Alrighty then! Maine's FEMALE governor has more balls than the male ones.

They need to take note.

You may not be paying attention to this story,

but a white police officer was caught on camera tampering with a witness and other evidence for the express purpose of framing LSU football player Kyren Lacy for a vehicular manslaughter he had NOTHING to do with.

Kyren took his own life in April.

There is no supreme court any more.

They just sit and wait for PAEDOPHILE 47 to throw his toys out of the pram, then do his biding.

The oath they took has been discarded.

No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

The most racist man.

When in government, he ordered the removal of children's pictures from the walls of an asylum centre he was visiting, saying he didn't want the children to feel too comfortable.

Most I'd say. They make up his special league. When he wants trouble to start somewhere in order to justify him sending in the military, he sends them in first, to cause bad trouble.
Make no mistake. This man is evil.

She should have pushed back when he said the democrats had voted against opening the house. This is a lie.
She is allowing people to believe a lie. She has a responsibility to say it like it is.
God. No wonder the republicans get away with so much.

Spineless interviewers.

This is the hand of evil.
Who do we know who are evil?
Let me see, mmmmm.

Well, Paedophile 47 is evil. He is unable to be anything else.

Then there's the DOJ. The most corrupt DOJ of any country.

That leaves the GOP. Evil for being complicit

All took the oath. NONE pay attention to it

He did it
