The MAGAts will never notice.

Just like Hillary was the mastermind behind the Russia "hoax". She hacked her own emails and kept it all a secret so she could lose the election.🤦‍♀️

They "unfired" the CDC employees when they figured out what a gigantic mistake that idiot Russell Vought had made. The Trump Administration is one idiot show after another. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/h...

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

It's dangerous to say, but since it is true, it's more dangerous to not say: The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body. It's been deliberately and systematically captured by ideologues on behalf of an anti-Constitutional project, and its extremist members have been bribed.

It's like Donald wakes up each morning and asks himself, "What would Hitler do?"

Because the Nazis were notoriously vicious to children with special needs.

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...
