If fear of a 2nd Dump term is what will drive people to the polls to vote for Biden-Harris, then Holder's right, we should use it in an effective manner. Not to paralyze folks into more fear, but to realistically lay out what it would mean, how Dump wants to take your house, your car, your job and everything that is valuable to you in the process of taking away your freedom to exercise any rights.

Trump claims to support Law and Order until the Law applied to him. Respect to all the American citizens of the Grand Juries who heard the EVIDENCE and INDICTED Trump.

Are we scared? Are we trembling with that pathetic loser threats no more power to United States of America and us. The people boat blue.💙💙💙💙💙💙

Bannon will never make his fever dream of prosecuting Democrats come true as long as we Vote Blue!! in November.

[stansnooks]

Remember this, if Trump does not win in November there is very little he can do about his insane threats.
Vote blue in massive numbers, as voters you have control but you can not do this if you do not vote blue blue blue.
Collectively you have the power, use the power, vote blue.

Donald Trump said "Climate Change is a Hoax". It is not, he is. He also knows how to predict hurricane's paths w a Markie!

Holder? The guy who is in contempt of Congress?
Operation fast and furious Holder?
Holder has nothing to say about what's legal.

The guy was babbling incoherently about sharks and boats at his event the other day. He was literally BABBLING like a baby as he forgot how to speak. That should be a FULL. STOP. period. But his supporters are numb to his idiocy..it's pathetic

[RJBenish]

The under-lighting is asthetically bad. Turn off the lights on Nicolle's desk. Also please teach Nicolle how to pronounce "politicization." Enunciate: Pol - it - i - ci -za - tion.

Go back and look at footage of Mussolini when he was leader of Italy - striking similarities, him and Trump

Fear only works when you are dealing with cowards.
