“The president has repeatedly exhibited bizarre conduct in the public eye. Not only does that include taking naps during public events, but also erratic behavior, slurred speech, appearing lost or disoriented, and sporting mysterious bruises.”

This is 100% not going to happen.
Disagree? Bet me.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman.

We could’ve had a woman who prosecuted rapists as a president. Instead, we got a rapist as a president.

When Jesus healed the sick, he didn’t ask for a deductible.
When he fed the hungry, he didn’t price gouge for a profit.
When the Hebrew prophets saw corruption, they spoke truth to power.
When I take on this corrupt system, I’m doing it on biblical grounds.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year.
But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%.
Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes.

I feel optimistic about the midterm elections, just over five weeks away. But my stomach aches when I think of what’s at stake. Call me nauseously optimistic.
