Seth Meyers "A Closer Look" at the historical 2nd impeachment (2/10/2021). Dotard's lawyers are incredibly bad. Dotard is being investigated in GA for his attempt to bully GA officials into overturing Joe Biden's win in Georgia.
Dotard "defese" lawyer Bruce Castor says Dotard should be arrested instead of being impeached. I can't say I disagree. With the arresting part. Arrest AND impeach. Or imeach AND arrest. It might actually happen.

To the people who defend the Dotard administration policy of kidnapping migrant children by claiming "Obama put kids in cages"...
According to an 8/26/2020 USA Today Fact check, "Jeh Johnson, Barack Obama's Homeland Security secretary [explained that] during a [2014] spike in unaccompanied minors crossing the southern border of the country [kids were temporarily put in "cages"]. ...under the law, once they're apprehended by the border patrol, within 72 hours, we have to transfer unaccompanied children to (the Department of Health and Human Services). And HHS then puts them in a shelter, and they find placement for them somewhere in the United States".
No kidnapping with the intention of never returning them to their parents. Only in "cages" for 72 hours due to a 2014 spike in unaccompanied minors.
Update 2/5/2021: I updated this post to include the correction as noted by the original tweeter. Which is that the children and their parents were reunited last year while Dotard was still in power (although it was not voluntary, but under a court order). I also posted this to Facebook and Facebook flagged it as "false". "False" because (I guess) the story was giving credit to the Biden administration.
I am sure, however, there will be future reunifications that the Biden administration will be able to claim credit for. Given that it's a top priority for them (to reunite children the Dotard administration kidnpapped with their parents). btw, Facebook said "false" while Snopes says "miscaptioned" (which I would say is a MORE accurate description).
When I tried correcting my Facebook post so that it would not be hidden, the "fact check" immediately came up. I clicked "post anyway" and nothing happened. I fact, I couldn't get away from their "fact check" except by hitting the back button on my browser. So I just deleted the post. F*cking Facebook, trying to make me look like a liar.
MSNBC Video: As law enforcement and the Senate pursue accountability for the Capitol riot and insurrection, world leaders and cultural figures have been speaking out and condemning the attack on democracy. Rapper Marlon Craft has a new song challenging clichés about unity and arguing America cannot try to be unified until people confront things that should not be negotiated, from scientific truths about Covid-19 to white supremacy.
Craft joins MNSBC's Ari Melber and former RNC chairman Michael Steele to discuss his searing song and his hopes for America's future. This interview is from MSNBC's "The Beat with Ari Melber", a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. Aired on 01/22/2021.
Brookings: Make no mistake, the Capitol insurgency was about making America great for white people. In erecting a hangman's noose, waving the Confederate flag, and wearing white nationalist paraphernalia, including an Auschwitz Concentration Camp shirt, the domestic terrorists showed America they fundamentally believe in maintaining and enacting white supremacy.
Donald Trump, and Trumpism as an ideology, has opened a Pandora's box of hate into the American mainstream, giving the permission some racists needed to reveal themselves proudly and wreak havoc on symbols of American democracy that have withstood wars and attacks for centuries. (excerpt from a 1/12/2021 article by Rashawn Ray).
You might say I burried the lead here, but that is what stood out to me. As for Kellyanne posting a topless pic of her own daughter... wtf?
Of course, if Kellyanne were a Democrat, this would be proof of her association with the pedophile ring QAnon says many (all/most?) Democratic politicians are members of.
Her Daugher says she thinks her mom's account was hacked... but that possibility isn't reflected in the article title.
Rachel Maddow Show Video: Unusual Tours In Capitol Ahead Of Trump Mob Attack Prompts Investigation, 1/14/2021 (5:16).
Will members of Congress be expelled for conspiring with the rioters? Will they then be prosecuted for sedition? I don't know, but I certainly hope that if there was collusion that it is exposed and those who set up these (suspected) intell-gathering tours are severely punished.
