The other thing to bear in mind here is that the promise to pardon his whole administration, *specifically at this point over two and a half years before the next election*, is like a big flashing neon sign saying βI AM DIRECTING THEM ALL TO COMMIT CRIMES.β
If you find yourself asking why women don't come forward with allegations of sexual assault and harassment I need you to frame the question like this "why are women so unwilling to ruin their own lives?"
My craziest idea regarding elections is to take all the money out of it. No candidate should have more money than another. No more campaign commercials, only debates, interviews and town halls answering questions.
I don't think we should even know which party they affiliate with.
"Members of Congress take oaths of office in the same way that the President does. And if the President's not obeying his oath of office, the Constitution gives them the power, the obligation, & the duty to exercise their constitutional duty & obligation to impeach & remove the criminal president."
As a former prosecutor of sexual assault, I take these allegations very seriously. Survivors courageous enough to come forward deserve to be heard fully, without being smeared in the media by pundits or political hacks. Credible claims require a full investigation.
Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"
It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.
For people just catching up to the Amanda Ungaro / Paolo Zampolli story (she was an Epstein victim, then the mother of his child; he just had her deported by ICE), here's the bigger context: it was Zampolli who brought the Slovenian model Melania Knauss to the US and introduced her to Trump. 1/
This story is fucking insane: *A Trump crony pursued a teen model who flew to US on the Epstein plane *When the relationship went sour as he pursued other women, and she married someone else, the crony set ICE on her. *Now she is deported.
"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."
Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban.
The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.
The US is like that neighbor who thinks its ok to buy new cars, boats, ATVs, etc., but not ok to pay for piano lessons, braces, a new mattress, or anything else intangible. It really is ok to use tax revenue to pay for things besides war, war equipment, and bases everywhere in the world.
if a private company built an EMP that could destroy every computer system on the planet then demanded payments for protection, we'd call that racketeering, nationalize the company, and imprison the company leadership.
Had a thug with kratom eyes from a gang called ICE check my ID so I could get on an airplane about four hours ago. Iβm still mad hours later. This shouldnβt be a thing that happens. The agency needs to be dissolved the second power allows it. Even kratom eyes needs to hear the clank of a jail cell.
The world intelligence agencies have a two week window to leak the complete Epstein Files. Itβs actually a very prudent and economical act of national defense. We canβt keep letting him put us through this.
