Trump's MAGA supporters all fired up after listening to Trump minutes earlier.

Such anger, hate, and destruction. They also hung a noose for VP Mike Pence.

This is who MAGA is. They are angry, murderous, hateful, and violent people who take their cue from their only leader, Trump.

Mike Johnson is Trump's errand boy. He has no other function than to do what he was told.

Mike doesn't have to worry, though. He is still getting a paycheck and healthcare. So he can continue collecting a check and not conducting the people's business.

He forgot who pays his salary. Or did we?

Russell Vought and the rest of the Project 2025 architects should be very careful what they wish for. The results will be traumatizing, but it may also yield unexpected results.

If you are a federal worker or military member going without pay there is normally some help to be found, a lot of mortgage companies will give you a month (or more) of reprieve. Some banks are more lenient than others, but make these calls first before taking more drastic measures.

Trump wanted this shutdown. When he created DOGE and gave his buddy Elon free reign to dismantle our government departments and fire people, THAT was just the beginning.

Trump wants to fully demolish our system in compliance with Heritage Foundation's Project 2025.

The playbook to Fascism.

NEVER FORGET: A few short weeks ago, a heartless Donald Trump told Bibi Netanyahu to "FINISH THE JOB" which would have meant certain death for all the hostages.

Now that Trump stands to make BILLIONS he's become the Peace President?!!! NO!!!! It does not work that way! The hypocrisy is NOT OK!!!
