This tired, deeply-damaged man is so needy. He has to have references to him being president on his hat, on his shirt, and on a golf-framed placard next to his overcooked cheeseburger he's almost too-out-of-it to eat.

I’ve never been a “defund the police” type of guy. I believe that police are necessary, despite their flaws.
But ICE is different. I am 100% behind ending their existence and prosecuting every single one of them.
ICE must go. End of discussion.

There should be a ban on immigration enforcement activities on school properties and anywhere there is a large population of children. Protecting our children from violence and trauma should come before the arbitrary enforcement of immigration law. The DHS Nazis are running wild!

If you believe Trump is sane, then Congress has the power to impeach.
If you believe he's not sane, then we have the 25th Amendment.
Either way - people in Congress and the Cabinet swore an oath. It's time to uphold it.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
