Agree 100 . Did Cnn post every single cabinet pick for Biden . They only care about ratings and main stream media have been covering Trump every single day the whole time Biden was in office.
the guy ran on talking about hannibal lecter, a golfers privates, dancing to ymca for 40 mins and giving a microphone a bj yet that was seen as normal "trump being trump" yeah that ain't normal but media too scared of not getting a interview with him they just say nothing.
Umm we did and Democrats allowed it to be walked all over. If our Democracy was in such peril why not invoke 14.3. SCOTUS even mocked congress for not invoking it.
Exactly. They have the in Canada and we can't let our northern bros outdo us. Free medical for all Americans that have been Americans as least 5 years. So no freeloaders from illegals.
gop has nobody else like trump if the economy tanks which most say it will with tariffs and deportations of labor workers democrats will win easily like always cleaning up the mess republicans made.
That’s the defensive strategy we’ve had for several elections now and it’s not really working. Only by taking a bigger risk can we hope to achieve greater gains. I think we need to come out swinging, with a bold, progressive populist message that’s easy for the party to rally behind, and easy for voters to say yes to
Not when "good" is still evil and "perfect" is barely acceptable. The democratic party is a hollow husk of its ideals run by corporate interests wearing a mask of social justice, and republicans are falling headlong into fascism with a smile. Welcome to America today. In my opinion, we need a real third party. It is no longer just a desire shared by many, but an abject necessity.
You are a light in the dark Brian. I love you please stay safe out there man these fuckwits are getting bold. But no matter how hard the wind blows the mountain never bows
Voting isn't marriage, it's public transport. You're not waiting for 'the one' who's absolutely perfect: you're getting the bus, and if there isn't one to your destination, you don't not travel- you take the one going closest.
HERE WILL BE NO MORE REAL ELECTIONS UNDER TRUMP!!!!! WE HAVE TO ACT NOW!!!!!!!!! !IF WE DON'T DO A RECOUNT AND INVESTIGATION TO EXPOSE THE OBVIOUS STEAL, MAGA WILL NEVER LOSE ANOTHER ELECTION, LIKE PUTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH LIBERALS AND DEMS WHO LET MAGA GET AWAY WITH EVERYTHING WHILE FINGERPOINTING AND PICKING FLUFF OUT OF THEIR NAVELS WHILE DICTATOR TRUMP STEALS THE PRESIDENCY??????????????
But it's shit when the other side doesn't join in and takes advantage. After this election, even the most dim-witted singing bowl hippie should have realized that there's nothing to be gained by 'good vibrations' and 'happiness'.
This I fully agree with. Additionally, the Democrats can’t be push overs going forward. Americans want someone who is seen as fighting for them. Now where I’m at a loss is why they thought Trump was better than Kamala on that issue.
You have to realize that what it really involved was the misperception that elected officials have absolute regulatory control over the workings of the free market. They don’t. Couple that with the unspoken but inherent misogyny and racism prevalent in the middle class, and you end up with what just happened. None of “them” blame Trump for the pandemic, but they were quick to blame Harris and co. for the economic aftermath. The media, in all its iterations, has to bear responsibility for that perspective.
We all need to keep pushing nominations of qualified candidates. They don't have to be perfect. They do need to be competent, knowlegeable, intelligent and resilient. The liklihood of any of DJT cabinet appointments lasting long in these positions is slim. DJT will either drive them into resigning or he will fire them. Most will be short- timers.
Stop it with the Trump rhetoric. Focus on Liberal greatness and not anti Trump or we lose again. You don't win elections on negative campaign. Enough said. ✋🏻
The IMMEDIATE NEED/GOAL is Election/Voting (cyber) Security because without this there will no longer be a Democracy and I state this as we see them having TOO MUCH Judicial SYSTEM Control as well _________ AND They don't intend to give up POWER at any point - including in 2 years or 4 - can you see that
Yeah right. Like did Democrats even have a plan 'B' figuring out how to handle a Trump win. Or are they going to be on TV 24/7 telling us what we already know. They always sound so helpless and never offer up what action they'll be taking,
I think trump will do what he does best, play golf, sh!t himself, and do sweet f.a as he did in his last term. let him prove again what a waste of air he is and his merry band if nut jobs are.
