Sadists. Truly sick people.

ICE is thoroughly un-American.

Don't you want to know—as I do—how many of these armed, masked, warrantless, insignia-less, nameless, essentially untrained Big Government goons are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Three Percenters and other J6 runoff? apnews.com/article/immi...

ICE's use of full-body restraints during deportations raises concerns over inhumane treatment

Why didn't Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? Let me count the ways
AND JUST LIKE HE CALLED BRAD RAFFENSPERGER, SECRETARY OF STATE FOR GEORGIA AND ASKED HIM TO FIND HIM ENOUGH VOTES TO WIN THE STATE, HE CALLED THE NOBEL COMMITTEE TO SEE IF HE'S GETTING THE PRIZE.

Why didn't Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize? Let me count the ways

I’ll admit to great relief that Donald Trump didn’t receive the Nobel Peace Prize, something for which he’d been shamelessly campaigning for months. I was firmly in the “anyone but Trump” camp but als...

🚫 How Israel Completely Broke the Ceasefire in 72 Hours

They bombed and killed an entire family today. Drones are everywhere. They refused to open the Rafah crossing and won't let almost anything inside of Gaza. It's the scam we hoped it wouldn't be.

Trump urged Netanyahu not to sign a deal before the election because that could help the Harris campaign.

This is a good news. I hope Newark airport does the same thing. As much as I now loathe flying, I never imagined the worst part of the trip would be being forced to watch this crap on the TV screens. They’ve never had the slightest respect for people who did not vote for them.

For nearly 250 years, things in this country were running smoothly, then Donald Trump is elected president. Now, everything has to change. We gotta put Tariffs on Everything, fire half the Federal Workforce, close Departments and go after Trump's personal enemies. How did anything work before.

Removing Trump is the only way to get rid of real ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’

WHY WOULD TRUMP PUT AN INTELLIGENT PERSON IN WITH ALL THE DUMMIES THAT HE HAS WORKING FOR HIM WHO'S ONLY REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY BE LOYAL TO DONALD TRUMP.
