Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

If ICE tries to arrest you, tell them you work for the Colombian Mafia who are watching you right now, and if any harm comes to you, or if they arrest you, the Mafia will follow them home and may God have mercy on them. Scream out into the crowd, “Luwindo, they’re taking me.” 👠

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

It’s funny how they always ‘find’ immigrants at work, not drinking, not causing trouble, not breaking laws, just working. In work zones, not in welfare lines, not begging for money, but earning it. Hardworking people getting punished for doing the jobs most others won't. Tallahassee, Florida USA
