The GOP slams Dems for “Defund the police” now they want to defund the FBI & DOJ. Is Trump issuing a rallying cry to QANON scary or crazy land? Are death threats the norm for GOPers now?

WHOSE JOB IS DEMOCRACY? WITH GUEST-HOST JEFFERSON SMITH

Whose job is it to redeem ourselves from the oppression of black slavery and the genocide of Native Americans? Whose job is it to restore the middle class? So many of the most daunting challenges and exciting opportunities we face are, in a market sense? Nobody's job. You are the coalition of the benevolently irrational. The good people are doing good things for no good reason. And you are priceless. Definition of priceless?
