Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Rejecting AI regulation, Trump posted that the only oversight needed is "a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT." How sad and dangerous that America is being held hostage by this moron.

Same. It still blows my mind that people I thought I knew, some for my entire life, are so catastrophically ignorant and stupid. It's enough to make you question if you ever know people at all.

Just imagine if a President of the United States was an asset for Russia. Now imagine that President bankrupts and steals from the country to give to oligarch’s. And at the same time, completely depletes the military. This is “just if” of course.

Everything coming out of the White House is propaganda. Think on that for a moment: everything that every American citizen is being told by this administration…is a lie….told for the purpose of manipulating a big part of the nation into grinning…while their pockets are being picked.

Put a sociopath in the White House and he’ll not think twice about using his own staff and other humans as decoys/potential collateral damage when he learns that HIS safety could be at risk if he flies on the ill-equipped Qatari bribe/lux AIr Force One. Not surprising, but utterly disgusting.

I once was finishing a PhD in History, hoping for a tenure-track position later, when I was asked to sit on a faculty search committee. Looking for an assistant professor, not a newly minted PhD, salary we were offering was $27,500. Unbelievable. Opened my eyes, broke my heart. I gave it up.

The so-called president of the United States is a massive money launderer and cut off by the bank that discovered it. Yet the story barely registers with the legacy media. What a disgrace.

Dr. Fauci is a hero. He really is. He helped guide America thru a mass death event. Millions more could have died but they did not, thanks to him. Everyone over 70 owes him a debt. It is disgusting that we live in a country that not only dishonors him but actively smears his good name.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!
An image of a list of the 27 grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 20 of them in whole or in part, condensed into the list below:
1.	He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
2.	He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation …
3.	He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing … his invasions on the rights of the people.
4.	He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; … obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners …
5.	He has obstructed the Administration of Justice …
6.	He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices …
7.	He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
8.	He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
9.	He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
10.	He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution … giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
11.	For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
12.	For protecting them … from punishment for any Murders which they should commit …
13.	For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
14.	For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
15.	For depriving us … of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
16.	For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
17.	For … abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
18.	He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
19.	He has … destroyed the lives of our people.
20.	He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us …
