With the capacity of a 4yr old. It's unconscionable. Leaving children on the side of the road when parents are taken. Taking minors period is inexcusable. No training, proper facilities, child welfare or disability specialists. Barbaric

Inflation has been “defeated,” according to the lying sack of shit who’s never heard the word ‘groceries’ before…

Trump says inflation is 'defeated' and the Fed has cut rates, yet prices remain too high for many

Yet, sadly, a lot of stupid people read it, just as they watch Fox, which is similarly bullshit.

Also for clarification; Qatar recently bribed our stupid president with the 'gift' of a new Air Force-1, which needs expensive security refits on US taxpayers' dime. And those military personnel are currently not being paid because Republicans want to cheat Americans out of affordable healthcare.

Trump War Chief Hegseth Pushes Back After MAGA Backlash To Foreign Base

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has sent out a "clarification" after major MAGA backlash over news that the U.S. will host a Qatari air force facility on U.S. soil.

Though often misattributed to Sinclair Lewis, it's still true:

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross. #FascistAmerica #FuckTrump

It's not long before he literally outlaws the Democratic Party.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 1d

Trump openly promising mass firings of civil servants “because they’re Democrats” is pure authoritarianism. The civil service exists to be nonpartisan—to protect the country, not Trump’s ego.

Yeah, right.
No one has the balls to arrest him.

This is hardly the first time he's defied a federal court, either.

Abducting a child. Jeezus Christ.

This is nothing but kidnapping under little more authority than a goddamned plastic Halloween badge.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
