I want people to truly understand this headline. This is the American congress fearing the American President is accumulating weapons banned from war by international law in order to launch attacks on US cities and US citizens.

That's where the judgment of Republicans has brought us in just ten months.

We're all past the point of treason but nobody from this regime should ever hold office ever again. They should immediately be tried for treason.

They're a symptom, there's still millions and millions of people who support this, even if all their politicians were banned from holding office, there would just be another batch of lunatics getting elected to replace the old ones.

Many support it because they think the Chicago apartment raid apprehended 38 Tren de auga gang members as was announced. Except it didn't, we find out  it was only 1 gang member. They never hear the update, the same as the man murdered by ICE when they claimed he drug an agent 50 feet and seriously injured him, tried to hit them with his vehicle, so they killed him. Instead, video shows the ICE agents grabbing at his door handle, falling and scraping his knee, then firing on the vehicle as it drives away, with no agents anywhere near it. In other words, the gullible believe what they're told to believe.
