If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

You're spot on. I'm terrified because I have birthright citizenship cause my mom is from France. I'm scared they will find out and throw me out of this country cause he's trying to make me a non citizen.

Right. I feel so old now. This stress is kicking my ass.

I agree with you 💯. I'm already worn out. The stress has made me have seizures again and we had my epilepsy under control. But not anymore.

We need more than impeachment. I'm not normally that harsh. But I think this can only end one way.

I hate this administration so much. Things are going to get utley. We can't survive another 3.5 years of this bullshit.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

No one lies more than the orange rapist/pedophile. Except may his press secretary but she's just a parrot.

What a sociopath. You have to be extremely mentally ill to pretend you ended that many fake wars and pretend you're the only president that ended a war. JFC.

I wish I lived closer to join but I'm way up on the Canadian border in MN. Also I have to finish harvesting my soybeans that I can't sell. Ugh.

Nonsense. Some of us under 50 have serious medical problems. I have epilepsy and rely on a lot of medical care.

"Gov. Ron DeSantis, now 47, says people his age and a little bit older can get by without much preventive care."

I trust my auto mechanic more for healthcare advice than I do Ron DeSantis.

Ron DeSantis says people under 50 don’t have much use for comprehensive health insurance

'Catastrophic care' should be enough for them.
