Thomas secretly accepted gifts from a GOP megadonor and his wife was involved in Jan 6.

Alito flew not one, but two insurrectionist flags.

The list goes on.

When Trump openly and repeatedly exclaims that migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country,” or shares a video calling for a “unified Reich,” he is literally echoing the language of Hitler.

Trump is not a “populist.” He’s not a “strongman.” He is a fascist.

Use the word.

The thing about these poll is they don't straight up ask you who you're voting for. They ask a bunch of emotionally charged questions about how you feel.

I may hate the DNC & think Biden is too old, but I understand Game Theory & I'm not voting for a .

Polls have been garbage since 2020.

while there are questions about what jurisdiction they have over state-level investigations.

This is false . The lawyers that you should have spoken with about this would have told you that this is settled law & the answer is "very little".

The has already made it clear that Congressional whatevers are now optional.

They are going to get hit with State Obstruction of Justice charges, though. Bet.
