Lowest of the low. Did anyone else catch this discussion in the Senate from a couple of days ago?

Essentially in this short clip Sen. Ossoff is pointing out a recent fund-raising ploy by our dear president. He is offering a photo-op to donors in front of a flag-draped military coffin. That is some truly sick krap. This may have shown up here earlier and I may have missed it, but it seriously needs to be shouted out, high and low.

For Money, Prestige, and Access.
Let the cowards deny that they are actively belittling any attempt or proposal to help most of the US or even pointing out when something is unlawful, Unconstitutional, or just outrageously corrupt while fawning or providing cover for thin-skinned Red Hat "Conservatives" who are blatantly lying.
Providing cover for destructive stupidity, corruption, and lies that are actively killing innocent people and destroying opportunities and resources across the Country -and the World is both Corrupt and Cowardly.
They are no longer the Press. They are D list actors.

A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.”

The email, sent by Never Surrender, Inc., promotes what it calls a “National Security Briefing Membership” and urges recipients to “claim your spot” with multiple links to donate, in what it describes as an exclusive group receiving updates about national security threats.

It promises that members will “receive my private national security briefings, unfiltered updates on the threats facing America. The straight truth on border invasions, foreign adversaries, deep state sabotage, and every danger the fake news hides.”

The message includes an official White House photograph showing Trump saluting during a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base, a solemn military tradition honoring fallen US service members. Trump attended alongside members of his administration.

A flag-draped transfer case, which is used to transport soldiers’ remains, is visible in the photo.

I am so sick of this demented man and all those who support him.
How much money is enough. This is one of the worst things I have read.
To any of his supporters, shame on you. Do you have no conscience? Do you read or view anything he is doing? One thing after another, I have lost friends and family as I try to inform them.
Yes, I have MAGA's in the family. We don't talk or phone any more. If I try and inform them, I get a laugh and the comment "lets not talk politics", I won't give up but it is sure discouraging.

If the Republicans refuse to impeach this piece of trash, may they land in the trash heap of history with him. We need a more powerful movement. Now.
