Putin cannot defeat or destroy NATO.

But Trump can tear it apart for him.

And he will.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

If the unredacted Epstein Files exonerated Donald J. Trump, we wouldn't still be waiting for them.

No. They don't need 60 votes. They can change that rule with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to advance 48 trump nominees at once. bsky.app/profile/muel...

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

"If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me." -- AUSA Hagan Scotten, SDNY.

IF ICE AGENTS SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR
1. You do not have to open the door. If you do, stay calm-you have rights.
2. Ask what they are there for (and ask for an interpreter if you need one).
3. If they ask to enter, ask if they have a warrant signed by a judge and if so, ask to see it (through a window or slipped under the door).
4. If they do not have a warrant signed by a judge, you may refuse to let them in. Ask them to leave any information at your door.
5. If they force their way in, do not resist. Tell everyone in the residence to remain silent.
6. If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent. Do not sign anything until you speak with a lawyer.

HELL YES:

Michael Steele delivers a genius game-plan to absolutely DERAIL the GOP.

Democrats need to STOP helping Republicans. β€œLet them choke on (their majority).”

His words were BLUNT:

β€œY'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap.” He added.
