Scary that a VP would say “get the hell out of here. You don’t belong in America” to someone with roots going back generations. Esp scary given that last time GOP’s mantra was “love it or leave it,” it wasn’t having people kidnapped off the street & shipped to countries that use prison & slave labor

Infuriating Trump paid no price for this, thanks to an unqualified judge he appointed at 11th hour to grind justice to a halt, msm owned by Trump donors who forbade investigation & skewed coverage, a multi-billionaire lunatic with thumbs on the scales, and a GOP so drunk on power it embraced treason

Blackburn’s suit is SO dumb. Her complaint claims investigation was “codenamed 'Arctic Frost,' which is a type of orange and was chosen to mock Trump's complexion…as the vehicle for Defendant Smith to exercise his unauthorized powers.” Except FBI opened ‘Arctic Frost’ BEFORE Garland appointed Smith.

They were ordered “to probe whether US intelligence and law enforcement officials, including former President Barack Obama's CIA Director John Brennan, were part of a years-long plot against Donald Trump.” I’m surprised they stuck with it this long. Don’t they have chemtrails to investigate? 🙄

He doesn’t even have to bother pretending the law matters more than his foolish ideas & atrocious taste. His SCOTUS cronies (who are also his state dinner guests and recipients of lavish gifts from his donors) ruled he can ignore laws and paralyze or gut the institutions that enforce them.

I can’t think of anything Trump’s done to benefit any but the rich and/or powerful. But it’d take hours to list ways he’s hurt the rest of us and ways he’s gutted institutions that help or protect us. And the harm to due process, 1st Am, separation of powers, climate, world standing is incalculable.

Photo memories tells me I took this pic 7 years ago. The bumpersticker was taped to my garage window, facing outward, till Trump lost the next election. Then, with great happiness and relief, I threw it away. I wish I'd kept it. I wish I didn't have to wish I'd kept it.

Maybe this will make CNN and MSNOW less milquetoast? I'm afraid to hope, since so far, Trump's donor-owned media has responded to bullying by becoming more obsequious. But new polls show the public's caught on without them, and sitting on the truth is costing them viewers and $$.

Trump must know 40+ nations including Canada, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, UK have mail-in voting. He calls it a "Nation Destroying SCAM" while urging red states to drastically cut polling places in Black districts--as TX, GA, AZ, MS did--hoping Dems won't stand in line all day to vote.
