called for #INCLUSION?
The result of which gave us DJT, riding down the elevator in the Summer of 2015.

Both address Texas 2026, the need for honest conversations, & the overall DEM Party's refusal to hear & acknowledge some ugly truths.

Hi Mr RoadRules...
Nobody cares about how you decorate your damn office!

However, I DO care about the Denver Airport losing communication for 2 MINS on Monday! My partner flew into Denver on Monday. He flies 3x's a month.

Get your priorities straight... Idiot!

Not only do I want honesty, imho, TX DEMS must accept that at a bare minimum that a Centrist GOPer (proven non-MAGA) is better than Abb, Pax, or Pat.
By demanding honesty, we should expect it on every side of the conversation. We have to be realistic about the current political climate in TX.

Just FYI because evidently Fox or OAN or whatever is pushing the lie that America accepted the Statue of Liberty and that’s equivalent to the plane.

Congress VOTED to approve receiving the statue. So congress should vote on the jet

I truly understand everyone's anger & frustration at the media. I am, too.

However, I believe we're overlooking a crucial fact: if the media didn’t report on the current state of politics, we'd be clueless.

We are pushing to hold everyone else accountable, except ourselves.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Unfortunately, if an individual is on pain management or takes mental health meds, ordering early isn't an option.

The same applies to people who get their meds through the mail.

It’s only a matter of time before one of these street assaults leads to a shoot out.

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them.

They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps.

Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.
