I mean abolish the entire Homeland Security Department and all its pieces and put the pieces back where they were before Homeland Security was established. If a piece didn’t exist before, abolish it too (Homeland Security Police)

Yep when Trump says he loves coal miners he means the guys who own mines — as always the little guy was good for conning out of a vote and after that the mass grave.

If journalists and reporters have to start reporting like they’re in a 3rd world dictatorship or in a war zone so be it. If that’s what it takes to get the truth, do it. Don’t bend the knee to the regime or that jackass Hegseth. You’ll be worthless if you do.

You are so spot on! He has no style, no decorum, he’s crass, and too many big words for the bloated Twinkie to say in a post. He has to resort to using fourth grade grammar. (No offense to the fourth graders out there…)

You know MAGA is an incestuous cult because the entire world, especially Palestinians, realizes Israel just played Trump and there's no "peace in the Middle East."

However, Trump gets his ego stroked, and MAGA Reeks get to praise their King for a day.
