Psychopaths think if they call a crime something it isn't, that makes it legal. Calling, -war an excursion means no need 4 Congressional approval -a $5k bribe 4 votes a Trump Dividend makes it OK. -campaign ads public service announcement makes stealing TAXPAYER $ OK

Irresponsibly running up the National Debt with tax cuts 4 Billionaires isn't conservative. It's a fascist plan 2 concentrate wealth & power in the hands of a few people who feel entitled 2 everything. The Nat Debt interest now is more than our military budget. #DV1 #DemsUnited

If you were a fascist lacky, with VP aspirations, & a brilliant prosecutor says he has proof beyond a reasonable doubt your wannabe tyrant is guilty of treasonous crimes, what would you do? You'd do what Sen Schmitt did. You'd try 2 kill the prosecutor's credibility. #DemsUnited #DV1

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Fascism and Communism have a lot in common. Both are single party systems that control the news media to avoid being held accountable for corruption and cruel injustices. In a democracy, the press & opposition parties help keep those in power honest. #DV #DemsUnited

As Todd Blanche’s nomination languishes, and Trump threatens a withdrawal, one thing seems obvious: The White House could simply do the right thing on the slush fund and IRS audit immunity, satisfying Republicans like Cornyn and Tillis, but it clearly doesn’t want to. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

As Blanche struggles, Trump opens the door to ‘temporarily withdrawing’ his nomination
The GOP plan was to advance the attorney general nominee ahead of the Senate’s upcoming recess. That plan, at least for now, lies in tatters.

Trump just said the quiet part out loud. If the Senate won’t confirm Todd Blanche, he’ll keep him as “acting” AG until the senators blocking him are gone then try again. That’s not how democracy works. That’s how authoritarianism works. #USDemocracy apple.news/AfzmUyhBRQE6...
