toes. There wouldn’t be a gotcha here even if Schmitt hadn’t comically bungled the facts.

Again, we can debate what we call the regime under which we now live. But it's not "democracy," there's no such thing as "free & fair elections" where this is allowed, & a constitutional order in which these things keep happening & they do not end a presidency is not really a "republic" of laws.

Last week, an attendee at the Republican Convention repeatedly shouted that Democratic candidates should be shot and not one person at the convention said “no”. Not even the U.S Senator who was speaking at the time, who very clearly heard what was being shouted.