We aren’t looking for perfect. I’m tired of the Democrats asking the Republicans what they think they never care what we think. Also, this is about morals at this point.
"There are always too many Democratic congressmen, too many Republican congressmen, and never enough U.S. congressmen." ~20,000 Quips & Quotes, compiled by Evan Esar, 1968
We should be asking regular people. Regular people seem to think us telling them that the way they talk is offensive is pompous and condescending, and thus, makes us seem like we are lying about being inclusive, especially if the leftist in question telling them that is not a minority or working class, and what they are saying is obviously not meant to be offensive. This just tells me we need to adjust our messaging and that the issue isn't anything inherently wrong with the left itself. Thankfully, adjusting messaging is a minor issue.
We are trying to figure out how they think not what they think, and the Fact most are Mentally messed up explains how that side thinks. The big one is 90% of Republicans assume Democrats are here to take all 100% of the guns Away and that no Democrat owns guns like I do. Also, Region has crept into the Republican side. Personally, I think the flip floppers we need to Brain wash this Group of people.
The Dutch offer a great model for dealing with addressing inequality, and it’s pragmatic. No identity politics, it’s all about human rights and economic equality. They address inequalities of the most disadvantaged without needing to single them out. It’s the way to go.
I don't see any one blaming anyone because we still haven't heard why Harris lost when she was winning trump and then I noticed trump was brought out by musk the billion air I don't see that as a winner that is still a loser like he did in 2020 and said it was FRUAD
Naw, I'm going to blame Sinema and Manchin. If Build Back Better had gotten passed, inflation would have been dramatically lower, and Kamala would have won. If we hadn't been so desperate for ostensible Democrats in Nevada and West Virginia, and had imposed even a tepid purity test, we wouldn't have had to deal with either of those two phonies. But that's what 'big tent' gets you.... Joe Manchin and Kirstin Sinema.
I compare President Biden and President Obama, both great Presidents in my opinion, and thinking about what a great orator President Obama is, it seems to me that communication of the wonderful things President Biden did for this Country was a big component in why we didn't win. I think a lot of people have things twisted and that the Democratic party definitely needs better messaging. Thank you, BTC!!!💙💥💥🔥🔥Thank you, Independant Media, for pushing the truth and giving the American people the facts!!!
Unfortunately the mainstream media capitalized on daily Trump scandals for viewerships versus day to day good news regarding what President Biden accomplished!
Thank you Brian for telling it like it is. We must not give up or give in to Trump and his Orange Mafia cabinet. Viva la resistance. We can hopefully start to turn this country around in the mid term elections.
Brian, I have recently unsubscribed from several creators because they continue to complain about Trump instead of planning and strategizing how we can correct what we did wrong in 2024. Thank you for focusing on how to move forward and being prepared. Still subscribed.❤❤❤
The biggest factor was the global anti-incumbency that existed due to issues that were systemic due to the pandemic causes. Kamala ran a pretty darn good campaign, considering she had a very short runway. There's also the issue of the proud ignorance and delusion of exceptionalism that exists in this country, and that's something that is very hard to combat. It's going to take a lot of suffering for a while for people to get the hint that hey these people that you put in power are not for you I just hope that the country is still here for the rest of us.
You can only fight truth with truth. Right now, the left has none of that. Already, many have already started questioning WHY they got is so wrong. For those doubling down, it will be a LOOOONG road. I would hate to be in your position. Though you can get out now.
I am73 and physicaly cant work. I am on SS. I receive 5k a year below poverty. And i get $187.00 a month for food. Let these people that think its to much, then I say let them try to survive on that.
i'm amazed that you're using mansion as an example Brian. That man was a menace and so Sinema. when there were moments of truth that could have shifted tides, they chose the Republicans and Trump.
🤔 YUP. but democrat’s are weak and refuse to actually fight for democracy. Do what needs to be done. Should already be ADDED judges to the supreme court 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️.
Brian you hit the nails on the heads! You've breathed some hope into our souls so thank you, thank you. To pursue nothing short of perfection is a good way to sacrifice a win.
Thank you Brian for making that all make sense to me. Been watching events from here in UK and struggling to understand why half the country voted to burn down their whole government. At least you are regrouping and figuring out how to move forward 💙
As Democrats and liberal leaning people who believe all people are created equal, we need to stand as one and stop bickering. Together we stand strong! We must pull together!
