Injustice with a golf club? Gee I wonder who that could be? This sculpture being exhibited in the European Parliament. Is Natalie printing out adoring news to distract from this so she doesn't have to dodge all the flying ketchup?

Yesterday's performance by republicans questioning Jack Smith was stunning. Instead of lauding his efforts to bring Felon47 to justice they turned the tables doing everything they could to make Smith look like a criminal and in the process made themselves look like the gaslighting puppets they are.

Even if Felon47's ads are pulled because, you know, they're illegal, the thing is that they've already been aired, message sent, damage done. The felon's MO is that it's better to apologize than to ask permission. Wait, who are we kidding... he doesn't apologize EVER. #VoteBLUE2SaveDemocracy

From the minute Felon47 took office in 2016, "insiders" who had access to info were saying he wouldn't last a year. Newsletters by former gov't officials were saying he wouldn't last due to health, corruption, whatever and yet here we are. I won't read any newsletter that starts with "he's done".
