I predicted someone like Trump many years ago, in THE DEAD ZONE. So now I'm saying this--in the next 12-16 months, we're going to find out if the two machines for the removal of a man unable to fulfill his duties actually work. They are impeachment and the 25th amendment. He is deeply unwell .
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
Robert Mueller served his country honorably for decades. In response to his death, Donald wrote:
"Good. I'm glad he's dead."
If you think that's acceptable or even remotely ok, you are part of the problem.
Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.
This debate reminds me of the final court room scene in a Few Good Men, with @KamalaHarris in the Tom Cruise role as the prosecutor and Trump Jack Nicholson's Colonel Jessup, who loses it in the end.
"You can't handle the truth!"
Here is non-breaking news: Jon Stewart is brilliant! He uses humor as a rapier to cut to the heart of hypocrisy and folly and raise serious issues. Last night was another great example.
Two huge wins by Biden today that the corporate media will bury, while reporting every one of Donald's in-court gestures and out-of-court lies:
1. Biden just secured BILLIONS of dollars for workers. He's guaranteeing they get time-and-a-half for overtime worked – anyone who makes less than $58,656 a year. That's up from the current threshold of $35,568.
2. In a stunning development, the FTC just voted to ban non-compete agreements in contracts. That takes the handcuffs off of 18% of the work force – 30 MILLION people – including workers banned from leaving one fast food chain to work for another.
Donald could not have gotten this done. He didn't even try.
