Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

I do not want to ever hear another US person call the French cowardly. They would have taken out the guillotine and burnt Paris to the ground by now.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

This feels similar to the extortion of Ukraine asking for dirt on Biden in exchange for releasing aid already approved by Congress.

So Trumped up charges & illegal kidnapping of a president which they will drop for fabricated dirt on Democrats.

Whats even crazier is that testimony happened in 2019 before their full scale invasion in 2022.

I'm a firm believer that enough individuals in the regime want to create the technate of america, but a perverted version.

I've said this before and I'll say it again.
It would only take a tiny handful of Republican Congress members or senators to stop the slide of America toward authoritarian fascism, but nope. They're all in.

i can't stop thinking about how the US's stance is that the US can prosecute foreign Presidents for crimes allegedly committed in the US, but that the ICC and UN cannot do so, and also that the US cannot prosecute *its own President* for crimes committed in the US
