Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

Be cognizant of the fact that while James Comey was being indicted for lying to Congress…

Pam Bondi was lying to Congress.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

I believe the people that are going to gather are what we used to call “the real Americans“ before little Eichman and his band of deviants took over the government

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

“WTF IS AMERICA FIRST ABOUT ALLOWING QATAR TO HAVE A MILITARY BASE ON US SOIL? This is an abomination. So much for ‘Make America Safe Again.’ By letting funders of HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood have a military base on US soil. Un-f***ing believable.”

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.

Then ask yourself “why was it in the Big Ugly reconciliation bill? No democrats signed this package and republicans carried through and passed on their own?”

Mike Johnson: "It's about keeping Congress operating so we can get to healthcare. We always were going to. They're lying to you. Okay? The healthcare issues were always gonna be something discussed, deliberated, contemplated, and debated in October and November."

Tariffs are a tax without representation which is unconstitutional. Congress must approve tarrifs and so it will be interesting to see what knots the SC ties itself into to say what the 🍊🤡 has done on tariffs is legal

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
