The Republicans objecting to the impeachment are all MAGA and proving that their ideas means "rule of law" does not apply to an6nof them in any way.
Remember this when voting.

If you're gonna vote Republican, never vote MAGA. It's a vote for lawlessness and fascism.

One of the totalitarian tools is limiting the vote to only your people. If no one is allowed to vote against you, you win.
North Carolina will be the next state to adopt unnecessary rights-violating voting restrictions designed to maintain an unpopular phony majority.

The other candidates can get him on board if they combine to simply tear him down and inflate themselves.
Do not tear into each other, and you stand a chance.
Tearing each other to shreds only feeds this fascist's agenda and crowns him dictator of Republicans and bete noir of democracy and decency.

Of course she's for an ethics code for SCOTUS. She's one of the liberals.
The MAGA SCOTUS avoids ethics whenever possible. Gets in the way of payoffs and side deals.
MAGA SCOTUS is corrupt as a sewer, and needs to be purged ASAP if the democracy is to survive.

How to tell you're in a cult.
Your leader gets indicted and his support goes up.
You are in a cult that disbelieves reality and worships the leader unquestioningly.
You do not support democracy or anything good.

Our democracy is in such straights almost completely because the winner of the GOP's 50-year project to rig the system was Donald Trump, fascist, autocrat, bigot, populist, and narcissist. He will tear down the whole edifice if it keeps his fragile tiny ego intact and inflated.

@staidwinnow @realTuckFrumper It's not that Trump continues his big lie crusade - whack jobs have been pushing nonsense for decades in the name of pseudoscience.
The problem is the millions of acolytes who have bought the big lie and now it is so much their psychic make up they can't reject it without intense psychological trauma.

Those are the one who are an existential threat to us and our democracy.

I'm very OK with this as Trump cannot win against any competent nationally known Democrat.
DeSantis is more dangerous, as he's more competent than Trump at doing fascism.

You knew he'd never pay his own legal fees.
With his history, it's probably a good idea for a 3rd party to pay the lawyers. He's got a history of stiffing people out of what he owes. Lawyers, builders, caterers, and many many more.
I love the framing of paying others' legal fees as anything other than a payoff for silence. That's how the flock gets fleeced.

In state court he can't pardon himself if disaster strikes and he somehow gets reelected.
It's not whether or not he's guilty. He is and he kows it. It's whether he or another GOP lick spittle can pardon him.

Florida's new standards are disgusting and promote the fascist agenda of Gov. DeSantis.
The lies and exaggerations, the special pleading and outright ahistorical bullshit will result in a generation of historically ignorant students.
Of course, this is all perpetrated by ignorant fascists, so who's surprised?

They give it away in the headline, but who's actually surprised at this point when a GOP operative does unethical stuff?
