The Virginia GOP has some nerve.

They just drew out Black reps all across the country with their own gerrymanders, but are sending this shit to Black voters on the VA redistricting law.

You cannot change the vote you cast. You CAN change what you do next.

You were lied to. You were betrayed. What matters now is what you decide to do about it.

Trump was asked about Iran tonight, and if he had any message to the families of the service members who were killed.

He ignored those questions, and instead commented on new statues that he has installed in the rose garden.

He is not exonerated by the Epstein files, he is implicated in them.

Along with more than 20 sexual abuse claims against him, he was adjudicated responsible in one civil suit for sexual abuse.

He claimed on camera that he likes to grab women by their _______.

A lot of smoke

He said he didn’t know that Epstein was a pedo, the contradicted himself and claimed that he did know and thus stayed away from him.

He sent to Epstein this picture and note where he alluded to shared interests.
