Doing all I can to expose and ridicule the rotten pedophile, GOP and SCOTUS. There’s a strong arm robbery of America occurring and I’m on the case! Retired NYPD Detective. Time to take back our country from these malignant scumbags.👊

I think the mistake everyone is making is in not recognizing that trump is forging a new alliance w/Russia and China on power.He wants to be a real strongman leader like them.
They’ll be divvying up the world and who then can stop it? Our traditional allies know this is happening.
I wish I was wrong

There’s a handful of companies propping up the market now and it won’t take much to expose the whole house of cards to devastation.

Can’t fire everyone for calling in sick. I was a union rep in the NYPD and that’s what we did as well as not writing any summonses for a week or so. Unsafe or suddenly disabled vehicles also contributed. There’s a thousand ways to slow work to a standstill without an actual strike or walkout.

Amen. Every generation has to fight for their rights and freedoms. Their arrogance and our resistance will defeat them once again.

No wonder Trump wants Mitt Romney's synopant, Nigel Farage occupying 10 Downing Street. Can't have Israel being held accountable for damages and genocide.

172% of Voters Cast Ballots in Palm Beach Precinct 1716? Now That's Some Fuzzy Math.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
