New poll finds nearly half of Americans think Trump should end campaign after conviction

The recent poll findings indicating that nearly half of Americans believe that Trump should end his campaign after conviction come as no surprise to me. As someone who values integrity and honesty in political leaders, the idea of supporting a candidate with a criminal record is unacceptable to me. The fact that only half of Americans feel this way is disheartening and reflects the deep political divide in our country.

For years now, Trump has been embroiled in controversy after controversy, yet his unwavering base of supporters continues to stand by him. The Republican party seems unable or unwilling to hold him accountable for his actions, even as his legal troubles mount.… Continue reading

Lauren Boebert flips out over question about Beetlejuice groping footage: ‘A very private moment’

A private moment in a public theater. Sounds contradictory, doesn’t it? Yet, that’s exactly what right-wing Rep. Lauren Boebert tried to argue after a question was raised about her infamous “Beetlejuice groping session”. Claiming it was a “very private moment”, Boebert shifted blame onto the moderator for supposedly violating her privacy.

As I reflect on the recent news surrounding Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his controversial response to the Jan. 6 flag displayed outside his home, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of disappointment and frustration. The blatant denial and deflection of responsibility exhibited by Alito in this situation is just as disheartening and concerning as the act of flying the flag in the first place.

The implications of Alito’s actions, or lack thereof, are disturbing on multiple levels. The fact that a sitting Supreme Court Justice would openly support and condone the violent insurrection that took place on Jan.… Continue reading

‘I’d do it again’: Rudy Giuliani says he’s proud of the actions that got him indicted

Reflecting on the recent statements made by Rudy Giuliani, it’s truly disheartening to witness such a lack of remorse and accountability from someone who was once regarded as America’s Mayor. Giuliani proudly declares that he would do it all again, despite the fact that his actions have led to his indictment. This level of arrogance and disregard for the rule of law is deeply troubling.

One can’t help but wonder how someone who achieved so much good for New York City could end up becoming such a despicable figure. Giuliani’s fall from grace is truly astonishing. He was once seen as a fighter against corruption and crime, but now it seems that he may have been one of them all along.… Continue reading
