A building isn’t as important as the people his administration has murdered but there’s something breathtaking about seeing them literally demolish parts of the White House. I can’t stop looking at it

He gave $40B to a foreign dictator, millions for Noem’s jets, he’s trashing the White House for a ballroom and we’re just trying to survive. There should’ve been more than 7 million in the streets on No Kings Day. Come at me but you know I’m right.

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.”

Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

🚨 A woman walking to work in Chicago gets snatched up off the street by ICE. Nothing American in this video. She keeps asking for help over and over. All she gets is a photographer taking her picture and hauled off like an animal. 1/2
