Trump: "Israel can say that 'we killed 50,000' and so you'd say it's a whole net set of people. And it is. They get replaced by other people. Young people."

He’s seething because we are peaceful patriots, wielding the weapons of competency, intelligence, logic, and critical thinking.

His Insurrection Act threats are moot.

Dead in the water, and he knows it.

Hold the line.

Children are dying because Trump gutted USAID and cut lifesaving foreign aid — even though it took up less than 1% of the U.S. budget.

Meanwhile, he's preparing to dole out $40 billion to prop up Argentina's failing economy, all to help out his authoritarian pal.

Priorities.

👴🏻"Ha ha! Take it Canada and Mexico! Enjoy these tariffs! And there's nothing that you can do about it! Mexico doesn't make enough pet food to feed all its pets! So you have to import US beef! You have no other choice! What are you going to do, let little Pepito go hungry? No! Art of the deal!"🤡

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Spread the word.

I think in about a decade or so, America will be buying the last vestiges of organized Trumpism and also sometime around then we'll know exactly which pivotal technology another country beat us in developing because we let the stupidest and repugnant people in our society drag us about by the nose.

Wow. All the corruption that is happening, that we don't even know about, is occurring behind closed doors! Getting rid of evidence too? The SCOTUS is corrupt and complicit by 6! This is truly scaring the shit out of me, about the absolute lawlessness of the Trump Regime.

Trump’s “historic” visit turned into a comedy show — ignored by Herzog, corrected by Ohana, and stuck with a basic glass while everyone else had stemware.

The self-proclaimed “alpha” left the room humiliated.

Congress just received another week of vacation!

Maybe this will encourage more people to run… get paid to never go to work, or doing nothing when they are at work

But if you let “terrorists” go, then you don’t care what happens to them after that, they can just come right back and do it again.

Can we please stop calling them conservatives?

What are they trying to conserve?
The environment?
No.

The American way of life?
Nope.

Let's call them what they actually are:
Regressives.

They're trying to roll back 100 years of progress.
That's their horrendous agenda.

There’s a BBQ place we always stop at on the way home but they now have a giant billboard size sign praising the president as the best ever and right about everything so we aren’t stopping there anymore. It was good BBQ ☹️
