Yeah because that’s how you stop waste fraud and abuse.
By making it Official US Policy.

That’s all this corrupt bunch of scumbags are good at.

Exactly. I bought a chainsaw once at a garage sale in Colorado.
I don’t even live in Colorado.
lol
Best $25 I ever spent.

Question: when he gave that speech / I saw no teleprompter (watching on my phone) is that true?
He did that without a script?

I’d just like to say that he did that speech without a teleprompter as far as I could tell.
That was impressive.

Trump is getting away with this - which means he’s going to try the same thing inside the U.S.
That raid on the apartment building that yielded 1 (one) supposed gang member - next time he’ll just hit the building with a drone and claim every person in the building was a gang member.

The Democratic *Leaders* HAVE already endorsed Mamdani.

Many people are saying it.

Exactly!
If a Chicago police chief ordered our cops to do what Stephen Miller has ordered ICE to do - that Police Chief would be charged immediately.
What’s stopping Illinois State police from arresting the leaders of ICE here in Chicago? An illegal order is an illegal order.

Let’s add this to the long list of things that we can’t trust republicans to be honest about.
Justice Sotomayor should swear her in - screw mike Johnson.

For President AOC I will make sure the wrecking ball stays away!

Real_I_am_Groot @realimgroot.bsky.social · 4d

I didn’t think they made a “Boys: Size M” suit in that color.

Who’s less secure? Mike Johnson or Stephen Miller?

When JFK was president people had a bit of optimism that the kids they had would experience a better life.

Then these numbnuts took over - and optimism is as hard to find as affordable housing.

I’m no prophet - but I bet reproduction picks up again after the “Obituary of a Lifetime.”

Real_I_am_Groot @realimgroot.bsky.social · 4d

Talk about ironic! A short video clip of people explaining both THAT people aren’t having kids - while also being an example of WHY people aren’t having kids. lol

That’s good branding. Everyone knows what that is.

It’s really hard to pretend to be on his side while still fuming about trump getting away untouched for doing much worse - including sharing top secret documents with strangers while admitting that he couldn’t declassify them. (At Bedminster. And Garland can still go F himself for that.)

Come to think of it - Mitch did start it all. And one of the things he started was Democrats’ reputation for pushing back NEVER and enforcing absolutely NOTHING.

Real_I_am_Groot @realimgroot.bsky.social · 4d

Yeah that looks like a great place to have on our national mall. 🙄

Tear it down.

They’re SO desperate to divide liberals up. It’s weird.
How much is aipac going to end up spending against Mamdani?

I’m not going to argue about what being a billionaire is like - lol - I have no experience.

Let’s agree to agree that we should structure our tax system so that people max out somewhere *below* a billion dollars? I’m big on public education. Let’s put their excess income into public schools.

Before the strike of 12:01:00 pm on Inauguration Day, the next time a Dem wins the presidency - the biggest blue-painted wrecking ball ever swung, needs to hit that effing tacky trashy ballroom.

“It’s hard to trust republicans.”

The new most obvious statement on earth.

Real_I_am_Groot @realimgroot.bsky.social · 4d

While I agree with that-
Saying they’re all the same is no different than saying any other group is all the same.
It’s never true.

They tell everyone that Dems are refusing to “open the govt” because they want “illegals” to get Medicare…

A bold faced lie.

The next sentence is: “Open the govt and we’ll negotiate on the healthcare subsidies.”

As if anything or anyone can make republicans seem trustworthy.
