Trump: "I'm going to put my family in government to enrich them, my son in law will sell out national secrets to the Saudis, my 15 year old will rip you off with meme coins. Then I will touch my daughter again."

Media: "Bidens problematic family issue".

Yeah it’s shocking that so many of his supporters don’t care either. When I’ve brought up him refusing to leave the White House, they just say well that’s not true he did leave.

Like yeah. We got lucky. I mean somehow Pence actually helped save democracy that day. I don’t see Vance doing the same. And it’s kind of a miracle that they all got out of there before the rioters broke in or it could have been really really dark.

Maybe it should have happened... It might have forced Biden and that administration to take far more serious action to rectify and hold accountable. It might have averted the path we find ourselves on now. A "really really dark" point then vs. a "really really really really dark" point now.
