Trump's Is an Incompetent Crook – and That Makes it Worse
The mess we’re in didn’t start with IMPOTUS. The GOP and the 1% have been working for years to turn our democracy into an oligarchy where the rule of law is at best a platitude that they pay lip service to. Their plan has always been to keep the Republican party in power and keep…
Trump's Doral resort was added as finalist for G7 at the last minute

OMG…Did he do what I think he did? Did he just ask China and Ukraine to meddle in our elections?
I think I just heard the orange man just blow his last working brain cell if he is wanting to avoid impeachment. I think I just heard him ask Ukraine and China to investigate Biden. He just tore up the rule of law on camera and stomped the constitution. He said we have great power…
DeSantis has become the most corrupt governor in the U.S., and is desperate to save Trump

DeSantis insists that he backs Trump “100%” and has a “duty to protect…
