Everyone’s focused on Trump the King

— but the real power has been “The Kingdom of Washington”. For over 45 years Constitutional Saboteurs working with Financial Overlords and Religious Extremists have ruled over the people. They have methodically been stripping away “our power” granted

Someone in their twenties is not a boy; they are men. They learned this hate from their families; it's intergenerational hate. It's time to acknowledge the real problem: the adults who enable and promote this dangerous ideology, like yourself, JD.

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

Want to know what Republicans are doing during their shutdown?

Letting Vought fire a minimum of 10,000 more federal employees.

Gee, that should be fucking fantastic for our already failing economy.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

It’s called fu’king GASLIGHTING MAGA about the “No Kings Protests”, to incite civil unrest, Jeffries! Not disinformation!

Gezzzzus Gawd!

With Trump’s teeny hard-on against China…a lot of drugs could get costly.

The ingredients for Benadryl is only made in china. It’s saved a lot of lives of those with food allergies.

It’s hard believe that 700 drugs used in the US and other countries — come from China.

➡️ Trump’s reducing prices?
