Trump: They have a lion, a bear, a snake, and a camel. They say, which one is the snake? It's a very powerful test, very highly respected test. Very hard. I passed it all 3 times. I aced it

Two former South Carolina governors, Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges, have endorsed Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews in the state’s U.S. Senate race:
“We may have served as your governor from different political parties. But we agree South Carolina deserves better than more of the same political fighting”

When Charlie Kirk died, Trump and his sycophants demanded punishment for anybody who spoke ill of him. JD Vance told people to report folks to their employers. Federal agencies threatened discipline for employees who criticized Kirk by speaking, truthfully about his bigotry . Trump even escalated the climate of intimidation by threatening  that networks that criticized him too harshly could lose their licenses. 
Fast forward to Robert Mueller’s death, Trump said “Good I’m glad he’s dead.” That tells you everything you need to know.
They don’t want decency. They want obedience. They don’t oppose cruelty. They reserve cruelty for their enemies and demand sympathy for their friends. That is not principle. That’s hypocrisy. It’s despicable, shameless, vile, hypocritical, morally bankrupt, callous, authoritarian, inhumane, and utterly devoid of any ethical consistency.

I’m not sure there’s ever been a president more distant from the ideals of the Founders of the United States and the Framers of the Constitution—and more detached from the core American culture of liberty, individualism, and self-determination—than President Trump.

Good morning to everyone who thinks the President of the United States should know who he is pardoning.

Republicans are having a big, public argument about the antisemitism that has contaminated their party.
Democrats aren't.

Instead we have the absurd spectacle of police unions that endorsed Trump releasing statements deploring the thing he promised over and over again to do on the very first day of a restored presidency: pardon the supporters who attacked Congress to keep him in power. 8/x

Fifteen years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations & billionaires like Jeff Bezos & Elon Musk can spend infinite amounts in elections to buy influence.
Citizens United must be overturned so our democracy works for working Americans, not the 1%.

If you didn’t vote or voted third party and you’re shocked and upset at what Trump is doing, please know that you are part of the problem and deserve every horrible thing that’s coming to you.
