'Let Democracy Speak' - Epstein Victims Urge Mike Johnson to Stop Playing Politics

No one has gone further out of their way to conceal the Epstein files than House Speaker Mike Johnson. 

He could hold a seminar on how to obstruct justice with all of the experience he's gained in the House as its leader. 

Trump has been counting on Johnson to keep the House closed as long as possible so Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) couldn't provide the one needed vote to have a bipartisan discharge petition to compel the Trump regime to release the Epstein case files. 

The thinking behind keeping his Republican charges on a never-ending vacation is that some 11-th hour event will come up and derail it. Like one of the Republicans who are voting for the release suddenly changes their mind and joins the rest of his cowardly colleagues in opposing the release of the Epstein files.

Johnson was confronted today with an open letter from the victims of the late billionaire financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In it they asked him to stop obstructing the swearing in of Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva.

They didn't hold back their concerns.

"Grijalva was duly elected and certified to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives," the letter began. "Her constituents have spoken, and their voices deserve representation without further delay. The continued refusal to seat her is an unacceptable breach of democratic norms and a disservice to the American people. Even more concerning to us survivors, this delay appears to be a deliberate attempt to block her participation in the discharge petition that would force a vote to unseal the Epstein/Maxwell files."

In conclusion the letter said, "Speaker Johnson must stop using procedural tactics to protect the powerful and instead uphold the integrity of our democratic institutions. Our trauma is not a pawn in your political games. Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

The country is in chaos because Johnson has his head up Trump's ass and doesn't care if the government stays closed throughout his dear leader's term. Without the last-minute intervention from a judge the SNAP program was going to shut down and deprive 42 million Americans of much-needed food. Johnson claimed he couldn't do anything about that. Really?

The third most powerful politician in the government couldn't do anything to help millions of Americans. Think about that. We all know he's lying - and he knows we know - but he still stands in front of microphones and lists of lies like flies.

I wonder what Johnson would think if he heard what Trump reportedly told a GOP house member the other day. He bragged that behind the scenes he's effectively holding the position of president and House speaker.

I'm thinking he'd squint behind his owl glasses and give a big shitty smile to show he has no shame.

As it Stands, as of Saturday the House has been in recess for 30 days as Johnson refuses to reconvene the chamber until the Senate adopts a spending bill that will doom American healthcare.

The Militarization of America is Speeding Up

Any dictator worth his/her salt knows they have to control the military in order to achieve a totalitarian regime.

That lesson hasn't been lost on Trump, who has been studying for years on how to be a proper dictator (dear leader) under the tutelage of Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Xi Jinping, and now he feels his time has arrived. 

Trump on his first day of his regime rescinded an executive order (Executive Order 13989) signed by President Joe Biden that guaranteed that the Executive Branch would make ethical decisions. That set the stage for his corrupt regime.

To prove he's been reading the Dictator's for Dummies guidebook, Trump illegally surged active military and federalized national guard units in August, in California. Under a tsunami of lies Trump expanded his attacks against blue cities like Portland, Oregon, Washington DC, and Chicago, Illinois.

The result thus far has been a flood of court cases as Democrats fight back against the seizure of their cities by a military force. It's looking like the tide is slowly turning against Trump in the courts and possibly by the Supreme Court.

But that chaos isn't slowing Trump down in his quest to take over all 50 states with "special military units" by January 1st. He's already ordered the National Guard to train as many as 500 troops per state to serve as a "rapid response" team focused on civil disturbance "missions."

If that doesn't sound ominous, I don't know what is. I went on "missions" in Vietnam. But that was a war. This war is against the American people.

In our undeclared war against South American countries Trump has deployed an aircraft carrier group (the Gerald R. Ford is the biggest aircraft carrier in the world) and Secretary of War Defense Hegseth has authorized illegal strikes on civilian boats in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean under the pretext they were all drug smugglers. So far, 61 people have been arbitrarily murdered in what critics are calling "illegal extrajudicial killings."

The U.S. government has been accused of violating Columbian sovereignty, by striking a civilian fishing boat. Venezuela has appealed to the international courts about U.S. operations and openly 'hostile provocation" and a breach of international law. The country has mobilized its armed forces and militia to stop a suspected invasion of their country.

