Another approach: Q: Is Donald Trump eligible to be President? A: Yes Q: What is the first clause of the 22nd Amendment? A: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” Q: President Trump ran for President in 2016, 2020, & 2024. Which of those elections did he win?

BLUMENTHAL: Who won the 2020 election? TRAYNOR: This issue has become a question of political controversy B: It's 'political controversy' only because Trump refuses to accept the results T: It is not appropriate to engage in discussion regarding that B: So you're going to use the same script

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

Trump has granted nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz a full pardon after he was sentenced to prison for diverting millions owed to his employees while paying himself $5 million as a 'ghost employee.' This full pardon comes after his payment of $1 million to Trump lobbyists.

It’s such a laughably bad argument for the war on Iran to say “The people there want regime change.” I want regime change in the US, and I 100% do not want the US to be bombed. F off with garbage arguments.

Monstrous racist. Still astounds me, even after more than ten years of relentless repetition. Just the worst person imaginable to be president.

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

Trump voted in the race via mail, despite criticizing the practice as cheating. Trump has long attacked voting by mail, arguing it creates fraud in elections. He still voted by mail although he was recently in Palm Beach, where early in-person voting was under way until Sunday.

The best chance for Congress to close the well-known loophole around the 4th Amendment that allows for governmental snooping is coming up in just a few weeks...Congress is expected to take up re-authorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, set to expire on April 20.
