Stay strong Dems! We are with you, and it is working. I can see the GOP can’t land on a message about the #GOPShutdown, & messaging is all they give a 💩 about.

1st 😫, they did a CR 13 times! 😭
2nd Crash a Dem presser
3rd Promise a “future vote”
4th Get 😡 about #NoKings rally

Bless their hearts. 🤣🤣

Rep Patronis said in re: to Schumer getting a primary & the shutdown: “It’s crazy that this is what’s the motivating factor of having a functional government. Somebodies own ego”

Said w/ a straight face. CONServatives are delusional & think people are stupid. We SEE you. We SEE Caligula.

“I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” ~ James Baldwin

Keep talking Mike Grindr. We will NOT let stand the GOPs onslaught on our democracy. Your theories R just more bullshit. #NoKings #PunchANazi

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

“YOU hit HER.”

CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

I want to thank the #GOP, especially Scalise and Mike Grindr, for advertising the upcoming #NoKings rally on 10/18. We greatly appreciate you getting the word out & calling us resistors terrorists! Please keep running your mouth. #Resist #FuckTheGOP #PunchANazi

Yours Truly,
“Terrorist Resistor”

No Kings

As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Mike Grindr said .. w/ a straight earnest face, Democrats “lack the moral fortitude to do the right thing”. This guy has the gumption to talk about moral fortitude when he is protecting pedos. When he is servile to a 34 count convicted felon. When he is a CONServative. Zero shame. Zero.

Mike Grindr called the No Kings rally the hate America rally & the Dems in the Senate R afraid of that crowd, don’t want to take heat from them, & willing to hold American ppl hostage. He said if that’s a rumor Dems should address it.

No, they shouldn’t you lying POS. They should laugh at you.

Excellent point. Returning kidnapped kids to their families is certainly the best.

No way this moron helped. No way.

What in the holy hell is a First Lady, much less this one, doing negotiating with world leaders? Does she speak for the maladministration? Who attended these negotiations? Who briefed her on our position?

This maladministration is a terrible fucking joke.

To further prove this guy is a flaming asshole, and how CONServatism is a short way of saying “I got mine, fuck everyone else. I’ll remove the rungs of the ladder so nobody else can make it” Ross Douthat said “toxic empathy”

WTF is toxic empathy? Out here making shit up. He’s insufferable!

This isn’t parody. These “experts” on #antifa are on the case.

“Days ago I was in the Portland Jail House. Now I’m in the White House. This administration is built different”

Yeah, we know dude. That’s the problem.

We are on the dumbest timeline #idiocracy

My day was made first thing this morning when the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to someone who deserves it, Maria Corina Machado.

Conniving Caligula LOST! in his quest to be as good, loved, & respected as Obama. 😀 And he lost to a brown woman. Glorious!
