do people understand that Alito's definitely going to retire within Trump's term and that's why the Senate is important? these people were alive in 2016, right? do they want Trump to appoint another goddamn Kavanaugh so things get worse, and if they do not want that, why are they acting like they do

Donald Trump is a Russian asset who is just fine with US troops being targeted and murdered by Russia and Iran as long as he gets what he wants. On Sunday, America’s rapist/Russian asset President said so.

This election is a referendum on the power of lies. Will lies that deny corruption and assure us we are living in a golden age overcome the reality that most Americans face? Or will we rise against a dangerous oligarchy that virtually rules American politics under this administration?

What’s the point of a president swearing to uphold the Constitution if the Supreme Court grants them immunity for violating it through official acts?🇺🇸

Friends, Sad news! Our dear friend #MajorJasonWatson will face a historic general court-martial, the military's most severe trial! He remains in pretrial confinement. His attorney told @cnn.com the conditions amount to "cruel and unusual" solitary confinement. Want to help? Keep posting about him!

Trump did this to us in less than 2 years and not a single Republican objected or stood in his way. Republicans want your vote so they can spend another 2 years not objecting or stopping their Dear Leader from destroying the Nation. I can't afford another 2 years of this Republican 💩 show, can you?

If Republicans had any actual integrity, they would be hoping for a blue wave in the midterm to contain the damage they have allowed Trump to do.

The one inescapable fact that should rule voting in our next election is that Republicans at every level of government supported everything Trump has done to crash our economy, ruin our international reputation and enrich himself and his cronies.

WOW! THIS SHOULD GO VIRAL! Every word is truth. His memory and understanding of current USA politics is remarkable. Sadly, daft, Fox indoctrinated MAGA Cult Sheeple are too brainwashed & conditioned by Trump’s fascist fear, hate, lies, slander, division, xenophobia, otherness, Red Scare, to know it!

TRUMP HAS COMMITTED ALL THESE IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES NUMEROUS TIMES!! Yet the corrupt, pseudo-“Christian”, Big Coal & Oil owned, anti-Climate Science, Post-Truth, GOP Republicans who 100% control the House & Senate REFUSE TO IMPEACH CRIMINAL FASCIST PEDOPHILE TRAITOR TRUMP! VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS!

The House voted to condemn “socialism” earlier this week. Listen, I’ve been in and around politics for over 50 years. I grew up during McCarthyism and the “red Scare” of the 1950s. I’ve seen all of this fear-mongering before. Here’s what’s really going on.
