 51% of Americans support using 14th A to bar Trump from ballot -- and that's before they see the evidence in his 4 trials. What g will it be then. And dominoes are going to fall now that there's the 1st guilty plea in GA case.

 If you thought it couldn't get worse for Trump, think again. He's killing fish in the Chicago River, violating EPA rules, and doesn't even have a permit.

 Could this bar prosecution of Hunter Biden? Conservative 5th Circuit rules it's unconstitutional to bar drug users from owning guns. Who's sorry now about SCOTUS expansion of 2nd Amendment?

 Navarro convicted, and fast. No surprise. Evidence clear and he had no defense. What we learned. Must show up when subpoenaed.  Can't claim executive privilege without any evidence a president invoked it.

 Some good news. Wins for Biden as Trump and Republicans lose, lose and lose some more.
