I am beyond heartsick for Nancy, her hubby, their family, & our nation. I keep thinking of my dad at 82...

Ya think it might be "good for the nation" now to lock tfg & all ruskie assets up & keep them behind bars?

Just sickening!

Nothing has changed and it will get worse.

Right the DOJ must think all of this is perfectly fine.
When they do catch some one, it is a slap on the wrist.

So it is open season on Dems. Oh and kids sitting in school.

Let's see if they charge him with attempted assassination & whether this will prompt the arrest of tfg & other ruskie assets in our govt!

Our laws, always written with lots of wiggle room in the form of loopholes, and political system are based on a presumption of integrity & civility.

Qpukes don't fit.

So ironic.

Yes we are learning the hard way that our way of life was based upon honor, integrity and good faith interaction.
That is all that held us together.

When that is gone, the whole system falls apart.

The Qpukes think the good guys don't fit.

And we know there are plenty of them. Look at all the soulless half wits who represent tfg.

But there are, no doubt, smart ones, too.

Btw, why wasn't that male Congressman immediately investigated when the former speaker made that comment about him being on pootin's payroll?

Inconvenient, I suppose. But they love to compile dossiers on climate & civil rights activists?.

GOP criminals get a pass on their crimes.

But Dems who do the jobs they were paid to do for our country have a target on their backs.
