Today's testimony should be a game changer

This is just before the 4th of July weekend. We get time to think about the ideals this country was founded on (and which are being tattered right now by the SCOTUS) and the fact that a former president staged a coup to steal an election, wanted his VP dead, assaulted a SS agent, throws things against the wall in temper tantrums, etc.

And I don't think this is the peak.

But we get to think about the 4th of July and THIS WHOLLY incompetent, criminal unfit, insane motherfucker. What a fucking contrast.

Let's not leave it to chance, though. Get out there and talk up what a spoiled toddler the former guy is. If someone gives you "hearsay," the response is, "If you know better, go before the committee and tell your story under oath. Until then, I'll take the sworn testimony of the eye witness."

9. I'd rather not compare Trump to a spoiled toddler, that only infantilizes what he did.

He's the fucking President of the United States. He knowingly incited an angry, armed mob to overturn the election and kill members of Congress. Toddlers don't do that, only violent, vicious despots.

But you know they'll attack the messenger. Especially because she's female.
