Proving that he can.

Thank you.

It would be great if more people could openly change their mind on a candidate or a position.

You can change your mind
should be a more welcomed and appreciated act.

I have been repeatedly saying that.

Tyrant toddler throwing tantrums daring someone to set some fucking limits and tell him NO
and mean it.

And give him some actual consequences.

Ffs
Please no naming it.

Describing yes.
Such as illegal addition to the White House.

Giving it a name is like accepting it.

Do not accept this.

Many people have gotten tattoos they didn’t understand the meaning of.

But you know what when they found out they got them removed or covered them up .

They’re not proud of them still displaying them .

Wtf?

No Nazis, no Nazi tattoos.

They are vacationing because they can.

No actual reason needed.

This is just a twofer bonus reason for them while enjoying a paid holiday.

I have been getting increasingly crankier about this today.

No
Just no

We are not normalizing this too.

Nazi tattoo?

Survive?
I don’t think that should even be an option.

Nope we are not normalizing nazi tattoos.
We are not suggesting considering normalizing nazi tattoos.

People normalized pedophila and rape and look what we have in the White House now.

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.

I am trying to figure out if legacy media lets Republicans lie without correction because they think it's good journalism or because they don't know the facts well enough to point them out.

Either way, if you value the truth and pro-democracy coverage, support Democracy Docket. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I don’t think some of them really believe in god.

They use god and religion like a weapon to hurt others and excuse their behavior.

Just a disgusting degenerate with the mindset of what can I get away will before someone e stops me.

I can find no adequate words for you and what you have experienced.

Support and best wishes seem so insignificant in light of it all.

I hear the enough is enough

The lack of outraged from those with influence, platforms and power not absolutely going after him with everything they have is nauseating and infuriating.

We have seen his dancing
wtf would you call attention to it with a freaking unwanted expensive ball room?

That should be a question from reporters
Sir, you can’t dance so why build this now?

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.
