I’ve heard this from a lot of people in a lot of places, so maybe there’s something to it. Trump is a horrible president. He not only won the office, but has been a sore winner from day one. Of… Read More ›
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR – BY ELLIN CURLEY
Since November 8, I’ve been fantasizing about the ways in which Trump could be removed from office. Resignation, Impeachment. 25th Amendment. Russian collusion. Emoluments Clause. Money laundering. Treason. Let me count the ways! I really want Trump brought down in a humiliating… Read More ›
