If this is true, and I really hope that it is, this coalition needs to have a very clear list of priorities that not only sweep away the corrupt mess this administration has left, but also puts safeguards into place that prevent future would-be dictators from getting as far as Trump has.

Big news: Donald Trump has spent the past 18 months misappropriating taxpayer dollars for personal gain. I'm not just a journalist. I am also a lawyer. I map out exactly all the ways Trump misused taxpayer funds, and how a future prosecutor, or a future Congress could investigate him. Subscribe:

A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
