They can get rid of the filibuster to pass the budget. They don’t want to be on the fail ship all alone.

And if he breaks government the function of government, it was his leadership. GOP was hired by the people (not me) to run it all, not to break it all. The people know.

If he breaks government and it doesn’t work. Than he’s in charge, it’s his legacy. People already blame him for healthcare. That will only get worse for him.

So. It’s fake of course.

If the government wanted people on their side; than they should shoot hot priests.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

The ones I suspect seem to identify as left but spend all their time beating up democrats.

We should start walking around with q -tips and zip locks. If they won’t show their face. Get some DNA and save it for the after trials. Be sure they see the samples being collected. Likely not reliable or admissible but, Freak them out. They should quit.

I know everything is getting worse and Trump is trying to dismantle America, but all of this is a sign of a very weak, desperate Presidency that realizes it's unpopular and has lost the majority.

The economy sucks, the Epstein Files aren't released, and people didn't vote for a MAGA dictatorship.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."
