So weak that Putin need only make a phone call and Trump is back in line. Release the Epstein files and watch Putin’s influence shrivel up.

It’s a shame there’s no more bureau of labor statistics because we won’t have any indication when this happens.

the whole point of mass protest is to demonstrate overwhelming opposition to the political direction, at a scale that can't be cracked down on

dress comfortably and stay away from anyone inciting violence, but don't let clout chasers scare you into losing sight of how the basic concept works

Doesn’t it smell odd there’s a tale of <alleged> “survivors” the day after the power drunk purged all credible media outlets? Smell it? (Oh, and the regional commander tapped out yesterday too.)

Man, the impunity is strong in this one.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

So all that hoopla on Monday touting Trump’s diplomatic savoir faire was just more bullshit? Who would ever have seen that coming?

They can demonize Dems all they want but their base is paying the same outrageous prices we are, looking for the same non existent jobs we are, watching 40 Billion sail off to Argentina, for some friends of Trump and folks, let’s not forget Shitler fucks kids and Republicans have the proof.

This is laying the groundwork for martial law. They want to join the idea of narco gangs working with dems, yeah, (real plausible) so that down the road we become one and the same. I guarantee it’s a fucking lie.

The problem with living in a world that Trump dreams up is that he is so bereft of imagination that it’s just a cheap, diseased, violent and shitty place.

Poor guy. All that winning was just too much for him.
