The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

He is so misinformed its actually not funny anymore.

Imagine if there was a real national emergency. Do you actually think he'll be able to make a serious decision? Do you think his people are giving him real facts?

Alternative Facts for an Alternative President is not the way to run the USA.
