Perfectly accurate.

It’s their primary agenda that keeps their unrepentant supporters believing that if things haven’t improved on the first day, they’ll improve next year—and perturbingly they’re saying so now without any recognition of the reality.
Trump knows exactly what he’s doing every time he speaks / makes a post. It’s always some sort of “us vs. them” mentality, always using dehumanizing language to reduce empathy, and ALWAYS encouraging some sort of political violence against Democrats.

Yes. The country would be in much better shape if Harris were president.

Donald Trump has said he will grant a pardon to Juan Orlando Hernández, the former Honduran president who is serving a 45-yr prison sentence in the US on drug trafficking & weapons charges. Trump’s message to pardon Hernández comes while he casts himself as being tough on combating drug problems.

I’m sorry for the National Guards who are only following orders.
Objectively, had the President not called them to serve as law enforcement officers, this tragedy would never have happened.
They seek to demagogue their way out of their own culpability.
To lose honorable people this way!

The Republican Party has to be the biggest con job in US history. It’s always been a cult. They vote Republican cause their pappy voted Republican and his pappy voted Republican etc. not educated enough to think for themselves or to even realize they vote against their own best interests.
