Don't have to expand the court if you remove an appointment that never should have been. If perjury during your hearing doesn't deserve impeachment from the Supreme Court. What does?

An ardent cop sympathizer who fought hard to make it easier for the government to take peoples property without due process. Yeah, the Bernie Bros are going to feast on her. Her record would run well in the Republican primary though, except for the disqualifying factor of her tan. She'll be part of the first purge when the Democrat Primary field shrinks from 75 to 15.

the idea of a women of color is cute and all and sure she is from california and yes we voted for her to get into the position she is in currently. BUT, I'm always leery of a prosecutor. always.

Turns out the maga kid’s statement was written by a PR guy hired by his family, who is a CNN contributor, and fed the statement through CNN. There’s now video surfacing of the boys harassing passing females, including prayerful remarks like, “it’s not rape if you enjoy it”.

When you think about it, aren’t both of those things about suppressing and demeaning women’s reproductive rights?

Was never about the wall

Trump should've been arrested LONG

I won't vote for anyone who does not seek to weaken the executive

No shutdown without cause

MAGA hat is similar to an SS symbol to me

I know it might be "profiling" but wearing that hat(e) says too much
for me to even expect calm peaceful honesty or compassion

***How can anyone forget the faces of the boys at his 10 o'clock
Shock.. jeers.. you can see it.. their expressions were reactions to what their perceived intent was of magaboy

I know many of the boys were just going with the flow and not hateful.. but they began to cheer it on and become more disgusting as their numbers grew

That came out almost immediately after his "statement", which is why all the "wait, not so fast . . ." articles trying to turn the MAGATS into victims was such nonsense. As someone said elsewhere, where is all the footage of the Covington Catholic students peacefully praying and modeling compassionate advocacy at the #MarchForLife rally? That's why they went there and supposedly what they spent hours doing—so there should be plenty of video, shouldn't there?

Instead, every piece of footage shows them being little (bleep). And the more that comes out, the (bleep) it looks.

No, they where there to cause trouble. They had no good intentions.

I don't see that happening unfortunately.

Harris raised $1.5M in the first 24 hours after her announcement. She's not going to be part of the first purges and probably goes down to the wire for the nomination, imo.

She has to make herself more a household name. She's already doing the morning shows. I hope she does and Trump did, use the social and news medias. She'll get my vote.

EDIT: Shes scheduled to be on with

Rachel Maddow, I think, tomorrow.

It should be. It was spin written for him by a top-notch POR firm - as has already been pointed out.

Further video and witness commentary has revealed these boys weren't the quiet, well meaning "victims" they claim to be.

I know OL pointed it out but I don't see where he posted the article. He also posted about the video. My post was bolstering his.

Not surprised the MAGA teen didn't apologize. If he was a person who valued remorse. He wouldn't have been wearing that hat in the first place.
