OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Something I'm not enjoying is the president constantly looking into the camera and saying "I am breaking the law" only for the Supreme Court to go "We conclude the president isn't breaking the law"

Some do regardless, but many believe that what he is doing is what he *says* he’s doing which is deporting dangerous criminals. What he’s *actually* doing is deporting field hands, gardeners, workers, caregivers etc many of whom are here legally. Many of the 37% still believe his lies. Pathetic.

Civil rights and freedom. Pluralism and nonviolent protest.

The values Americans cherish are under assault by Donald Trump.

THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and California will keep peacefully pushing back against the Trump Administration's authoritarian takeover.

This fact that Dutch Intelligence has determined the US cant be trusted and has leaked to Russia, has proved even after 47 is long gone, the regime has squandered the world's goodwill. A third of voters care, a third didn't care to vote, and the last third can created this dumpster fire.
