During the Super Bowl “the 30-second ad [supporting conspiracy-theorist Robert Kennedy Jr] was paid for by a super PAC called American Values 2024, which supports Kennedy's candidacy. American Values 2024 is largely funded by pro-TRUMP megadonor Timothy Mellon, whose self-published autobiography was reportedly littered with RACIAL stereotypes.” - MSNBC
White racist billionaires smelling Trump victory in November…
A reminder that ratified treaties are *the law* and a refusal to carry out a treaty obligation is a violation of law.
The North Atlantic Treaty was ratified on July 21, 1949, and has been part of U.S. law ever since.
If a presidential candidate were to indicate an intention or desire to unilaterally abrogate the treaty or fail to abide by it, it is the same as if he were to indicate his intention to commit assault or rob a bank.
Wow - the hits just keep on coming for TFG. His star witness just admitted to perjury in the Engoron case.

You got a guy who attacks our allies, found to be a rapist, praises our enemies, led an insurrection, told us a to inject bleach, added 8T in debt, ran every company he led into bankruptcy before he held office, is tape bragging about molesting women, was pals with Epstein, met his third wife at the Kit Kat Club, brags about taking cognitive exams, spread 9/11 conspiracies, posted over 600 QAnon memes in the past 18 months, and the media just treats this like this is normal?

Just tired of the GOP's basic tactics:
GOP Breaks it, points fingers at Dems for not fixing it.
GOP posits speculation and conjecture, demands Dems prove them wrong.
Of course, the Dems do it. Every freakin' time.
Same with personal interactions.
It's exhausting.

The House GOP is at the border, clutching their pearls and bemoaning its state...
After voting against multiple border security funding and personnel bills. Notably, they apparently do not understand the role of the HOUSE in ORIGINATING funding bills.
Or, based on their total production of legislation, they think actually legislating is secondary (or optional) to whining like a bunch of little bitches.
The normalization of Trump as a candidate for this nation's office is a rerun from past elections. I just cancelled my Washington Post subscription due to another puff piece written to discourage voters from taking part in this country's most important election ever. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
