Husband/girl dad with faith that democracy is the way to go; still idealistic enough to believe it's achievable. The only thing I'm selling is democracy. Banned (3x!) by the fowl site for calling out GOP lies.

They go after Walz for tampons. You know fucking what? I’d rather have the guy who makes tampons available than the guy who raped girls before they even needed them.

Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.

What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.

This warmongering has got to stop.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

Probably time to loudly repeat that members of the military must not follow illegal orders. The US is not at war with Venezuela and has no right to threaten aircraft in its airspace, let alone shoot anything down.
Donald J. Trump @ & @realDonaldTrump To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 5.46k ReTruths 23.2k Likes 11/29/25, 7:43 AM

Trump is going to grant a "full and complete pardon" to drug trafficker and former Honduran President Juan Hernandez. Meanwhile, Trump is executing drug traffickers in the Carribean. Let that sink in.

The GOP is shocked, shocked! to find bigots in its midst. Let the MAGA war against itself rage on.

That's the Taliban. They didn't carry out 911.

You know who carried out 911? Al-Qaeda.

You know who sent OBL to Afghanistan in 1996 to fight the Taliban? Bill Epstein Clinton.

You know who ignored Taliban requests to extradite OBL? Bill Epstein Clinton?

Meanwhile, Trump is shaking hands with the head of Arab Al-Qaeda.

You & Liz 'daughter of terrorist warlord Dick' Cheney had a lot to say about him greeting the Afghan Taliban

Why are you silent about him literally shaking hands with the Arab terrorist group that carried out 911?

You got the memo?

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

This is a lot of words to say, “Yikes! That Washington Post story about us illegally killing survivors on the open seas was 100% correct!”
Post See new posts Conversation Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland. As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization. The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them. Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command. Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back. 6:42 PM · Nov 28, 2025 · 322.3K View
