Congress should establish a law whereby twice-impeached former presidents whose two impeachments stem from attempts to steal the presidency are not entitled to ongoing, taxpayer-funded Secret Service details for themselves, their birther wives, or their wretched adult offspring.

Every single time Republicans have been given the chance to choose America & the Constitution over a dangerously unfit, racist, reality-TV host, they’ve chosen the latter. What an utterly worthless & disgusting party.

Thank you to the Republican senators who did the right thing.
