Just going to keep pointing out that they're openly asserting that they think any criticism of the president is tantamount to "hating America" which is, itself, an insult to American values.

It’s horrifyingly clear that the GOP and those identifying as MAGA are placing sexual abuse and sex traffickers/trafficking ahead of concerns for both the victims and the American public. It says the GOP/MAGA are both complicit and are hiding the truth. Expose them and the Epstein files.

What does it mean that someone doesn't "look American"?
"ICE determined she was an undocumented immigrant because she didn’t “look like” a Greeley. Greeley, who was born in Illinois, is Latina and adopted. She had her U.S. passport on her when she was detained."

She even had her U.S. passport on her.

The fishing joke kills….just ask the Trinidadian dudes murdered yesterday to serve as a punchline for oligarchs laughter. WH is like a comedy club from hell (or a bro comic festival in KSA). This country is sh*t.

Trump kills funding previously appropriated by Congress for one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country because it involves NY and NJ, while Republicans ask for Dem votes on future government funding while refusing to talk to Dems about it.

TRUMP’S NEW CIVIL WAR IS AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY: He’s defunding cities, threatening troops, and weaponizing courts to break democracy itself.

Speaker Johnson calls this “love.”

Madison called it what it is: tyranny.

New Substack 👇

NO KINGS: TRUMP’S WAR ON AMERICA

He’s punishing cities, choking dissent, and twisting love into hate. This isn’t law and order — it’s the rehearsal for tyranny.

The government shutdown is forcing working families to make impossible choices. Do they pay rent, buy groceries, or pay their electric bill?

Federal workers are not political pawns. They’re essential.

Fund the government.
Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.

NO KINGS IN AMERICA… 😎 @jerasikehorn.bsky.social · 5h

No, we don't want "free" healthcare.

We want universal healthcare paid for by our taxes that covers everyone and leaves no one bankrupted and sick.

This isn’t difficult to comprehend.

kirk was tasked and paid millions to groom our young adults into these young Republican beliefs. (Just as Von Schirach did for hitler. I suppose Hitler gave him a medal for it too).He and others twisted and perverted Christianity to support exactly what you read here.
