“When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it – always.” —M.K. Gandhi
“The next president must say on day one: We’re tearing down this arch; we’re razing Trump’s ballroom…Washington ceremonial architecture must be returned to the purpose for which it exists—to promote democracy, not the demented ego of one sick man.”

Three quick thoughts:
(1) Has any president of this country — or for that matter, any leader of a liberal democracy — ever threatened the destruction of a “whole civilization” before?
(2) The line between the so-called “madman theory” and an actual madman is quite thin, isn’t it?
(3) It really was a bad idea to entrust this man with the nuclear button, wasn’t it?

An American president just warned that a “whole civilization will die tonight”.
This twisted threat should be met with universal condemnation in Washington. That it will only raise a few eyebrows among Republicans shows how dangerous this crisis is becoming.
An American president threatening the death of an ancient civilization is in some ways the end of the 250-year moral experiment of a constitutional republic that the framers saw as a model for all mankind.
"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust."

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
Well, it turns out a vote for Donald Trump was a vote to start wars not end them. No president in modern history has ordered more military attacks against as many nations as Trump. And now he's started a war in the Middle East, the exact thing he campaigned against.
Serious question for @AGPamBondi. Rather than address the victims yesterday, you screamed at members of Congress about crimes that happened in their districts. You blamed them. With that, you were the Florida AG during the Parkland shooting when Jaime was murdered. Trump was President. DeSantis was Governor. Based upon your performance yesterday, should I blame all 3 of you for my daughter Jaime's murder or only you?
Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?
And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.
"We don’t face a formidable foe of the sort Lincoln imagined. We have been unable to defeat the designs of a second-rate demagogue and grifter, aided by third-rate bigots and authoritarians, and surrounded by fourth-rate opportunists and conspiracists."

Trump says he’s closing the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations, as if everyone can’t see he’s trying to hide yet another abject failure resulting from him seizing control.
It’s hard to believe one lawless man—enabled by an entire party—can cause so much stress and fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, should be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen now.
“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.”
