Stephen Miller is the guy who makes the policies to make Trump's racist dreams come come true. Barr does this for Trump's facist dreams.

So taxpayer money and US Government resources are being used to defend Trump in what's basically a rape case? :banghead:

This is one of the most blatant abuses of the DOJ by Trump.

And it's just another day in the life of Trump's presidency. But people will still vote for him. I don't know which is worse.

Isolated? Perhaps but let’s wait and see. As of last night they were reporting as many as
around 17-18 different women.

I meant relatively isolated in terms of it being one doctor. Clearly many knew before the whistleblower and said/did nothing, so it is a sign of a corrupt system.

Where are all the posters who said that Trump is the upstanding moral choice? Another sexual assault allegation and he’s currently in the middle of a rape case in the courts. Very Christian values.....

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Well we all know what Mitch will do. Biden better show some backbone and say if the GOP attempt to fill the seat he will expand the court.

Either way this will be a blood bath...and quick frankly exactly what this country deserves.

We are in great danger. What a nightmare -- & how close we are to the end of democracy.

Thank you Doc. This is clearly an instance in which an And1 doesn't seem nearly sufficient.

Consider this a warning shot. You have one **** job. Stop crying about Biden, about Democrats, about Bernie whatever. Here’s what’s exactly going to happen if you don’t get you and at least 5 people you know to vote. Nothing else matters now.

If Mitch and Trump do this, it's the ultimate disrespect they're capable of giving to a true American hero. And I hope both of them receive the ultimate disrespect.

Nope he should not do that. What Biden needs to do is keep hammering home Mitch’s own words and the words of Lindsey Graham. Treat it as a direct attack on the American people and explain bluntly the implications that it will have on Republican Senators up for re-election. Finally tie it back to the coronavirus package that’s sitting on McConnell’s desk. Playing your hand about packing the courts just gives Republicans another talking point and will turn voters off both parties. Keep the focus on McConnell and Republicans.
