@mail_american @NormOrnstein Since 1945, Republican administrations increased the national debt more and ran higher deficits than Democratic administrations. By a lot. Republican fixation on the national debt is pure hypocrisy.

@ResisterSis20 You can thank the blatantly biased and political Supreme Court for much of this. Trump should be have been tried and convicted in the DC case by now but for their inexcusable delay of that case by the taking then slow walking the immunity appeal.