The military is not permitted to target civilians, including suspected criminals, who do not pose an imminent threat of violence. We have the Coast Guard to protect against drug smugglers.

But Congress has been kept in the dark about what's happening with the exception of some Republican Trump loyalists who got a brief meeting with Hegseth a day ago telling them what to say - not the real story.

Hegseth has purged the military of all its top brass in every branch to install Trump loyalists that will obey Trump's every command. Including going to war without authorization from Congress.

As it Stands, the political weaponization of American Armed Forces is progressing rapidly with little resistance - with the exception of the overwhelmed court system trying to protect our rights as free people. 

SNAP Benefits and Health Insurance Extensions Can Be Saved: Here's How

With just over 24 hours left before millions of Americans go hungry there is still a way of saving the biggest food program in the country for the needy.

This morning Senator Schumer, Senator Amy Klobuchar, and Senator Ben Ray Lujan, introduced two bills. The first one will fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) before the Nov. 1st deadline. If it isn't passed 42 million Americans will go hungry.

------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: A coalition of 25 Democratic-run states sued the Trump administration to prevent billions of dollars of cuts to federal food assistance. If the lawsuit is successful SNAP will be funded in time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The second bill would preserve the Affordable Care Act by extending health insurance tax credits in exchange for the Democrats support to reopen the government. The Nov. 1st deadline is in sight and there's no time to waste on partisan politics. Though the tax credits are set to sunset at the end of the year, increased premiums are expected to appear during the open enrollment period.

The reality that faces both bills is grim. Trump's hammerlock on the House and Senate is firm. Trump could care less if people go hungry or lose their health insurance. He's demonstrating his disdain for the American people by going on an Asian tour to collect gifts bribes from several countries.

For example, South Korea presented Trump with a gold crown today. I'm not kidding! The irony is as thick as a brick.  

The insidious thing is that during Trump's first regime there was a long shutdown, the longest in history, but he somehow found a way to fund the program back then. Why not do it this time? 

I think you know the answer. Trump has no guardrails and is openly playing the dictator. There is a fund to tap, an annual appropriation, this time, just like the last time. Congress built in a backup fund for just this kind of emergency.

The extended effect of losing the SNAP program goes beyond hungry people. For example, one dollar in SNAP benefits generates $1.50 in economic activity, according to the USDA. 

At this point, I'm afraid the cowardly Republicans in both the House and Senate are going off an economic cliff like lunatic lemmings to please their dear leader.

It would take a miracle to bring MAGA Mike and his puppets back to the House to save Americans that are going to go hungry and lose their health benefits. The Senate will need to move fast - as in today or tomorrow - to save both programs.

As it Stands, the SNAP program is 60 years-old and has never been unfunded... until now.

Supreme Court is Enabling Trump's Control Over the Federal Government

It sure must be nice to have the Supreme Court in your pocket especially if you're a dictator looking to establish complete control of a government.

Once again, the Trump regime is asking the Supreme Court to break rules for the dear leader. This time they want SCOTUS to uphold the illegal firing of the Register of Copyrights Shira Perlmutter from her influential post earlier this year inside the Library of Congress that oversees and enforces the United States' copyright system.

Imagine the fun Trump will have abusing copyright laws to benefit himself. This is just the latest appalling appeal to the justices over the first felon's expansive view of presidential control over the federal government.

Next month, the Supreme Court will consider Trump's ability to fire members of independent federal agencies without cause. Next year the Supreme Court will also examine Trump's control over members of the Federal Reserve.

Under federal law, the Register of Copyrights is appointed by and reports to the Liberian of Congress, who in turn is appointed by the president for a 10-year term after confirmation by the Senate.

Ignoring the fact that Biden appointed Librarian Carla Hayden had years to go in her term, Trump arbitrarily fired her without cause when he came into office. He replaced her with his personal attorney and Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, who has become Trump's enforcer and Epstein File confidant. Blanche then fired Perlmutter and the deed was done.

Trump is brazenly shaking down the justices to overturn the legal questions surrounding his control of the Library of Congress and who leads it.

The Supreme Court made a huge mistake when they granted immunity for the most crooked politician in the modern age. Trump is rampaging through the federal government and the states in order to assert complete control of the United States.

