Trump Isn’t Even Trying Anymore Trump celebrated America's "golden age" — one filled with brutal and violent death around every corner.

Trump is leading a national effort at suicide.

Normally the US president does not make himself totally for sale and so easily bribable, by Putin, by Middle East sheiks, by fossil fuel companies, by bridge owners, by billionaires, by criminals seeking pardons

Another reason why democratic governments generally have protections against nepotism

Easy to see why even President Man Baby would not want his MAGA cult to know he was credibly accused of raping a child and then covering it up

Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews | CNN Three interviews related to a woman who accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her decades ago appear to be among the missing files in the DOJ release.

This is the biggest high level coverup since Watergate. There is testimony given to the FBI - but concealed from the public - that Donald Trump raped a child

The Republican Party is the political arm of an American fascist movement. If they succeed in stealing the midterms, then we lose our democracy for many years, maybe even decades.

Just 32% of Americans say Trump has right priorities, new poll finds, ahead of State of the Union speech – live CNN poll reveals Trump’s approval among independents at 26%; White House press secretary says speech to focus on US’s 250th anniversary and affordability concerns

Just two dozen Republicans in Congress (4 in the House, 20 in the Senate) would be enough to Impeach and Convict Trump, removing him from office. But there is not one single Republican who would is willing to even try to save the US from Trump's destructive dictatorship. So, on to collapse
