Lauren Boebert is running for reelection in Colorado. Her main bid to voters this year? Government transparency on aliens. And before you ask: nope, I'm not talking about the "illegal" kind.

Everyone should read the indictment against Tish James, it's a joke. The total she's alleged to have "defrauded" the bank on her mortgage loan was like a few thousand dollars lol. Even if this goes to trial and she's convicted, the penalty will be a fine of what she owes and a slap on the wrist.

Beginning to age her? She's almost 60 years old. I think time is what's beginning to age her. Well, that and the black hole where her heart is supposed to be.

This is still just the mid-phase point of the MAGA-Nazi agenda. Wait until people find out what happens at the end of project 2025...

God love the Norwegians and their ability to choose a Peace Prize recipient who isn't Trump. In other news, Norway begins preparations for being nuked off the map later this afternoon as the orange chimpanzee throws ketchup at the walls in anger.

You know what TX having already sent their troops into Illinois means, right? That thing you're afraid of already happened. It's not the start of something of IL to retaliate, it started the moment TX sent their troops across the IL border. Texas has invaded IL. Time to fight back.

BTW $20 billion could house every homeless person in the country multiple times over. It's more important to Trump for Argentinian citizens to have free Healthcare than for our homeless Vets to have a roof over their heads.

Trump just sent $20 billion to bailout Argentina's social Healthcare system. Your tax dollars are now paying for Argentinians to get free Healthcare, meanwhile you still do not get free Healthcare.
Trump puts #AmericaLast as always.

Seconded! God, this is another one of your children you've never heard from here. (Hi, hello!) I would also like this very much. Greta should get the prize, even if the only reason is to make Trump cry.

Or... you could just do that thing we all want. You know the one I mean 😏

The Nobel Peace Prize committee is scared of Trump's retaliation if they don't give him the prize. Because nothing says "worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize" like intimidating the committee into awarding it to you so you don't threaten to invade their country...

Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize

US president may impose tariffs, demand higher Nato contributions or even declare Norway an enemy, analyst says

Kristi Noem just said they've arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa. That's so crazy, I didn't know Dwight D. Eisenhower had a living girlfriend.
