“The first thing we do is, let’s kill all the lawyers,” a Shakespeare line referring to “the importance of maintaining a fair rule of law that protects the people.” The most important thing about this quote is upholding a fair & just law system. MAGA, I fear, doesn’t believe in just or fair.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

As @rustygrills & @tnhousegop beg Trump to bailout farmers, farmers are begging the tariffs to stop so they can get back to work. Why won’t Republicans stand up to him? @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @GovBillLee