If America can hold an election during the civil war. We are going to have elections. We will need to be vigilant for GOP shenanigans but we will have an election.
Hooray! Brian thank you so very much for saying this. I have been saying this for the entire sixty (60) years I have consistently voted Democrat because I am a progressive!
You can analyze as much as you want: populism and demagogy always works. If one of the candidates lies about everything and is not fact-checked, you can do whatever you want, the battle is lost. The system has to be changed in the US. Somebody like Trump should have NEVER been allowed on the ballot.
Thank you for the good work of commenting, educating and explaining the complex issues to the Democrats and others. It hurts for the Democratic Party to send a lot of automated fundraising emails but not receive replies from voters! We deserve a direct line of communication.
I just seeing one of the messages they send to me me was a post card but I did vote 🗳 for Harris and Ruby Salas I seeing alot Harris and WALZ brought so much joy and happiness in the people that came out to vote blue 💙 I remember this in my time when we would vote 🗳
When I was little and went to Thanksgiving for dinner, there was cordial agreements and disagreements about lots of things. I married a man who when I disagreed with him we had a conversation. NOT an argument. So let the Democrats model civil discussion thank you.
Democrat here soon to be 74, how about we stop fighting amongst ourselves, and pay attention to putting a stop to the fascist right, we all need each other to come together and that is the most important thing we should be doing!
Happy to see more progressives that understand that common sense positioning that it is more important to win for the greater good than maintain your personal opinion of a moral high ground for their ego. Was very disappointed to see too many willing to sit this election out over something so miniscule and not that important on a grander scale. We need to stand united now more than ever and invite everyone with open arms. Nothing divides the far right with their hatred, so nothing, especially not 1 election we only lost by 1% after only being given 100 days, should be dividing us.
THE BASICS = Voting ____BUT that has proven to be hacked/manipulated - The IMMEDIATE NEED/GOAL is Election/Voting (cyber) Security because without this there will no longer be a Democracy and I state this as we see them having TOO MUCH Judicial SYSTEM Control as well _________ AND They don't intend to give up POWER at any point - including in 2 years or 4 - can you see that ________NOW - so CALL any/all Governors as well as Federal Representatives NOW
We are unfortunately not dealing with the same GOP/Republican politics. Figuring out how to unite under policy and compromise is going to be hard against a MAGA cult. I hope the DNC/Democrats can figure out how to be more public facing and be ready to be loud about policies and unit the people. Gotta be a Pit Bull sometimes. Let the light shine on ALL the lies.
Honestly, we need alternatives to the two-party system. Our tent is frankly too big, and would 3-4 parties forming a coalition where and when it makes sense. It causes this ping-pong between D and R roughly every 8 years. The right is far right, and we infight for control like possums in a trenchcoat.
Honestly, it feels like a lot of democratic sentiment in young adults has been "Agree with 100% of my views or you get no vote." The era of compromise is lost on many. Meanwhile, the era of accountability and "drawing a line somewhere, anywhere," is totally gone from Republicans.
I think the goal should be to work together on a bi-partisan, human & Patriotic level, and move forward to actually do something to benefit ALL Americans!!!
Part of the problem of "ideal purity" is that state, county and municipal races often end up being associated with the ideas that permeate the national party.
I have only thing to say to the dems, GET A PAIR, FAST, STAND UP NOW!!!! we move way too slow, don't want to make waves, TAKE THE STAND AND MOVE ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed. This was such a disappointing take by Brian. Economically we've shifted back to the right the past few decades. This wasn't working, let's not just do more of the same.
May be NOT !! You want the most important video from him - ask him to address/investigate OUR Election Security and why it is the _______Greatest NEED / the MOST IMMEDIATE NEED
I've always been a liberal. More liberal than most liberals I know. But here's the thing. I believe in a 2 party system. I wish we had more than 2. I think everyone should be represented including conservatives. My problem is the cult of MAGA. Hatred and fear are not representative of politics.
@@kerrialexander4211You speak about inclusivity yet recommend this begin with an act of exclusion of some of the Democratic Party's hardest working & most qualified people.
