It's amazing watching the consternation by MAGA over why we can't just "get behind" the President who has called us communists, fascists, traitors, demons, and evil, while dehumanizing brown people, black people, transgender people, women, liberals, and immigrants, and who literally tried to overthrow the country, insisting that we didn't vote for whom we did vote for, who has insulted our allies while embracing our enemies, who has used the White House as his own personal cash machine, who has sold pardons to cartel leaders and those who launered money for them, who has cheered on genocide and threatened it, who has committed and defended war crimes, the murder of American citizens, the illegal detainment of them, and who has made the entire celebration of America's 250th birthday about himself.
Gee! It's such a puzzle.
Weeks ago, I spoke directly with Major Jason Watson regarding his planned act of civil disobedience.
What I do not hear enough people discussing is the broader constitutional strategy behind his message. I know this because I asked him directly about his motivate, and I think it is important that people understand what he was actually trying to communicate.
The sign he carried, “Impeach. Convict. Remove.”, was not solely about Donald Trump.
His argument extends to the entire executive branch.
In his view, if Democrats regain control of the House, Congress should use the constitutional mechanisms already available to impeach, convict, and remove both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. Under the line of succession, that would elevate a Democratic Speaker of the House to the presidency.
So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Karoline Leavitt went to an expensive private high school, then worked in the White House immediately out of college, then married a billionaire her daddy's age. What kind of spoon is that?
So let me get this straight. Natalie Harp, Trump’s companion majored in psychiatric sciences and she has now been assigned to stay at Trumps’s side at the request of Stephen Miller to control the potus and entertain him by soothing his ego & keep him out of the Oval Office so the administration staff can run the country while Trump’s dementia progresses; is that accurate? And it’s reported that Miller is coordinating Trump and is apparently only being spotlighted in executive orders otherwise he is mentally unfit and embarrassing Stephen Miller consistently. Holy cow; what a mess. Miller is apparently making all decisions for Trump during his ongoing incapacitation. He has been losing his cognitive abilities progressively for nearly a year so Miller had to step in. Natalie Harp is the acting “handler” keeping Trump’s ego pumped up while controlling his engagement in presidential matters? Miller is said to have directed her to keep him happy; what exactly does that mean? Meanwhile Melania is in hiding. Why is the WH covering up Trump’s decline & mental illness?
An active-duty U.S. Air Force Major stood on the Capitol steps holding a sign that read:
“Impeach. Convict. Remove.”
No violence. No property damage. Just a public call for Congress to exercise one of its constitutional powers.
He was arrested.
Whether you agree with his message or not, ask yourself:
Is this how a democracy should respond to peaceful political protest?
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
To Olympian David Hearn’s legal team: I took the following photos and videos of the Reflecting Pool on June 19th - same day that Hearn was arrested - and I saw that the pool sealant/liner was already peeling in multiple places.
I’d be willing to testify.
I don't believe people outside of the military understand how significant this is. He is willing to lose his entire future over this. That's bravery like we haven't seen in a long time.

Right-wing Kentucky church acts out the killing of Satan while children chant I think “Take him out blow him up” before members pretend to shoot him with assault rifles.
If a mass shooter comes into their church these folks will think it's play-acting.
The people screaming about indoctrinating children are indoctrinating children.
WTF Kentucky? #DemsUnited
The level of corruption we are witnessing from the Trump family and Administration is simply unmatched in history. The self dealing, diversion of taxpayer money, and outrageous use of family members to serve as unofficial diplomats is illegal and being completely ignored by this cowardly Republican Congress.
Mary Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: if you’re running as a Democrat and you’re not serious about bold Supreme Court reform, don’t waste our time. This Court has shredded voting rights, protected corruption, and handed presidents sweeping immunity—and our democracy won’t survive more “reform around the edges.”
Elon challenged everyone to name someone who was killed by his DOGE cuts to USAID. Nicholas Kristof, who did the study, accepted the challenge.
Instead of explaining why Kristof was incorrect, he responded with personal abuse.
He is clearly rattled.
