When someone says, “I am a Christian Nationalist”, what they are really saying is that they are neither legitimate Christians nor real Americans.

Americans let people choose their own beliefs—not use force to have the state choose for them.

Has there ever been more vile movement than MAGA? It’s a criminal enterprise comprised of liars, con artists, and grifters—plus the deluded fools who serve as their apologists. Here are the two top headlines today, underscoring my point.

President Donald Trump is largely responsible for the shooting of two members of the National Guard in Washington, DC. He was repeatedly warned that deployment put their lives at risk—and he arrogantly did so anyway.

Trump’s sabotage of Ukraine is also the deliberate undermining of America. It is the biggest betrayal of our country since Benedict Arnold. Trump is a Russian tool—and his allegedly pro-America movement cheers as he appeases and surrenders to Putin.

There is no such thing as a Christian Nationalist. Just arrogant fascists who want to take away our personal right to choose our beliefs—and have Big Government choose them for us.

Real Americans say, HELL NO.

One thing we aren’t thankful for on Thanksgiving is Trotsky Trump, Vladimir Vance, Marx Rubio and Steve Stalin Witkoff selling out Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Why do these traitors always put Russia First? They do so at the expense of America’s national security and global stability.

An Aug. 12, memo from D.C. National Guard commanders said that the mission ”presents an opportunity for criminals, violent extremists, issue motivated groups and lone actors to advance their interests.”

Yet, Trump deployed, anyway. Trump directly put the Guard in harms way.

Today, Donald Trump gave a middle finger to the LGBTQ community and others. His deplorable cancellation of World AIDS Day commemoration was unconscionable and unforgivable. This action was fueled by raw bigotry and fealty to his Project 2025 masters.

FIGHT.

Ever since @mtgreenee was called a traitor by Trump, the MAGA universe has devolved into an ass kissing festival. It’s a sycophantic loyalty contest with North Korean vibes. Visit their toady influencers to see the Circus of Suck-Ups.

Trump is likely a Russian asset, possibly an agent and most definitely Putin’s useful idiot. His latest extortion “peace plan” with Ukraine proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Trump’s perfidious selling out of Ukraine will bring everlasting national shame. The President is the appeaser in chief and a Putin Puppet—certainty a Russian asset or maybe a full blown agent. Trump humiliates Ukraine, endangers Europe and undermines American national security.

“There is only one reality, and it is time to confront it. America is no longer the leader of the west, let alone the rest of the world. It is run by a wannabe king who uses the invasion of an ally as an opportunity for profit, who lies, cheats and backstabs his friends.”

Sen. Mitch McConnell warned that “Putin has spent the entire year trying to play President Trump for a fool.” [We agree. Trump is a puppet and Putin’s useful idiot. He doesn’t believe in democracy or freedom at home. So, he’s willing to backstab Ukraine.]

Donald Trump is a divisive thug and a foe of American democracy. His threatening lawmakers is outrageous, unpatriotic and unacceptable. He seems to think he’s the president of Russia.

The Heritage Foundation is a garbage org filled with radicalized extremists. It plays footsie with fascists. It claims to support nationalism—but then kowtows to Nazis. If the toxic group is America First, why are their views so unAmerican?

When will the @ABAes push for the disbarment of Lindsey Halligan? She is making a mockery of the legal profession. The time for inaction, fear and silence are over. The ABA should recommend, to the appropriate state, Halligan never practices law again.

One wonders whether the Trump administration tampered with the Epstein Pedo-Files. Does anyone doubt that corrupt @FBIDirectorKash and epic brown-noser @AGPamBondi would manipulate the files or purge incriminating information, if asked? Americans have no faith in these toadies.
