Then what is the point of the DNC?

They appropriate funds from Pacs.
They announce candidates.
They exproptiate control.

So, their bylaws, what neuter them after making a decision?

Agencies: hey, watch us break the law! "Experts in employment law have previously cautioned that the politically divisive language shared by government agencies appeared to violate the Hatch Act, a law devised to ensure that the federal work force operates free of political influence or coercion."

Trump wants to aggressively develop more coercive power over the American people, the ability to physically harm citizens, to legally and financially harm us, to punish independence and freedom.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

We, the people, are the weather mast. We point fervently against fascism.

They'll give us information about our issues, but their own policies are now top secret.

At least for most formerly allied nations.

In the future, we may be isolated entirely by our own means.

Also, for what it's worth, I believe trump knew about Israel's actions as it wasn't a first in Qatar.

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

The dude spent his entire time there shouting slurs and bullshit.

I just imagine the not self induced trip was likely one of the people he was disparaging.

Twerp is what you call a sibling who annoys you.

That man is fucking disappointment as a person and as a politician.

He doesn't represent people, just the pedophile in charge.

The answer is yes, and California as a whole has more secure and engaging international relations and policies than the rest of America.

On Jan 6, MAGA insurrectionists smeared feces on the halls of Congress.

Today, the MAGA cult leader Donald Trump posted an AI generated video of him smearing feces on peaceful protestors.

Trump is not an aberration of modern day conservatism—he’s a manifestation of it.

I saw just one protest of multiple in NYC it spanned more than 8 blocks wall to wall bodies protesting.

Bullies don't know how to respond to non-violent replies.

They only know how to use force against force.

Their force in the face of farce is paralyzed.

It's not a likelihood. This regime is compromised from the potus to the podcaster backers.

They've taken Russian, Israeli, Qatari, U.A.E. money that we know of, and likely much more we don't.
