While the regime is getting rid of many essential Federal workers that are needed for the good of the nation. The regime is keeping all the overpaid non-essential Federal workers like ICE.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The regime is trying to broadcast that the problems in America are caused by Democrats, especially at airports.

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

Since the Convicted FElon took office, the military lost many of the qualified leaders because of either "DEI", or the regime didn't like the leader, or they resigned or retired.

MAGA idiots will be out Saturday to cause chaos, so they get the regime to declare the Insurrection Act & Martial Law. Don't allow them to get their way. Stay peaceful, sit down & be quiet if they are around you.

Remember to keep the Protests peaceful. Let the regime get out of control so WE can sue billions of $ from them. It's time to make the Ultra Rich poor.

Mrs. Betty Bowers @mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 17h

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Sadly, 60% of veterans voted for the Convicted FElon & didn't believe in Project 2025. Project 2025 is going to FUCK VETERANS OVER!!

The MAGA wanted an alternative to the Bad Bunny halftime show. So Turning Point USA said they will have a halftime show of their own, old men with tiny dicks & balls, signing their songs from 40 & 50 years ago.
