This is sick. Several of the MS13 gang members Trump traded to Bukele so he could have access to CECOT prison for deportees were actually COOPERATORS with law enforcement. He betrayed them. wapo.st/4nbNiM4

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Mike Johnson sputtering that it's no big deal that he hasn't sworn in Grivalja yet, it's such a small stupid thing, why are you people still asking about it, I can do it anytime, but no, I'm not going to do it now, or later, or anytime soon, there's no big deal here, shut up, stop asking about it

You can’t reason with unreasonable people.

That’s why I don’t waste my breath trying to talk sense into three-time Trump voters. My time is better spent with apathetic and disenfranchised voters.

I traveled to BC once and was surprised that they had to create an off ramp on the highway solely for the purpose of turning around. Canada rocks

Washington state does not need or want the president to militarize our streets.

Violent crime in Seattle and across Washington state is dropping.

I'm all for a representative democracy, but can we exclude the stupid people?

No. No we can't.

And that is the problem with a representative democracy.

Donald Trump keeps posting images of him as a king and the legacy media ignores it as if it is normal. It is not. It is dangerous.

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.

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."