The Supreme Court's so-called shadow docket for emergency motions has played an outsized role in legal challenges against the new Trump regime. Federal trial judges from across the ideological spectrum have repeatedly blocked actions by the regime, only for the Supreme Court to halt those rulings with little or no explanation.

The Court's failure to explain its rulings has also opened the door to the Trump regime embracing a maximalist interpretation of what the Court has authorized.

Without a doubt America is at a precarious moment of backsliding. The courts are being asked to serve as a check on Trump's abuses and a backstop for the rule of law. In case after case, the justices have declined that charge.

As it Stands, with the conservative majority in the Supreme Court, Trump is riding roughshod over all of our laws in his quest to be a dictator.

Is Trump Dying Before Our Eyes?

Trump has always lied about his health. 

So have his handpicked doctors who have described his health in hyperbolic terms like "he's the healthiest President in history."

We know he's the oldest president in history and he's a documented serial liar. Beyond that people can only go by what they see. Like hands with dark red and purple splotches hastily covered up with makeup and ankles so swollen it's a wonder he can walk.

Under pressure from the media, Minister of Propaganda Karoline Leavitt, reluctantly admitted Trump has chronic venous insufficiency which she downplayed as not being unusual. 

Then the media announced that Trump had an MRI during his recent trip to Walter Reed medical center. This new development has raised even more serious questions about Trump's health.

While on his way to Asia Trump told CBS News, "I did. I got an MRI, it was perfect, yep." When asked what the doctors were looking for, Trump shrugged and nonchalantly said "ask the doctors." And surprise, surprise, the doctors were aboard the plane, and they claimed Trump had "some of the best reports they've ever seen." Sound familiar?

But the bullshit didn't stop there. Trump's personal physician, Capt. Sean Barbarella sent out a memo saying that he was in perfect health and his cardiac age "was found to be approximately 14 years younger than his chronological age." Barbarella also didn't say what part of the body was the MRI done on or if it was a whole-body scan. Of particular interest he never said why the MRI was ordered.

The most chilling part of the in-flight interview was when Trump refused to rule out a bid for a third presential term, despite the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two terms. "I would love to do it," he responded to reporters' question of running for a third term. "Am I ruling it out? You'll have to tell me," Trump ominously replied. 

Is Trump dying? Does he have even more brain damage than most people have suspected? Does he have a chronic condition that is threatening his life? 

My theory is Trump knows his days are limited so he's going balls out in a grand farewell to the American people and the world. Hence crazy things like tearing down the East Wing of The White House to accommodate a ballroom which I'm sure will be dubbed "The Trump" Ballroom." It gives him a chance to forever proclaim his majestic reign.

Maybe all of Trump's recent comments about going to heaven - and even holding a grift among his minions to give him money to enter heaven - are reflective of him sensing his days are numbered. Because he hides all of the real records about his health one has to wonder how sick he really is.

As it Stands, don't be surprised if Mount Rushmore is partly demolished so that Trump's fat face can go alongside some real presidents.

Why are Ballrooms So Popular Among Dictators, Kings and Queens?

Here's a quick trip down memory lane featuring some famous ballrooms in history.

Two kings are particularly famous for building grand ballrooms: King Louis XIV of France and King Ludwig II of Bavaria. King Louis XIV built The Hall of Mirrors (Galerie des Glaces) which is arguably the most famous example of a grand ballroom in history.

King Luwig II built a Great Hall of Mirrors at Herrenchiemsee, Germany as a tribute to Louis XIV. Of course, being a king meant Ludwig II had to build a larger version featuring 33 grand chandeliers and 25 frescoes depicting the life of Louis XIV.

In 1855 The Buckingham Palace ballroom was completed for Queen Victoria. It measured 120 ft long and 60 feet wide and 45 ft high.

Thus far we've covered old ballrooms built by kings. They were all built for the same purpose of impressing royalty throughout Europe. They were the ultimate statement of power and opulence for the wealthy.

Now it's time to look at grand ballrooms built by moguls to display their wealth and status in society. 

During the Gilded Age Cornelius Vanderbilt II built a mansion on Fifth Avenue with a large ballroom (Pictured in photo above) that could have held four regular middle class two-story homes in its volume. At the time it was the largest ballroom around.

