I saw this car with the Donald Decal in the window. I’ve never seen these before.

What do you think is the point?

Red car parked in the parking lot at the hospital I was at today. There’s a decal on the shotgun window with a picture of Donald to make it look like maybe he’s in the car with this person? It just looks like a decal to me.

US District Court Judge Sara Ellis ordered ICE field director Russell Hott to appear in court Monday to answer questions re: the use of tear gas in residential areas despite her order limiting the use of tear gas. But he returned to DC that same day on a "planned return."

I’m hoping for sanctions.

What BS!

Also antisemitic

If the right wing is going w/ this, that George Soros bankrupted himself paying for protesters to attend Saturday’s No Kings events, how will they explain the even larger number of protester who will attend the next No Kings rally?

www.borowitzreport.com/p/george-sor...

A picture of the first page and headline from an article in the Borowitz report claiming that George Soros has to file for bankruptcy because more protesters attended the No Kings rally, but he paid them anyway because the deal a deal. Now apparently, George Soros is declaring bankruptcy. The headline is “George Soros declare the bankruptcy after paying no King’s protesters.”

The first paragraph says: “George Soros has been forced to declare bankruptcy after paying over 7 million people to attend the old Kings process, the billionaire confirmed on Monday.“

The Santos commutation may be a prelude to us discovering that Marjorie Taylor Greene has agreed to take her name off of the discharge petition for the release of the Epstein files. She’s the only person I know of who was pushing for Santos to get the commutation. And Donald won’t do it for free.

Kamala Harris commends 'the President' in Middle East statement, but omits Trump's name

FoxNews is really amplifying what whiny babies the GOP has become.

Now it’s not enough to thank the president or credit him, you must mention the president by Name when you do so or it doesn’t count.

As fascism thrives w/ FoxNews’ aid, will not mentioning the Pres by name soon be a serious crime?

Former Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement on the hostage release and ceasefire, but did not use President Donald Trump's name
