Can someone on a Sunday show interviewing a Republican member of Congress please play a damn montage of Trump, Vance and Hegseth making speeches to active duty military trashing Democrats and ask them if they think that is appropriate?

Asking for a Republic.

The orange turd is so used to his own rally's with no one there that he mistook ours for one like his own. What a rotten POS.

Some of the first pictures from #NoTyrants #Oslo. In solidarity with Americans protesting around the world, we came together to show we love America and Trump and his trolls will not silence us! ✊

We can't lower the cost of healthcare or give children free breakfast/lunch at school, or house the unhoused.
But we CAN afford:
$172M for 2 private jets for Kristi Noem
$250M Ballroom
$2M Patio
$1B to update a "free jet"
$3.3M weekend golf
$6M for Hegseth to berate the military
.....

There’s nothing more American than saying, NO KINGS‼️

REPUBLICANS ABOUT JANUARY 6: “A gathering of tourists.”

REPUBLICANS ABOUT THE NO KINGS PROTEST: “A hate rally.”

They praise the mob and condemn the movement. You see what they’re doing, right?

Gawd! She is such a nasty POS. I hate that my tax dollars are used for anything for her. When are the states going to stop paying federal taxes so we don't have to worry about where our money is going without our consent.

"I think there's no question that Donald Trump wants [John Bolton's] prosecution to proceed because that book makes [Trump] look like a fool. ... The classified information allegedly in the drafts wasn't the issue, the issue was that Trump didn't like how he knew Bolton was going to portray him."

I remember every day Seth what a rotten POS the orange turd is. I don't know how anyone could forget until we get him out of office with all the rest of the vermin he has appointed.

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.
