The people in this administration think they can cross *any* line and nobody will push back. So they brazenly just keep in crossing all the lines, because they are so full of themselves.

Janet Mills, suddenly running for the Senate from Maine has sent me THREE fund-raising texts from different numbers, all in the past hour.

Greedy much? Anxious more?

Sorry. I’m for Graham Platner.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

When the government FINALLY reopens, democrats need to file articles of impeachment for the Venezuela strikes. 6 more people were killed today according to Trump, so the number is likely higher because I don't trust anything he says

Further premeditated, lawless killing in the Caribbean.

Making at least five such US strikes.

Against unidentified "narcoterrorists" affiliated w/ an unspecified "designated terrorist organization" allegedly trafficking unspecified narcotics.

POTUS is asserting a license to kill outside the law.

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Democrats need to accept that Trump will indict his political enemies. But if Democrats respond by later indicting the DOJ officials who illegally carried out Trump's indictments, that will be end of our Republic.

JD Vance claims Trump is deploying the National Guard because crime in Chicago and Portland has gotten "out of control."

But crime rates were already falling in both cities.

This is all a power grab — and a pretext for something much worse. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8vrfgHqs

In ordinary times, Americans go about their daily lives without much worry about who is running the Office of Management and Budget, a powerful, low-profile agency tasked with executing the federal budget.

These are not ordinary times. @contrariannews.org

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
