Maybe Trump thinks it was the "Biden FBI" in 2021 even before he was inaugurated because he treated it like the Trump FBI before he was inaugurated this year.

One more time: As it’s not “weaponization of justice” for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to rob a bank, it’s also not weaponization of justice for law enforcement to prosecute someone who committed crimes trying to overthrow an American election.

How did Biden place those agents in the crowd if Trump was president then? Trump is making more crazy comments every day, change the subject mid sentence, slurs his speech, his right sided facial drooping, more obvious, his mental decline is increasing daily as is his physical health!

So, Trump is sending the Texas National Guard to Chicago.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

Kristi Noem is, literally, one of the stupidest people who has ever held a federal gov position.

Noem's only known talents are:

- Putting on makeup & costumes.
- Posing for cameras.
- Shooting dogs & livestock.
- Directing armed, masked men to RACIALLY PROFILE, hurt, arrest, & expel people in U.S.

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!
