It wouldn’t surprise me if that hadn’t already been discussed.

Yeah, that’s bound to happen. Like you say, the response will be way more than necessary. I hope for the same things, as far as the oaths.

A revealing moment happened when he had to have his signature on those relief checks, like it was coming out of his own account.

I know his supporters have nothing but praise for him, but how hard is it to heap favors upon those who pat you on the back? He shows his true nature to the rest of us

I’m sorry, Dean. I don’t know you, but I’m familiar with the darkness. I hope you are able to find a little peace.

Okay. I’ll order two please!

That sucks. I always found her attractive, and so talented.

So, they push bogus visions of an America besieged by lawlessness and violence, so they can use a military/police system against us…financed by our own damn tax dollars.

I feel the same way. They intentionally chose to go after something like that,
that’s more of an ideology than a particular group, so they can classify their enemies accordingly. Donald has made no secret about hating us. Fox News has pushed for this kind of thing too.

When the right wants to create fiction, they sure know how to fall in line. Mike is such a terrible liar though.

Their supporters will believe anything they say, and rational people know what they are up to. So, they are wasting their time.

Obviously, the greatest fear Republicans have is the people gathering to express themselves. They fear it to such an extent, they consistently lie to justify whatever oppressive methods they can utilize.

🚨 Retired Major Richard Ojeda explains the danger of “floating the use of the 82nd Airborne Division on American soil.” His message needs to be heard. Veterans, retired and active, are aware of the Posse Comitatus Act. The U.S. military is not to attack our own citizens. 1/2

I think a more urgent problem we should investigate is the radicalization of right-wingers. And why are so many right-wing media entities so focused on distorting the truth to stoke hatred in their audiences? Who is funding this, and why?

Why doesn’t he go to Portland and show us exactly what he means? Most of what I’ve seen has been peaceful protest.

On the contrary, there’s plenty of footage of violence he orchestrated on Jan 6. He felt it was harmless enough they could all be released.
Noone in Portland is acting like that.

MAGA wants to redefine anti-fascism so they can have a blanket term to "justify" murdering and kidnapping everyday Americans that question the Trump regime, call out its numerous criminal actions, and / or ask for the release of the Epstein files.

No kidding! I’m dirt poor and managed to find a way to care for my teeth. If I had their money, they’d be flawless.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Why don’t they just make up their own trophies? They could take turns awarding them during their praise-fest meetings. One person could give him a bright blue ribbon, another could give him a plaque. How absurd can they get?

It was a tough lesson. 😂 I don’t know how much cleaner I bought.

I spent about a year trying to get a discoloration out of our carpet, until my in-laws visited. They moved the chandelier, and the stain shifted!

They should earn some happy points from their master for this bit. He’ll be proud of them.

Mother fucker! The House has been in session only 15 days since July.

GOP are loser slackers! Imagine if you only showed up to your job 15 days in 4 months.
They get 175k a year in salary.
