Happy Saturday, October 11, 2025!

Make sure your friends & neighbors understand what this fucking administration is doing, along w/ the right wing media "news" outlets. They are trying to invoke violence so the 🍊💩 can become an actual dictator, which they need to be their puppet figure head.

Image of Donald J. Trump, the most stupid person to live in America.

The text on the image reads
"He's so fucking stupid that he thinks magnets stop working if they get wet.
"He's so fucking stupid that he thinks exercise is bad for you.
"He's so fucking stupid he thinks windmills give you noise cancer.
"He's so fucking stupid that you don't even have to use his name.... all you have t save is 'he's of fucking stupid' and everyone immediately knows who you are talking about."

Donald J. fucking Trump is a horrible person who is lead by horrible people. He truly believes most of the BS he spews or he just makes it up and no one pushes back.

The only thing I have to add is this short video, featuring Epstein's neighbor, who witnessed Trump visiting the house where children were raped.

This little cutie is on a raw food diet. It's approved by her vet.

After a serious accident last year, it's imperative she eats wholesome, nutritious food regularly.

In this pic Jess is begging for more treats. She got a big "NO" and lots of hugs and kisses instead.

Putin said he & tRump “have understanding about where we should move & what should strive for to end Ukraine conflict”

Putin said he told tRump in Alaska he needed more time to think about & discuss it with Russia’s allies (AS YOU ONLY HAVE 3 ALLIES - BELARUS, CHINA & NORTH KOREA - TIME'S UP😈)

Chicago journalist Debbie Brockman, who was thrown to the ground & handcuffed by ICE, has been released without charges

DHS said she assaulted an officer, but eye witnesses claim she didn’t

The lack of charges makes it clear that ICE is lying to try and cover up the fact that they attack the press

Trump thinks Putin likes him. Which in part is true. Trump is a useful idiot in Putin's eyes.

“I obviously started a movement of people showing up looking ridiculous, which is the exact point. It’s to show how the narrative that is being pushed with how we are violent extremists is completely ridiculous. Nothing about this screams extremist and violent.”

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione claim he wasn't read his rights before he was questioned by law enforcement officers, and they failed to obtain a warrant before searching his backpack.

Delay. Deny. Depose.
