They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages.

They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely.

They get pardoned when they commit crimes.

They ignore the laws.

There is zero congressional oversight.

I love these simple memes. I think they're a good way of making people see how ridiculous it really is.

Creationists don't believe in evolution but think a rib turned into a woman.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

My son yelled at Newt Gingrich at baggage claim. I was embarrassed, but also proud.

Almost missed my flight to yell at Ted Cruz who was holding a press conference next to the security line at the Houston airport. Almost every single TSA agent thanked me for calling him out on his BS lies. They know Rep's are responsible for the government shutdown

Another $20 billion. That is the face you make when you heist the US taxpayers for $40 billion two weeks before your midterm elections from the most corrupt America Last regime in history.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.