They own us when they own/CONTROL OUR Systems - Right NOW they have shown us that they CONTROL OUR Voting Systems and our Judicial systems - voting does not matter when there is ELECTION INTERFERENCE/ Manipulation /Infiltration of which we are seeing coming into the light of Day. NOW - so CALL any/all Governors as well as Federal Representatives NOW
Yes, you are making total sense about settling for a Dem who agrees with us 50% of the time. But AOC and the squad members, and, the Bernies will never make that easy.
👏👏👏👏👏👏 I've been saying this over and over and over. Conservatives vote to get what they want. Progressives vote when they get what they want. That has to change or we get nothing & we don't move forward at all.
6:50 It was all the happy talk about the stock market, while the federal minimum wage is still $7.25. The same as it was nearly 20 years ago. You can't nibble at the margins, say the economy is doing great, and people can't afford to live. This isn't to even mention the housing crisis that has been looming since 2008 when the economy last crashed. Bernie was right as usual.
The withdrawal of Gaetz’ Nomination had nothing to do with Democratic power. It was about the power of four or more Republican senators; Gaetz was a widely reviled politician, and his fate says little or nothing about the fate of Trump’s other nominations.
The first 5 minutes were so well said. The vision of a perfect society clouds the path to get there. Change is incremental, not instant, and going for the full court shot is NOT GONNA HAPPEN! We need to move to at least the 3 pt range lol
Just mention we only got 50 Senators when we had the house. 2 Senators destroyed a big chunk of Biden's agenda. If you want more next time, vote for a larger majority. We rode Manchin out and now look what that did.
I really hope everyone listened to the first 5 mins of this video. This is a good takeaway from this election, and everyone who shares some of our values should think about! We gotta be able to work together again.
Conold's Jan. 6th charges were dropped. That sorry POS got away with all of his crimes, just like I figured he would. If I ever catch a court case, I'm just gonna run for office. I'm so sick of ppl treating him with fckn kid gloves.
They just want us all to be obedient workers. Every big corporation is in on this so of course they're handling this with "kid gloves". This was chosen for us. Look how the dems have been absolutely silent and just rolled right over. This is what they want for us, we obviously dont have a choice.
Technically, he asked Judge Chutkan to dismiss the charges, without prejudice. That means they can be brought again. It was pretty much his only option, since the DOJ will not even have a stayed case hanging around against a sitting president. Hopefully, the contents of Smith’s report can be used to impeach DJT. Then he can be prosecuted.

"We're taking a bus to the next stop, not a car to the front door." Pure gold, my friend!!
I don't watch post-mortems. There's too much work to do. Thank you for this.
As Democrats and liberal leaning people who believe all people are created equal, we need to stand as one and stop bickering. Together we stand strong! We must pull together!
Do you think we will ever have another election where other than maga will be allowed to ever run the show?
I know it's intimidating, but please don't lose hope
Yeah, he’ll be out in 2028
If America can hold an election during the civil war. We are going to have elections. We will need to be vigilant for GOP shenanigans but we will have an election.
@@JennaOrtegalover-98are you sure. If he’s a dictator then he won’t be leaving
No.
Hooray! Brian thank you so very much for saying this. I have been saying this for the entire sixty (60) years I have consistently voted Democrat because I am a progressive!
You can analyze as much as you want: populism and demagogy always works. If one of the candidates lies about everything and is not fact-checked, you can do whatever you want, the battle is lost. The system has to be changed in the US. Somebody like Trump should have NEVER been allowed on the ballot.
14th Amendment article 3!!!
It’s corrupt world that we’re living in. Greed not ideology is the problem.
And lies. A lot of lies.
Thank you for the good work of commenting, educating and explaining the complex issues to the Democrats and others. It hurts for the Democratic Party to send a lot of automated fundraising emails but not receive replies from voters! We deserve a direct line of communication.
I just seeing one of the messages they send to me me was a post card but I did vote 🗳 for Harris and Ruby Salas I seeing alot Harris and WALZ brought so much joy and happiness in the people that came out to vote blue 💙 I remember this in my time when we would vote 🗳
1984 arrived seriously in USA....forty years late.
When I was little and went to Thanksgiving for dinner, there was cordial agreements and disagreements about lots of things. I married a man who when I disagreed with him we had a conversation. NOT an argument. So let the Democrats model civil discussion thank you.
Brian is always so focused and on point. Always forward looking. We need this if we want a winning game plan. Bravo Brian.
