I continue to sincerely want the term β€œKavanaugh Stop” to be a badge of shame for the rest of Brett Kavanaugh’s days; the only bit of writing he’s known or remembered for; his sole contribution to the Law; for him to perceive, in little stabs of self-awareness, that this will be his rancid legacy.

Republicans in NC are rigging the map against Congressman Don Davis because they can't beat him at the polls.

This isn't what we fought for. It's naked corruption.

I wonder how many of these jokers are DJT's Jan 6' 1600 folks?
Cause they sure do act like their 1st 'go to' is violence.

No signs of peace at all. Just terror and pain.

Everything they did on Jan 6, 2021. All 1600 of them. Same 1's DJT pardoned on Jan 20.

We have public servants who are working and not getting paid, and politicians in Washington who are getting paid, but not working.

President Trump can and must end this shutdown.

So, let me get this straight…

the #EastWing of the White House is just gone now?

Poof πŸ’¨ Gone 🫰
Just wiped off the face of the Earth?

And it’s never coming back?

Just like… it no longer exists?

Only past tense existence for the EAST WING OF THE FUCKING WHITE HOUSE?

Am I correct?