In 1937 Hitler decided he needed a grand ballroom to impress people with and he partly demolished the Old Reich Chancellery in an interesting coincidence since Trump tore down part of The White House to build his ballroom. The new building was built during an economic depression when German citizens were trying to keep up with the rapidly growing inflation on all goods in the country. It also had a bunker like Trump's monstrosity does beneath the bottom of the ballroom.

That brings us to Trump's planned abomination ballroom twice the size of The White House which was partly demolished during the construction. Because Trump loves the Gilden Age buildings and interiors he's copied their ostentatious design.

It's important to point out that Trump didn't have permission to demolish the White House East Wing and went about construction before anyone could do anything about it. This vanity project is going to have a strong resemblance to the gilded ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club and home in Palm Beach, Florida.

Because Trump is overseeing the project and letting very little information out on it, we don't know exactly who is paying for it. 

Right now, it looks like the bulk of the cost is being covered by CEOs and companies seeking favors from Trump, who is the most transactional president we've ever had. But the cost keeps going up. The cost started at $200 million and has ballooned to $350 million. I suspect that cost is going to go up as the project progresses.

As you may have deduced ballrooms have always been a symbol of power and wealth. To see one dwarfing the White House - a symbol of the People's House - is disgusting and demoralizing. 

The whole project is just another grift in Trump's polarizing presidency. It's satisfying Trump's enormous ego despite the optics of a country shut down and struggling with rising inflation. Hitler did the same thing for the same reason.

As it Stands, the struggle to save democracy has never been greater than it is now with a corrupt narcissist president who believes he's above the law. 

Abrego Garcia's Lawyers are Turning the Tables on the DOJ

By now most Americans have heard various stories about what happened to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an immigrant wrongfully deported to El Salvador in March of 2025 by the Justice Department.

The case has become notorious for exposing the lengths to which the Trump administration has gone to silence him and ship him overseas. The government recently offered to deport Garcia to Liberia, an African country known for its human rights violations, but his lawyers were able to stop them at the last minute.

Some context: Garcia is facing two criminal accounts of human smuggling related to a 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee and has pleaded not guilty. It looks like Garcia is going to get his day in court soon. 

His defense lawyers have been granted permission to proceed with a claim of "vindictive prosecution" arguing that the criminal charges were filed in retaliation for Garcia challenging his initial deportation to El Salvador.

Keep in mind that "vindictive prosecution" is also going to play a part in the criminal charges filed against former FBI chief James Comey and N.Y. Attorney General Leticia James who filed combined motions to disqualify the cases against them too. As Trump continues to pursue his revenge tour it's becoming clear that the courts will be looking at more cases of vindictive prosecution.

Back to Garcia's case. Trump's personal hitman in the courts, Todd Blanche, is getting cornered by the recent ruling where he may be forced to testify. Right now, he's ranting about the court's ruling and claiming he's immune from giving any testimony... anywhere.

The legal saga has attracted national attention, with Garcia's lawyers calling the attempts at deportation "punitive, cruel, and unconstitutional."  A federal judge in Maryland has banned his immediate removal while she reviews claims that the government is retaliating against him for successfully challenging his previous wrongful deportation, according to ABC and CBS News.

Determining the legitimacy of the charges against Abrego Garcia is highly complex, with federal and civil court cases, conflicting evidence, and accusations of political motivation. While he has been indicted by a federal grand jury on human smuggling charges, federal judges have expressed skepticism and concerns about the government's handling of the case. Garcia has maintained he's innocent.

Puppy-killer Kristi Noem has claimed to the media that Garcia is an MS-13 gang member, serial domestic abuser, and child predator. Some of the statements are exaggerated, and others are based on information from dubious informants.

A federal judge in July described the U.S. government's "poor attempts to tie Abrego to MS-13," saying that to conclude Garcia is a member of or affiliated with MS-13, the court "would have to make so many inferences" that the conclusion would border on fanciful." Federal judges in 2025 have agreed he's not an MS-13 gang member.

As it Stands, Kilmar Abrego Garcia has become the poster boy for the DOJ's illegal immigration policies and he's embarrassing Trump and his cronies.

