🔥POWERFUL AD ABOUT ICE AGENTS: “What will you say when your kids ask you about your day? A mask can’t hide you from your neighbors, your family, God… you can walk away, but the shame will follow you home.”

I recall it was Trump making that disastrous deal to leave Afghanistan, and left it for Joe to implement with no time on the clock. And about the shooter, maybe he came here during Biden's time but he became "legal" under Trump, (April) so how will he spin this?

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

It is a Nazi eagle.
With typical lack of self-awareness, the narcissistic and stupid Donald Trump reposts an image of himself wearing a crown while sitting on a throne with a Nazi eagle. Hardly a denial of the accusation that he's a Nazi who thinks he's a king.
