We are at the point where it is completely legitimate to wonder...

Who will be the first:

- American citizen
- student activist
- journalist
- college professor
- lawyer
- Democrat politician

To be deported to a foreign prison?

Trump isn't actually cutting the budget with all the firings and social program cuts.

All that "saved" money is just being redirected to building a police state to keep him in office.

When I see crap like this, I see privileged white kids whose parents segregated them with private schools while teaching them to fear anyone who doesn't look like them.

Ask them to actually name a POC and they can't even name someone who actually did them wrong.

This is what "grooming" looks like:

Just out of curiosity, I wonder how many MAGAs voted for Trump simply because they knew he would never prosecute a fellow pedophile?

Let's be honest.

This is about Hegseth being all butt hurt about the media reporting about how incompetent and stupid he is.

Oh, and for sharing that video of him doing the most pathetic pullups ever recorded.

This is what we are up against.

Tell me again how it's the "Leftists" who are grooming children.

I wonder if he regrets the Revolutionary War?

Dear @SteveScalise,

How could a rally of millions & millions of Americans simply reaffirming our founding principle of “No Kings” be a “hate America rally?” Do you not agree that we must never have kings in America? Shame on you.

Sincerely,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

The simple fact is that the only parts of the government that Trump wants to keep are those that are considered "critical" and stay open no matter what.

The military, law enforcement, etc...

He doesn't GAF about the rest of it.

As soon as the Knesset starts talking about ending his emergency powers, Bibi will start bombing again.

The war is the only thing keeping him out of jail.

Your job is pretty easy.

If the bill is good for your constituents, vote Yes.

If it isn't, vote no.

Keeping the government open is not being voted on.

Just a reminder, the deal is the same deal Biden put forward.

Okay, but what about costume recommendations?

All of these jobs should have actual legal minimum qualifications.

Mockler: Trump on his first day issued a historic and he has been subverting congress… He has absolutely been consolidating power by appointing loyalists

Jennings: All presidents appoint their supporters…

Mockler: Do they then ask their supporters to indict people…

The Boston Tea Party was a no tariffs protest.

The Declaration of Independence and Revolutionary War were no kings protests.

Nothing could be more American than another no kings protest.

I'd like to know when someone is going to ask Trump, Vance, Noem or Homan why the ICE agents who detained and put a Veteran in solitary confinement haven't been fired yet.

They're big on Eugenics.

Which is funny since Trump would have died without the best doctors and medicine available.

It had nothing to do with "superior genes."

Looks like Donnie doesn't even remember that he was still president on J6.

Scamming the FBI out of $50k isn't a crime.

Not reporting it on your taxes or lying about the source is the crime.

The question isn't whether he scammed the FBI out of $50k.

The question is whether he reported the $50k on his taxes.

That's where the crime is.