The Trump Report: Fear and Loathing in the Heartland and Overseas

Here's the latest damage report Trump has caused in our government system, some recent examples of him flouting the laws of the land, and incidents where he shows what a creep he really is.

The first felon's creepiness credentials are for refusing to let the children of Venezuela compete in the Little League World Championships in America. He refused their visas in another show of racism and downright meanness.

Recent illegal Trump actions run down:

1. Trump used research and development (R&D) money that the Department of Defense had left over from last fiscal year - an action that was patently illegal according to experts in the field. The move was unnecessary because there's overwhelming support in Congress to enact legislation to pay the military.

Instead of taking the legal, straightforward path to pay the troops (as in the 2013 Obama shutdown, when a law was enacted to pay the troops on the eve of the shutdown) the Trump regime opted for an illegal strategy because Maga Mike Johnson shut down the House on Sept. 19, sending its members home and refusing to open the House for business.

2. Taken together with impoundments - where Trump illegally chooses not to spend money he's legally required to spend - he is now violating spending law on both ends of the spectrum. He is not spending money he doesn't want to spend while also spending money for unauthorized purposes.

3. Trump hasn't let up his attacks against Democratic cities despite numerous judgments against his deployment of the national guard. A Chicago Judge stopped any troops from patrolling the streets again yesterday... following other judgements of the illegality of deploying troops indiscriminately into America's heartland. 

4. Trump is building up a military presence in South American waters and the Caribbean. In a major escalation he's deployed an aircraft carrier group to Latin America. Meanwhile Trump has approved 10 deadly military strikes against civilians in international waters in and around the Caribbean and Latin America. He's even raised the possibility of expanding operations to include additional strikes on land.

The things I mentioned above are just a sampling of how out of control things are under a convicted felon who believes he's been divinely guided to sack the country and to impose authoritarian rule.

Since he was reelected, Trump has pursued his perceived enemies like a crazed bloodhound. He's breaking laws with impunity. Every day brings new horrors from Trump's lair in the Oval Office. He's tearing down the People's House to accommodate a massive vulgar ballroom to entertain his wealthy buddies.

As it Stands, America is staggering under the weight of Trump's lawless regime, and we still have more than three years left to endure.

Is The Government Going to Be Permanently Shut Down?

The one person in America who is enjoying the current shutdown is its instigator Trump who is in no hurry to reopen the government.

That's because the First Felon has a good thing going. He's literally demolished the East Wing of the White House with no resistance and is in the process of grifting the U.S. Treasury for $230 million. 

In a naked display of power Trump has declared that taxpayers owe him money for the past investigations against him involving a coup attempt. This sordid grift has been happening behind closed doors and the only reason we know about it is a whistleblower exposed the scheme. 

All Trump needs is for the Justice Department to sign him a check for the two illegal claims he filed totaling $230 million and he can take it to HIS bank. 

The fix is in because Todd Blanche, his personal lawyer that defended him during the coup investigations, is also now a deputy attorney general capable of giving taxpayer money away. 

In addition, Stanley Woodward the associate attorney general was another of Trump's lawyers and stands ready to support dear leaders' theft.

The Justice Department won't say if they are going to recuse Blanche and Woodward. You can bet their answer will come out after the fact. Kind of like the demolishing of the east wing of the White House when Trump claimed he wouldn't touch it with his tiny fingers and then...whoops! Too late.

The effect of the shutdown thus far has given Trump more time to devote to grifts and personal grievances. In his lizard brain the shutdown has offered all kinds of opportunities to enrich himself and his family.

At this point in time there's little Democrats can do to stop Trump's money grab and violation of laws. Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, plans on launching an investigation into what he called " a shakedown" that violates the Constitution.

The DOJ claims it'll follow the guidance of career ethics officials. Of course, Trump has gotten rid of the Ethics Department so that means there will be little - or no - pushback against the big grift.

The bottom line is Trump either gets his way and there's no compromise on the budget bill, or the nation will be paralyzed for the foreseeable future. 

As it Stands, what would have been an obstacle to prior presidents is an opportunity for the corrupt bastard squatting in the Oval Office like a venomous toad.

