I’m guessing Abbott vetoed this from his wheelchair?

Same as Clarence Thomas looking to repeal interracial marriage, Lindsey Graham attacking same-sex marriage, and Dubya attacking education. Hate and self owns.

What an asinine headline

Who cares how much the investigation costs?

Not doing the investigation will cost us our democracy

Trump’s golf trips have already cost the American taxpayer over $144,000,000.00
His 31 trips to Mar-a-Lago cost $60,138,000
And to Bedminster $23,515,000

Lock that douche bag up with his golf pants half down 🇺🇸

“To see the full scale of Donald Trump’s betrayal of his country, it is necessary to start with this reality. He kept intelligence documents because, at some point, those secrets could be used in a transaction. What he was stockpiling were the materials of treason.”

@JamesGleick. Right. That's why this comment of strikes me as wrong: "For this man to go to jail for potentially a long time for something so pointless and silly and useless as keeping these documents, it's kind of fitting." It wasn't pointless or silly or useless. He was going to use them transactionally (perhaps he already has) and make lots and lots of money.

It's hard to know where to begin my critique of this nauseating statement by Peter Baker of the . Wait, maybe with the complicity of the ? Or maybe the words, "the same issue," which creates a homology where this isn't one.
"Trump assailed Hillary Clinton for her handling of sensitive information. Now, the same issue threatens his chances of reclaiming the presidency."

    “The chyron was taken down immediately and was addressed.” Sure, after it fulfilled its desired effect...

    Fox News knows full well who the "wannabe dictator" is, which is why they're taking the Karl Rovian tactic of accusing their opponent of what they're already doing.

    I know ignoring Fox News is a choice, but this is dangerous.

    One of my greatest fears from day 1 of the idea of Trump as president was him having access to the most top secret intel of the US. (Many others had this same fear.) Trump is a unique threat to the national security if the country. The many in the GOP who support this dangerous buffoon are despicable.

    Of course he wants to be reelected in order to save himself from jail time. Easily predictable and also a threat to the rule of law.

    @TonyStark. Yes, and that's why Biden put a stop to it as soon as he could. "President Biden said on Friday that he would bar his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, from receiving intelligence briefings traditionally given to former presidents, saying that Mr. Trump could not be trusted because of his “erratic behavior” even before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/us/politics/biden-trump-intelligence-briefings.html
