Bravo, well done!! I'm not sure that most of Trump's people are bright enough to know that this is irony!

In truth a "reformed ICE agent grifter" would still be better than the imbecile we have in office now.

The claim that they are afraid of the mostly incoherent sentences coming from the mouth of a vulgar, fat, demented old man. Collectively, they could stop him and render him mostly powerless but they choose not to. There is strength in numbers as today's protests will prove.

“A trial was a crapshoot & we just want d the guy to go to jail” A trial is ALWAYS a crapshoot. Is ABC inferring Acosta is absolved of wrongdoing because of this? And what’s with “The dems knew all this & lied”?

It's not just the eyebrows-it's her entire face. But more importantly is the fact that she's hasn't been asked but is dying to show off her "talent". You can cover a bad face with make up but you can't cover up a bad singing voice. She need to realize there is a reason she wasn't asked.

Santos is a waste of good air. The fact that he is now living and breathing free isn't worth commenting about. His ability to grift certainly qualifies him to be a Trump cabinet member.

There is nothing about John Bolton that I admire or like but this has to be the most ironic indictment ever. That Trump, of all people, pushed for his indictment over mishandling classified documents almost defies credibility. If he hadn't been elected, he would be in jail for the same thing.

He also said "I take no responsibility" for COVID. The Ukraine war has killed thousands just as COVID killed had already killed thousands when he decided it wasn't his problem. He must think the presidency is just meant for ceremonies, absurd pronouncements & redecorating the Oval.

And we're supposed to believe that these poor ICE bullies are being threatened and doxed so much that they have to wear masks to insure their safety?! It's like they say in the south - don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining.

This kind of reminds me of when people believed that Iraq had WMD. All one had to do then and once again recently with Trump, is read and listen carefully. It’s just not that hard.

This will certainly make him more popular since he’s lagging in the polls😆

And he suggests all of the Palistinians should be settled in the Bedouin because, well, who doesn't want to live in the middle of a desert?

nelsonnickels.bsky.social @nelsonnickels.bsky.social · 3d

Well, this is alarming. Who will be hurt in order give more to the farmers due to his idiotic tariffs? Obviously it's coming out of our taxes but in order for farmers to get more, someone else is going to get less and because it's Trump we know it won't be the uber wealthy.

This is such a load of bull***! I was part of the last No Kings rally in Chicago. It was completely peaceful, joyful, and filled with empathy. There was music and dancing. Compare that to the right's "patriots" who are currently armed, masked, manhandling people and pulling them off the streets.

I also noticed that in addition to the oval, he bedazzled this room with his tacky gold crap. It's a perfect illustration that no amount of money can buy good taste.

Incredibly patronizing.This is the way one talks to their 4 year old child.

Isn't there something just a wee bit preposterous about Eric saying "We are saving God." Not to mention the fact that real Christians would consider the statement blasphemous. Who knows maybe God will smite him...if we're lucky.

Part of her probation requirements was to write an apology letter: one to her abuser for making a false accusation and the other to police, promising she wouldn’t do it again.

But she wasn’t lying. And the way she proved it is devastating.

Please repost this story. Too many children are not believed. And too many disbelieving a**holes like Grady Judd are re-elected. I worked with abused children for nearly 10 years. It's simply not that hard to find the truth.

Everyone needs to understand this as Johnson continues to blame democrats for their not working.

Ever noticed how Trump always needs to put down someone else in order to make himself look better. He lies continuously, but most often it is accompanied by an insult regarding an enemy. He seems to think it illustrates how superior he is. He doesn't realize it only makes him look more pathetic.
