Administration officials pile lie upon lie upon lie. When a president and his aides are doing that, it’s no longer America.

When masked government thugs take potshots at a priest, it’s no longer America.

State-sponsored mayhem starts at the top. trib.al/kEhMBeh

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

The ketchup splattered on the walls of the WH by Trump in the dining room were from his tantrum & mess.

Biden was not President.
Sitting on his orange ass doing nothing was the Menace in Chief himself🤷‍♀️

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.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Yes.
The president was never intended to have full power of government as clearly stated in the constitution.
Trump is a traitor & so is Vought & so many others.

Americans must change this if it’s not too late already😩

vought's view is that the president is an elected dictator and lo and behold he is seizing outright the power of the purse

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Trump is pissed about not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.
Now the winner Maria Corina Machado must suck up to him to prevent Trump for taking out his anger & vengeance on Venezuelan fishing boats off coastal international waters.

Big Brother propaganda machine of the fascist Maga party.
They exist solely on lying to the masses.
People know when their lives are shit.
They are fooling less people as their policies cost lives & comfort to citizens.

Albertans, stop pretending like the UCP are progressive conservatives.
They are dangerous religious extremists that have deep ties to the MAGA movement in the states.
Understand this & recognize their power grab, breaking rules & laws,banning books, threatening children& separatism is exactly that.

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois.

We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.
