If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and itβs parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

Bullies thrive around cowardice and man do we have a surplus of cowards.
I suggest that Sarah Kendzior's books are a must read.
These 10 articles are a good introduction.

Merrick Garland, Jamie Gorelick, and the truth.
Merrick Garland was never going to do what needed to be done.