Very well expressed. Warmest compliments. Thank you, sir. :)
Democrat here soon to be 74, how about we stop fighting amongst ourselves, and pay attention to putting a stop to the fascist right, we all need each other to come together and that is the most important thing we should be doing!
Happy to see more progressives that understand that common sense positioning that it is more important to win for the greater good than maintain your personal opinion of a moral high ground for their ego. Was very disappointed to see too many willing to sit this election out over something so miniscule and not that important on a grander scale.
We need to stand united now more than ever and invite everyone with open arms. Nothing divides the far right with their hatred, so nothing, especially not 1 election we only lost by 1% after only being given 100 days, should be dividing us.
THANK YOU!!!!
Sweet Jesus, Ive been saying this for years...
Appreciate this “back to basics” sentiment. It is what it is. Thank you, BTC. 💙🇺🇸💙
THE BASICS = Voting ____BUT that has proven to be hacked/manipulated - The IMMEDIATE NEED/GOAL is Election/Voting (cyber) Security because without this there will no longer be a Democracy and I state this as we see them having TOO MUCH Judicial SYSTEM Control as well _________ AND They don't intend to give up POWER at any point - including in 2 years or 4 - can you see that ________NOW - so CALL any/all Governors as well as Federal Representatives NOW
Brian, you speak with political wisdom. I support you wholeheartedly.
We are unfortunately not dealing with the same GOP/Republican politics.
Figuring out how to unite under policy and compromise is going to be hard against a MAGA cult.
I hope the DNC/Democrats can figure out how to be more public facing and be ready to be loud about policies and unit the people. Gotta be a Pit Bull sometimes. Let the light shine on ALL the lies.
Honestly, we need alternatives to the two-party system. Our tent is frankly too big, and would 3-4 parties forming a coalition where and when it makes sense. It causes this ping-pong between D and R roughly every 8 years. The right is far right, and we infight for control like possums in a trenchcoat.
Well stated Brian. Thank you
Honestly, it feels like a lot of democratic sentiment in young adults has been "Agree with 100% of my views or you get no vote." The era of compromise is lost on many. Meanwhile, the era of accountability and "drawing a line somewhere, anywhere," is totally gone from Republicans.
I think the goal should be to work together on a bi-partisan, human & Patriotic level, and move forward to actually do something to benefit ALL Americans!!!
That's Kamala's plan. Not trump's.
@@caroljo420 👍
There's no working with maga.
Part of the problem of "ideal purity" is that state, county and municipal races often end up being associated with the ideas that permeate the national party.
I have only thing to say to the dems, GET A PAIR, FAST, STAND UP NOW!!!! we move way too slow, don't want to make waves, TAKE THE STAND AND MOVE ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Issue is that no one is going to compromise. That is why we are here. Selfishness. It is on both sides.
Maga wont.
PREACH IT!
I disagree! It's essential to not allow certain ideologies. No more corporate democrats. We must be the movement that moves on from corporatism.
Agreed. This was such a disappointing take by Brian. Economically we've shifted back to the right the past few decades. This wasn't working, let's not just do more of the same.
This is the most important video you've ever made. Thank you.
Yes thank you I have been following you since 2921
May be NOT !! You want the most important video from him - ask him to address/investigate OUR Election Security and why it is the _______Greatest NEED / the MOST IMMEDIATE NEED
I've always been a liberal. More liberal than most liberals I know. But here's the thing. I believe in a 2 party system. I wish we had more than 2. I think everyone should be represented including conservatives. My problem is the cult of MAGA. Hatred and fear are not representative of politics.
No one "owns" me, and I certainly do not want to "own" anyone else... I want to work "with" everyone else.
Exactly, compromise is not a dirty word. Exclusion, however, is. We need the Dem Old Guard to retire and allow new leaders to emerge.
@@kerrialexander4211You speak about inclusivity yet recommend this begin with an act of exclusion of some of the Democratic Party's hardest working & most qualified people.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That goes without saying. But question is how?
They own us when they own/CONTROL OUR Systems - Right NOW they have shown us that they CONTROL OUR Voting Systems and our Judicial systems - voting does not matter when there is ELECTION INTERFERENCE/ Manipulation /Infiltration of which we are seeing coming into the light of Day. NOW - so CALL any/all Governors as well as Federal Representatives NOW
Guns , fossil fuels & a living wage ! The living wage is what hurt us !! >>
So just the maga platform- guns, gas, & felons?
