When the President’s “friends” are Epstein Pedos, it’s time to expose them, and make new friends.
Unless he’s also that deplorable.
In which case, send them all to CECOT.

Every single Arizona Republican voted to rip away your health care and instead give $170 billion to DHS and ICE.
That money is now being funneled to private prison corporations to detain tens of thousands of human beings based on insane, fake quotas.
It’s authoritarian and deeply corrupt.

My stance with the “never Trump” right remains: These are the people who fucking built Trump. Years of shit in service of Reagan, Bush, Romney, McCain paved the way for Trump. I don’t trust them. They’re rotten. I trust the people who opposed this shit all along.

It’s wild how often we see this happening - Republican politicians or Republican voters don’t care about or realize the importance of a certain public policy issue until it immediately affects them.

Fast decisions, not fast actions.
