The realization struck me today that Trump swore to “faithfully execute the laws of the United States”.

In a way, he’s doing just that. I guess it depends on your definition of “execute”?

I don’t want to go to sleep because that means waking up tomorrow. 😭

#RIPDemocracy

I will not watch the inauguration tomorrow. Donald Trump is a liar, a con man, a sexual predator, an insurrectionist, and an absolute piece of shit. I am disgusted that people in this country were stupid enough to put him back in office. He is not my president. I wish him nothing but misery and failure.

#JackSmith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan to dismiss the case #WithoutPrejudice, acknowledging that #DOJ policy prohibits prosecuting a sitting president. If she does that, it leaves open the possibility that prosecutors could again bring charges once #Trump leaves office after his second White House term.
