What really infuriates me is the legal system that tolerates this bullshit. It just erodes any confidence that justice prevails. If you have enough lawyers, you can get away with anything.

NEW: Trump moves, in the Second Circuit, for an immediate, administrative stay of the order directing disbursement of funds to E. Jean Carroll. He's asking for an administrative stay so the court can consider his as-yet-unfiled motion for a stay pending appeal. 1/

There's some very weird, strange and dangerous sh*t going on in America. A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president.

Democrats, this election is a referendum on Trump - keep it there.

This isn’t complicated.

I’ll decode this one.

Trump: I’m racist.

[Angel Jones, PhD @AngelJonesPhD]

Miss me with the “it’s a joke.” It’s racist. And so is he.

Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.

The US loves to boast about how wealthy it is, but its wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few oligarchs.

US oligarchs are so insanely rich that they make average wealth seem very high.

But *median* wealth in the US is lower than in Slovenia & Portugal, and half of Italy's

Tell it, Karolyin’! She’s the Christian Conservative role model for aspiring young women: find a millionaire at least 3 decades older than yourself, get knocked up, have a child out of wedlock, then get married, and find a job telling lies that would make Baghdad Bob blush. Oh! And wear a cross necklace regularly so that people can see you’re a Christian because they’d never suspect it from your conduct.

Trump's DOJ had a court order to release the remaining Epstein files and simply refused. That should be a much bigger story right now.

The Trump play book.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

I didn’t recite “with liberty and justice for all” every day as a kid just to be called a woke libtard for wanting liberty and justice for ALL as an adult. Some of you clearly weren’t listening.

Happy Fourth.

Ransack the U.S. Capitol? Pardoned. Pick up a chunk of floating paint chips in the reflecting pool? Felony.
This country is ridiculous right now.

Our government is being run by the dumbest people on Earth.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

Liz Oyer, former Pardon Attorney, describes how Todd Blanche fired her when she refused to do a dangerous official favor for Trump friend Mel Gibson. The actor lost his federal firearm rights after committing domestic violence. Gibson assaulted his girlfriend while she was holding their baby daughter, smashing her in the mouth, breaking her teeth, threatening her with his gun. Gibson asked Trump’s DOJ to reinstate his federal firearm rights despite his criminal conviction. Although Blanche had the power to do it on his own, he tried to force Oyer to give her stamp of approval. Not convinced of Gibson’s rehabilitation or his lack of dangerousness, and knowing that over half of women murdered in the United States are killed by a current or past intimate partner, and the presence of firearms in an abusive household increases the risk of murder by 500%, Oyer refused to have anything to do with Blanche’s dangerous and unethical suggestion. Blanche sacked her.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

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!
