Not one.

A landscape photograph with text over the top. The image shows open green land with trees dotted about from the bottom of the photo across left to right, in the middle there is a hill and creeping above the hill is the sun rising or setting soaking the image with warm orange and lighter colours where the rays hit.there is white text over the image including a quote and the response. The quote text says:
“They don’t come here legally.”
The response says:
I don’t give one single fuck.

Vance's notion of Catholicism and my notion of Catholicism are two different things.

JD Vance was fed by the government as a child, and now he wants to pull that ladder up behind him.

I was raised in the Catholic Church - eight years of Catholic school. People like Vance are the reason I stopped going to church.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

These guys get $50k signing bonuses.

Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos.

They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces.

They’re swinging assault rifles around in public.

Good morning.

It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

It really doesn't matter that the picture is of the Truman Renovation. As soon as Burchett posted it and claimed it was during the Obama Administration, it was seared into the MAGA hive mind.
