He's an idiot. Too many people forgot what a disaster his 1st term was.

"They're eating the cats. They're eating the dogs. They're eating your pets" and those are the very absurd words that MAGA supporters retained to elect him (and TWICE) as President of the United States. A man who has no sense of discrimination that only follows his basest instincts. Impeach. Release the Epstein's files.

Disney has not learned enough. They are attempting to make Kimmel learn a lesson, when Disney has the leeso s to larn. Punishement needs to be significant enough that Dinsey will not attempt this again.

Roy Cohn sat next to McCarthy and then Donnie. It's something I think about. 🇺🇲

Nothing compares with this outrageous and vile regime and they have done far more damage to the country and they are far more dangerous and we don't have anyone in the republican party that has integrity or the guts to stand up to Trump and do something to stop him from destroying our democracy and freedom and they will have consequences for their malfeasance and treason but in the meantime we are in serious peril and we have to stand up and take back our democracy and remove Trump and his entire regime from 🎉and charged with all of their crimes

The Court of History is one of my favorite podcasts in the Legal AF family. There is always an interesting guest & at times I learn a great deal about certain eras that were not taught in such detail in many of my years of education. Thank you gentlemen for this great podcast.

What has proven true is that money talks. These corporations that support Trump and MAGA won't stop until we take away what they NEED, our money. Choose where you spend, where you invest. For this moment, divest in the corporations that support what you are against.