I agree. The purity tests have to be DONE.
That's all we've got. Look toward the future. 💙
Hell yeah Brian!!!!
No, the problem is our brand in much of the country has become toxic.
We need to accept the pro-gun faction if we ever want to make gains in Texas
Preach Brian!!! I didn't think I could like you more. But your reasonable and logical words had me falling loyally on your side.
The bottom line here amongst us Democrats is that we need to be as diverse as the people we serve
"Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong." ~Richard Armour, unverified
The country may not survive 4 years so good luck.
Yes, you are making total sense about settling for a Dem who agrees with us 50% of the time. But AOC and the squad members, and, the Bernies will never make that easy.
So go for a Dem who agrees with us 60% of the time. That's more reliable!
Now Jack Smith is caving in...
Why is everyone so scared of trash can trump?!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've been saying this over and over and over. Conservatives vote to get what they want. Progressives vote when they get what they want. That has to change or we get nothing & we don't move forward at all.
6:50 It was all the happy talk about the stock market, while the federal minimum wage is still $7.25. The same as it was nearly 20 years ago. You can't nibble at the margins, say the economy is doing great, and people can't afford to live. This isn't to even mention the housing crisis that has been looming since 2008 when the economy last crashed. Bernie was right as usual.
I feel like America has fallen, they just don't know it yet. I'm devastated. I won't survive his 2nd term.
Stop with the autopsies! Racism, sexism and stupidity lost the day. Go forward addressing those issues.
We need a reconstruction. We cannot move forward with this corrupt "good cop / bad cop" system.
Putting Bernie Sanders "on the sidelines" was a big mistake!
Seems to me that now would be the time to create a real third party. A labor party.
Great advice Brian!!!
The withdrawal of Gaetz’ Nomination had nothing to do with Democratic power. It was about the power of four or more Republican senators; Gaetz was a widely reviled politician, and his fate says little or nothing about the fate of Trump’s other nominations.
Truer words were never spoken Brian. High time someone said this.
Do you actually think we will have another election? Trump scares the hell out of this old woman
Thank you again, Brian, for your interesting and informative videos.
The first 5 minutes were so well said. The vision of a perfect society clouds the path to get there. Change is incremental, not instant, and going for the full court shot is NOT GONNA HAPPEN! We need to move to at least the 3 pt range lol
"evil prevails when good men do nothing" ~~ Edward Burke
Just mention we only got 50 Senators when we had the house. 2 Senators destroyed a big chunk of Biden's agenda. If you want more next time, vote for a larger majority. We rode Manchin out and now look what that did.
Get the DINOs & turncoats out.
I really hope everyone listened to the first 5 mins of this video. This is a good takeaway from this election, and everyone who shares some of our values should think about! We gotta be able to work together again.
Well said...Amen
Conold's Jan. 6th charges were dropped. That sorry POS got away with all of his crimes, just like I figured he would. If I ever catch a court case, I'm just gonna run for office.
I'm so sick of ppl treating him with fckn kid gloves.
They just want us all to be obedient workers. Every big corporation is in on this so of course they're handling this with "kid gloves". This was chosen for us. Look how the dems have been absolutely silent and just rolled right over. This is what they want for us, we obviously dont have a choice.
The opening monologue was one of your best. A clear, thought out perspective that we all need to hear more often . 💙
Brian Jack dismissed the case what is going on
I am totally devastated
Sick at heart
Technically, he asked Judge Chutkan to dismiss the charges, without prejudice. That means they can be brought again. It was pretty much his only option, since the DOJ will not even have a stayed case hanging around against a sitting president. Hopefully, the contents of Smith’s report can be used to impeach DJT. Then he can be prosecuted.
Thank you Brian & much appreciation 💓💙
They should run on raising the minimum wage! That would help so many people!
Lordy, I've been ranting about this for decades along with the party's piss poor messaging.
It's not going to matter. Jack Smith has asked for all charges to be dropped. WTF??
Absolutely! Well said! Thank you, Brian.
Republicans keep a united front. No matter what even standing behind a criminal. Democrats don't.
