Maybe Vance doesn't know this history because it's in one of the books his administration banned. The difference between Watergate and now is that back then, Republicans actually did something about a law-breaking president. Today, they only roll over for their cult leader.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Thomas Massie is spitting some FACTS right now that should SHUT MAGA UP: “I think it's ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and the White House, and we're yelling 'election fraud'? I mean, we won all the damn elections.”

I think it was just hate. By Sincerely, American: "Trump supporters say, 'We suffered 8 years under Barack Obama.' Fair enough. Let’s take a look. The day Obama took office, the Dow closed at 7,949 points. Eight years later, the Dow had almost tripled. General Motors and Chrysler were on the brink of bankruptcy, with Ford not far behind, and their failure, along with their supply chains, would have meant the loss of millions of jobs. Obama pushed through a controversial, $80 billion bailout to save the car industry. The U.S. car industry survived, started making money again, and the entire $80 billion was paid back, with interest. While we remain vulnerable to lone-wolf attacks, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully executed a mass attack here since 9/11. Obama ordered the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden. He drew down the number of troops from 180,000 in Iraq and Afghanistan to just 15,000, and increased funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs. He launched a program called Opening Doors which, since 2010, has led to a 47 percent decline in the number of homeless veterans. He set a record 73 straight months of private-sector job growth. Due to Obama’s regulatory policies, greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 12%, production of renewable energy more than doubled, and our dependence on foreign oil was cut in half. He signed The Lilly Ledbetter Act, making it easier for women to sue employers for unequal pay. His Omnibus Public Lands Management Act designated more than 2 million acres as wilderness, creating thousands of miles of trails and protecting over 1,000 miles of rivers. He reduced the federal deficit from 9.8 percent of GDP in 2009 to 3.2 percent in 2016. For all the inadequacies of the Affordable Care Act, we seem to have forgotten that, before the ACA, you could be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition and kids could not stay on their parents’ policies up to age 26. Obama approved a $14.5 billion system to rebuild the levees in New Orleans. All this, even as our own Mitch McConnell famously asserted that his singular mission would be to block anything President Obama tried to do. While Obama failed on his campaign pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, that prison’s population decreased from 242 to around 50. He expanded funding for embryonic stem cell research, supporting ground breaking advancement in areas like spinal injury treatment and cancer. Credit card companies can no longer charge hidden fees or raise interest rates without advance notice. Most years, Obama threw a 4th of July party for military families. He held babies, played games with children, served barbecue, and led the singing of “Happy Birthday” to his daughter Malia, who was born on July 4. Welfare spending is down: for every 100 poor families, just 24 receive cash assistance, compared with 64 in 1996. Obama comforted families and communities following more than a dozen mass shootings. After Sandy Hook, he said, “The majority of those who died today were children, beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old.” Yet, he never took away anyone’s guns........ He sang Amazing Grace, spontaneously, at the altar. He was the first president since Eisenhower to serve two terms without personal or political scandal. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. President Obama was not perfect, as no man and no president is, and you can certainly disagree with his political ideologies. But to say we suffered? If that’s the argument, if this is how we suffered for 8 years under Barack Obama, I have one wish: May we be so fortunate as to suffer 8 more."

This Reflecting Pool vandal had very shaky hands.

ExposeTrophyHunters Mike Deasey hunted this elephant in Namibia. He exclaimed that, 'Hunting this magnificent creature was tremendous.' Yeah, he was magnificent, now he is just dead, Mike. #BanTrophyHunting

Rescue teams are also saving pets that are under the rubble from the earthquake that hit Venezuela 😭🐕

James Robison What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it. “So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

Poor Punch looked so concerned about his wiggling tail! 🧐It kept shaking nonstop, and he even seemed to be trying to control it. Maybe the chilly weather or a little bit of anxiety was making it move on its own. Poor boy looked completely puzzled by it!"😟 🐒🐒 #punch #ichikawazoo

@MichelleObama @BarackObama Such a great family! Happy Father’s Day Mr. President!

Happy Father’s Day to my man...he shows our daughters everyday what it truly means to be a man. Thank you for setting the bar high for them.

Punch sat at the cave entrance munching the stick like crunch... crunch... 🤔🐵 With that adorable face, he looks like he's guarding the cave while simultaneously trying to eat the evidence. #punch #punchmonkey

@shillman1 Only a gazillion hours? Feels like a gazillion eternities.

Presidents Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton gathered with their First Ladies for the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. For one afternoon, decades of American political history shared the same stage. That doesn’t happen often. 💙

Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.

It was great reconnecting with our alumni tonight! Michelle and I will always be grateful for the chance to work side-by-side with so many brilliant, selfless people who believed in something bigger than themselves.

@BarackObama I loved this!

When she found this green sea turtle, the unbelievable part was that it was already 2:40 PM… which meant the turtle had been lying on its back on the beach for a very long time. Sea turtles usually come ashore to nest at night or just before dawn, so this poor turtle had likely been stuck in that position for hours! She knew it needed help, so she ran about half a mile until she found a family who could assist her (adult sea turtles can weigh hundreds of pounds, and she couldn’t flip it over by herself). Together, we worked to safely turn it back onto its right side. Then, we watched as it quickly made its way back into the ocean 🐢🌅

This is what happiness looks like..🐕🐾😍