Organizers of "No Kings" Shares Current and Future Plans to Advocate for Americans

'No Kings" protests aren't going away.

The group plans on calling out Trump's illegal actions and corruption until the wannabe king is kicked out of the White House.

It's time to build on the largest protest in history - 7 million people from all 50 states - according to the organizers of the successful "No Kings" movement.

Event co-founder of Indivisible, Ezra Levin, recently talked with MSNBC and said the group is planning local actions and forming a major organizing infrastructure to sustain the effort. The goal is to transition from large, singular events to a continues rapid-response network.

Expect to see weekly actions which may include targeted boycotts and more local street protests. The group will be encouraging activists to amplify local stories of resistance and participate in community-level organizing.

Among the many missions on Oct. 18th the group held a meeting about engaging in local electoral organizing efforts. A key partner, the ACLU will be announcing training sessions, such as "People Power Training." 

Today the group held a Zoom call entitled, "The Disappeared in America Movement" to organize protests against kidnappings and "disappearances" by vicious and violent ICE agents against immigrants and dissenters from Trump's corrupt agenda.

The alliance between "No Kings" and the ACLU has already put its new rapid-response network into action. 

They are advocating for healthcare by urging supporters to call Senators to restore healthcare cuts made in the recent budget bill. They are also focused on urging people to put pressure on the Democrats to hold fast against Trump's partial government shutdown.

The alliance warned Americans that a massive increase in totalitarian behavior, in addition to the ones that are already underway, can be expected.

What also can be expected is that Trump and his lapdogs are going to portray the alliance as a domestic terror organization. They will weaponize the FBI, DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and any other agencies to go full bore on the alliance. The last thing they want to see is the truth coming out daily about their illegal activities.

"We're going to have days of action," along with days of "non-violent civil resistance," said Ashlee Woodard-Henderson one of the organizers. 

I'm excited and thankful for this alliance that is using its momentum to give Americans a voice in these chaotic times.

As it Stands, speaking truth to power is an American right. Let your voice be heard today.

Convicted Sex Abuser Rapes Lady Liberty Daily

Fact: Trump has to pay $83.3 million to E. Jean Carroll after being found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a federal court. Despite numerous appeals he still has to pay the fine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two days ago, the majority of Americans were shocked to see the east side of the White House being actively demolished. But why, many people wondered? What happened? Was it the result of a domestic terrorist attack?

The answers rolled out with the news the last couple of days about the unexpected destruction on the East Wing of the White House in nearly every media outlet in the country.

Why... because our First Felon wants a giant ballroom to entertain his wealthy buddies and he deemed it necessary.

What happened? Without going through the normal process that includes the National Capital Planning Commission review, Trump decided to dismantle the east wing of the White House. 

Was it a domestic terrorist's work? You could say that as Trump has been the very definition of a domestic terrorist on steroids.

I was enraged to see the desecration as an excavator tore into the hollowed building when just the day before Trump told reporters that the White House wouldn't be disturbed because he had too much respect for its history. That didn't last long. Two days later the assault on our history began.

Historians said the construction both struck at the literal edifice of the building and the symbolism the "People's House" represents. The destruction is unprecedented. There's never been nothing on the scale of Trump's ballroom, not even close to that scale, according to a former chief historian for the White House, Ed Langel.

In a sign the administration was sensitive to the vial images of a gutted East Wing, the Treasury Department directed staff NOT TO SHARE PHOTOS of the project, which was visible from its offices. 

You may wonder who is going to pay for the projected $250 million ballroom that will be 90,000 square feet and hold a seated capacity of 650 people for events of Trump's choosing. According to Minister of Propaganda Karoline Leavitt the ballroom would be "substantially separated" from the main building of the White House and donors are going to foot the cost.

Donors who want favors will now have another way to bribe Donny to grant their wishes. We already know that representatives from Microsoft, Google, Palantir, and other companies, as well as wealthy figures such as Blackstone CEO Stephan Schwarzman and Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss got their bribes in. 

As America watches Don the Con raise hell with the biggest grifts in his life, he's also stripping away our freedoms and systematically demolishing laws that protect the public. 

As it Stands, there's nothing pretty in what's happening to our country which is being raped by a convicted sexual abuser.
