BREAKING: In a devastating speech, iconic actor Robert De Niro rips Donald Trump to shreds, declaring that Trump is “not a bad man,” but “an evil one” who is a “wanna be tough guy” and has “no morals or ethics.”

But Robert De Niro didn’t stop there…

De Niro continued:

“Trump has no sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them.

The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination.  Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world.

We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags.

The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior.  That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse.

Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously.

So, today I issue another warning.

From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America:

This is our last chance.

Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator.

And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided.

So what do we do about it?  We have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls.   We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House.  They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice.  Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them.

Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect.  Let’s not talk about “democracy.” 

“Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it.  Let’s talk about right and wrong.  Let’s talk about humanity.  Let’s talk about kindness.  Security for our world.  Safety for our families.  Decency.  Let’s welcome them back.  We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump.”

Well said, Robert De Niro!

BREAKING: Trumper Senator Tommy Tuberville is humiliated as the Senate blows past his blockade and votes overwhelmingly to approve Air Force General C.Q. Brown to lead the Joint Chiefs, making him the second Black officer to lead the Military.

But it gets WORSE for Tuberville…

The vote was so overwhelming that reporters and experts now expect the Senate to also vote to confirm President Biden’s picks to lead the Army and Marines tomorrow.

Adding insult to injury for Tuberville, Politico reports that “even some Republican senators are now predicting action on a few top nominees could lead to talks that ultimately break the logjam” created by Tuberville, with even Republican Senate Armed Services ranking member Senator Roger Wicker agreeing.

Senate Majority Leader wasted no time putting Tuberville on notice after today’s vote, declaring, “In the end, the Senate will overwhelmingly vote to overcome Senator Tuberville’s blockade of these three nominees… and the abortion policy that Senator Tuberville abhors will remain in place.”

BREAKING NEWS: Rolling Stone drops bombshell on Trump, reveals that he has been demanding that his “close advisors” find out the “names of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who have worked on the federal probes into him” so that he can retaliate against them by “immediately purging the FBI and Justice Department’s ranks” of each and every single investigator who has investigated his deadly insurrection, Big Lie, and theft of highly classified documents.

But it gets worse.

Rolling Stone continues, “Separately, the twice-impeached former president has been saying for many months that on “day one” of his potential second term, he wants FBI director Christopher Wray “out” of the bureau” because he has refused to “purge the FBI of non-Trump loyalists.”

Rolling Stone continues, reporting that, “During some of the conversations this year, including at Trump’s Florida club Mar-a-Lago, some of Trump’s close political allies told him that they are working on figuring out the identities of the FBI and DOJ staff and forming lists.”

This should strike fear in the heart of every single American, who gives a damn about our struggling democracy.

BREAKING: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who ignored a House subpoena related to the January 6th investigation, has just said that he will lead an effort to hold FBI Director Wray in contempt for ignoring a House subpoena.

GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer also gave Wray until today to comply with the subpoena and warned him that his continued refusal would begin the contempt process.

Note that in addition to McCarthy ignoring subpoenas in the past, so too did the GOP Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan.

The Hypocrisy is just insane!

Do you feel Wray should be forced to testify about the alleged informant file which Republicans claim accused President Biden of being part of a bribery scheme?

BREAKING: Republican Liz Cheney releases a BRUTAL attack ad against Donald Trump, calling him a "a risk America can never take again" in a video that is sure to infuriate the disgraced former president.

She points out that he is the "only president in American history" to refuse the "peaceful transition of power" and he "betrayed millions of Americans" by spreading the Big Lie after Joe Biden defeated him in 2020.

He watched on television as his Capitol insurrection unfolded and refused to take action to call off his supporters.

"There has never been a greater dereliction of duty by any president," says Cheney.

Retweet if you think that she absolutely nailed it!

I think what’s happening is Musk is feeding right wing trash tweets to dems and feeding dem tweets to right wing trash to watch us fight. I’m no longer getting the curated feed I spent years creating. We all just need to mute the a-holes and keep truckin.
