We have to remember that the
Liar in Chief is lying to...
everybody.
Retribution... is HIS promise.
We shouldn't be tempted act the same way!

“The people at the top — the Elon Musks, the Rupert Murdochs, and the Donald Trumps of the world — they work so hard to keep us angry and divided because our unity is a threat to their power.”

They’re freaking out!!!

Trump’s cabinet secretaries falsely claim Dems are keeping the government closed because of the “No Kings” mass protests, and Mike Johnson calls it the “hate America rally.”

The truth is: we love America, but we hate tyrants. That’s why we’re doing this.

See you Saturday.

(Same old lies, from you, trump!
Come out into the streets on Saturday! See the signs for yourself! The world is different from the crap that your handlers are feeding you.)

(p.s. They ALL want your job... !)

(Talk to the people. Ask them what they want!)

No one thought he could win once
No one thought he could win twice
No one believed he’d get away with it
No one believed he’d be on the ballot
No one accepted the grim reality
No one accepted he’d destroy humanity
No one was prepared for this
No one is stopping it

WE are the last line of defense

(Keep trying, neighbors!)
(Most of the planet is rooting

(I think that there's a news
headline within these 3 sentences. We should be pointing this out
during the MANY kidnappings being ordered by these MAGA gang members/terrorists every day!)

(Their affinity for projection
seems to be massively
pathological.)

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.
