Impeach Trump for his Crimes against the People, not just Against the Bidens & Dems
(Afterwords.org) – Democrats need to take Trump’s crimes against people and the planet as seriously as those against Joe Biden. “Has Trump finally gone too far?” There’s a headline you’ve seen a thousand times. At last, Speaker Nancy Pelosi says he has. A whistleblower says Trump withheld foreign aid to Ukraine to pressure the country’s […]
