Poor democrats don't realize we are in the middle of a dictator's seize of power. Think they still have laws that will protect them and us. Wish they would use what power they do have and bring the government to a stop until the dictator is removed.

It wasn’t an altercation, they didn’t want a Democrat asking her uncomfortable questions she couldn’t answer. But we know why you’re trying to hide that fact. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol... Politico Owner CEO Mathias Döpfner Told Execs to Pray for Trump: Report

The altercation? He identified himself preparatory to asking some questions. That Noem bitch’s thugs assaulted him. Not an “altercation”. An assault. On a sitting US Senator.

Don’t you dare try to “both sides” this. The video is there for all to see. Aside from the fact that he DID identify himself, are you seriously telling me that the DHS Secretary doesn’t recognize the senior Senator of the state she’s invading?

I will keep saying it — the Trump administration has crossed a line. I will guarantee you that no Republican in Congress will say or do anything. I’d say they may even cheer it on. We are living under an authoritarian rule. All those in office with the power to do something is complicit.
