Old enough to remember accountability and consequences. Opinions are NOT facts. Executive Orders are NOT laws. One person can make a difference. Color life outside the lines. Y’all means ALL!

Destroying America’s history, literally. But, hey, nothing to see here, folks. He’ll just keep saying stupid shit, the people will keep reacting to the stupid shit he says, and no one will pay attention to the outlandish shit he has, is, and will do. ‘Murica!

Where are the protesters outside the White House? Is this the real reason he brought the National Guard to DC, and said they will be staying?

This is a great point by @allenanalysis.bsky.social

A post by @allenanalysis on Twitter:

I wish conservatives understood this:

Without blue states, America would look like a developing country -
patchy internet, collapsing schools, no tech, no medicine, no future.

Red states cash the checks. Blue states write them.

You don't fund the nation - you drain it. The loudest shouts come from the emptiest hands.

A graphic of GDP broken out by county, color coded red for GOP counties and blue for Dem counties, shows how blue counties are responsible for he OVERWHELMING majority of GOP this nation produces.

The more-than-500 counties won by Joe Biden generated 71 percent of America's GDP in 2018
The more-than-2500 counties won by Donald Trump generated 29 percent of America's GDP in 2018

Is that incense or sage burning on that, that, thing on his desk? Are they expecting the power to go out or something? WTF?

Trump on canceling his meeting with Putin: "Everybody take some time off because you got two countries that are killing each other." (Sounds like he's again trying to wash his hands of the whole war.)

I’m sure he and his family will be welcomed to move into tar-a-whacko with the other felon family who moved out of NYC to the south Florida compound.

These guys look legit spooked by the crowd. They went in trying to provoke a response, but weren't prepared for it at all.

As masked federal agents target street vendors on Canal Street, THE CITY watched one street vendor being detained.

As the operation carried on, agents were confronted with a spontaneous crowd of protesters.

Nazi nominated to high government position. Infusing White supremacy into our refugee admissions policy. Also known as “Tuesday” in the Trump administration.

Screenshot of headline reading: Trump refugee plan seeks 7,000 Afrikaners — and virtually no one else

The administration's rush to process thousands of White South Africans coincides with plans for overall admissions set as low as 7,500.

Of course, he will put that gaudy gold lettered name on the WH, and charge taxpayers, in a reverse naming rights agreement, some absurd amount of money.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/
