Our beloved Dolly Parton has died. I am devastated, and I’m sure the nation will mourn her as I do, and for many years to come. She had a voice of pure gold and a heart to match.
What a terrible, terrible loss.

He’s tightening the noose. They are rigging and getting all hands on deck to steal the coming midterms. Vote like your life depends on it. It does.

1/2 You folks at the Wall St Journal have been played by this Trump-style version of three card monte. The lawsuit - and the fund - is just a fig leaf of cover to be used as pretext to grant Trump and his family of businesses permanent immunity from his fraudulent $72.9 million tax refund.

1/2 “ We live in a time when politicians relentlessly enrich themselves. The grab and grub. They never leave. They’ve found a launching pad and shot themselves into glamour and wealth. They’re operators—entitled, assuming. They “stand for the people.” They stand for themselves.”

#FOXNEWS VIEWERS!  Since your preferred media outlet won’t tell you, here’s the scoop!  #TRUMP is stealing from you in broad daylight, and for you to bury your heads in the sand is not just shocking, but tragic.  Theft isn’t BLUE or RED.  Some people are just crooks and he’s one of the biggest.
