Now would be a great time for democrats to themselves invite election monitors and force Trump to stand by refusing to do so. Make this a big thing NOW before the election happens. He'll almost certainly have to back down, and if he doesn't, it's clear why.

I know this guy is an arsehole and it annoys me how he has benefited more than anyone in Ireland from the boycotts on better-known fast food outlets. But I'm genuinely surprised that he doesn't see the Burke saga from an employer's perspective.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

The Fourteenth Amendment, written in the blood of the Civil War, says in Section 4 that this is blatantly illegal: “[N]either the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.”

The US is an unreliable and deceitful ally now, and is doing its best to help Putin’s dictatorship commit unspeakable war crimes against a European democracy. It is a good thing if the US pulls out of Europe and stops pretending.

Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Al Gore: “This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Now that we’re embroiled in war with Iran, it’s time we check in on this again. Name one thing Trump has done that was not beneficial to Putin.

interfering in foreign elections. Where is Vance?

U.S. President Donald Trump promised to give economic support to Hungary if needed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, reiterating his backing for the Hungarian leader just hours ahead of a crucial election in the country.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.
