BREAKING: SOUNDS OF SILENCE — Senate hearing goes deadly quiet as Trump’s federal judicial nominees REFUSE to admit third term is illegal. . Donald Trump is nominating people to lifetime federal judgeships who won't confirm that he can't run for a third term when they come before the Senate for their approval hearings. Let that sink in. Senator Chris Coons of Delaware asked what should be the easiest constitutional law question in American history at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week. He asked Trump's judicial nominees about the 22nd Amendment. The first nominee, John Marck, said that his career had been in criminal prosecution and that he hadn't had occasion to use that particular amendment. A federal judicial nominee. Unfamiliar with the 22nd Amendment. Seeking a lifetime appointment to interpret the Constitution. Another candidate eventually offered that it "deals with the two-term limitation." Correct. Gold star. Coons then asked the simple follow-up: is President Trump eligible to run for president again in 2028? Marck's response was a masterpiece of evasion: "Without considering all the facts and looking at everything, depending on what the situation is, this to me strikes as more of a hypothetical." Coons was patient. He walked Marck through it like a kindergarten teacher explaining why you can't eat paste. Has Trump been elected president twice? "President Trump has been certified the President of the United States two times." Is he eligible to run for a third term? "I would have to review the actual wording of it." A man seeking a lifetime federal judgeship needs to review the actual wording. Of the 22nd Amendment. Which is 61 words long. Coons then turned to the full panel and asked if anyone — anyone — was willing to simply state that the Constitution of the United States bars Trump from seeking a third term. A heartbreakingly long silence ensued. He asked again. Anyone willing to apply the Constitution by its plain language? More ominous silence. Nobody. Not one of Trump's judicial nominees would say out loud, under oath, in a Senate hearing, that the 22nd Amendment means what it plainly says. This isn't ignorance. These are lawyers. They know what the 22nd Amendment says. They know Trump has been talking openly about a third term. And they calculated — correctly, based on what happens to people who cross this president — that telling the constitutional truth was more dangerous than staying silent. The frightening thing is that these are the people who will be interpreting your rights for the next 30 years. Please like and share this post if you think federal judges should be willing to say the Constitution means what it says — even when the president doesn't want to hear it.

"Added J. Michael Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge who served in Republican administrations: Added J. Michael Luttig, a former federal appeals court judge who served in Republican administrations: “'This is the first time in American history that the election of a single member to Congress could well make the difference in America.' 
"Conway, Luttig says, 'is the only person in America who has been willing to take on Donald Trump every day for the past almost 10 years. … The president of the United States is scared to death of George Conway. The president of the United States is not scared of any other Democrat in this country, that’s for sure.'”

@RepJeffries @gtconway3d Let’s get the TRUMP Impeachment started as soon as Democratic majority is assured in Congress. Trump is deadly afraid of Impeachment and Conviction in the Senate followed his lifetimes of criminality in “blue” states

Jeffries Derangement Syndrome.

Trump kommt nicht zur Ruhe. Selenskyj hält stand. Meloni hält stand. Europa hält stand. Und Papst Leo schickt den nächsten Bischoff, diesmal nach West Virginia – Trumps treuester Staat – Bischoff Evelio Menjivar-Ayala. Als Teenager dreimal abgeschoben. Im Kofferraum eines Autos über die Grenze geschmuggelt. Putzte Böden in Los Angeles ohne Papiere. Heute Bischof. Ein kleiner Vorgeschmack: In einem Video erklärt er Our Lady of Guadalupe – die Schutzheilige der Amerikas. Sie erschien nicht einem Mächtigen. Sie erschien Juan Diego – einem armen indigenen Mann, ausgegrenzt von den Systemen seiner Zeit. Menjivar-Ayala sagt dazu: „Wo die Welt Bedrohungen sieht, sieht sie Kinder. Wo Mauern gebaut werden, baut sie Brücken." Leo nennt das nicht Provokation. Er nennt das Evangelium. Die Front wächst. Und sie kommt aus allen himmelsrichtungen Europas.

@ESMERALDAPANAT1 CNN is compromised by the competition with MAGA networks. This is why it tolerates it to the degree that they have this idiot on a panel. Hopefully, CNN shareholders will respond to throw him off and take on the mantle to stand for Democracy and Honesty.

FCK yes!!!!

@Will_iam_001 NOT only No but HELL NO!

🚨Public opinion poll: In your view, should ABC make the decision to remove Jimmy Kimmel from his current role/show, or allow him to continue. Please share your choice. A. Yes, he should be removed B. No, he should continue Vote now and make your voice heard!

@DavidoPolice @gfox11613 And when President Obama joked about him in the open, Trump was humiliated. By that time Trump was known to be Putin’s puppet and easily bribed.

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different. Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people. For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits. He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide. No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents. His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable. A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline. That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong. For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world. Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests. It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature. The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses. Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.

@JamesTate121 The entire Republican Party seems to be bought and paid for by Israel and/or Russia. And this includes most of their social media “influencers” 🤡

BREAKING NEWS 🆘The daughter of U.S. Republican Senator Jay Block: 🆘 "Israel pays money to my father, and he spreads propaganda. I am deeply ashamed of this situation. I believe my father has sold his soul to the devil. I hope his career ends!"

@LucasSa56947288 A …. YES!

You think CNN will get rid of Scott Jennings? (A: Yes (B: No

Trump was raping a child when she bit his penis to stop him. Trump violently hit her. That’s a small part of the FBI report inside Epstein files. FBI interviewed the victim 4 times and found her to be credible. Trump is a pedophile rapist. Drag the SOB out of the White House.

@LucasSa56947288 Yes. I despise this jerk and hi

Should CNN fired Scott Jennings immediately? (A: Yes (B: No

I’m surprised he had the balls to say any of this, but I’m glad he did!

RETWEET if you stand with James Comey.

@gtconway3d Yes, you need a lawyer. Mark Twain’s advice about representing ourselves has the ring of truth, i.e, a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.

hey do you guys think I need a lawyer

@Lina_rays1ya @Suzierizzo1 Yes

Would you still support Mr. Robert De Niro despite he opposition to Trump U.S. President? ⬇️🤔 A ) YES 🙂‍↕️ B ) NO 🙂‍↔️

I will not be distracted. Trump’s name is all over a Pedophile File. This is a huge story. His name appears third to Epstein and Ghislaine. He was more than just a pedo customer. He was a part of the enterprise. Children as young as 9 were abused and Blanche will do absolutely anything not to reveal the abusers. #DemsUnited #EpsteinClass

@strujillo075 @AngryInVirginia Yes

Retweet if you believe Donald Trump is a war criminal.
