Biden is surely not perfect - but he doesn‘t deserve to have the orange fool call him ‘the worst president in the history of our country‘ all the damn time‘. Imagine how bad things might be how if we didn’t have 4 years of sanity between Trump 1.0 and 2.0….🤮

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country. I will be there on October 18th, and I hope you will be too.

Every American and the whole world should see this. Everyone involved at DHS should be ashamed and embarrassed. There will be no glory for Trump, Noem, and Miller

At least 6 vehicles racing through a quiet suburban neighborhood; multiple agents, all of them armed and masked.

the excessive response plus the violence against this 15 year old girl is outrageous.

Trump probably still would’ve gotten 30-35% of the vote… but at least he wouldn‘t be in the WH now! 🤦

They may be further enabling it telling him Portland is a hellscape and that we made $17 trillion from the tariffs. And drug prices will drop by more than 100%. None of them seem to care if he knows the truth about anything…

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?
