I was just (kinda) joking when I said Vance would try to marry Erika Kirk and dump Usha to become President.

Apparently...

Opinion | In Trumpโ€™s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? (Gift Article) Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

When itโ€™s all in a list of โ€œmoving toward autocracyโ€ indicators, itโ€™s super bad. Now if only these newsrooms would match their reporting to the dangers of the list accordingly

Sen. Lujรกn: There has never been a moment in America's history that food programs have lapsed. When Republicans say there's not enough money, Trump is shaking down the Department of Justice for $230 million for him. He bought Kristi Noem two jets for $180 million, sent $40 billion to Argentina

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
โ€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the worldโ€™s largest oil reserves.โ€

Fentanyl and coke are the new โ€œweapons of mass destructionโ€ lie. Itโ€™s Iraq all over again, folks. Itโ€™s always about controlling the oil.

The disappearance of Americaโ€™s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders weโ€™ve been waiting for.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. 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."
