Yes Trump thinks Americans are stupid.

And they were sent after the insurrection to investigate, not before it even happened. Sheesh.

A tweet by Evan Kilgore says: “Can somebody please explain to me how ‘the Biden FBI’ placed 274 agents into the crowd on January 6th… when Donald Trump was President on January 6th? Joe Biden had no control over the FBI before January 20th. Does Trump think we’re stupid or am I missing something?”
It quotes a tweet from Donald J. Trump reading, “THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6… What a SCAM – DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT.”

Think of how good it would feel to put a nail in the separatist coffin, and say “we are proudly Canadian and we want to work as Canadians to make the country even better.”

Fear and hate have always been hallmarks of fascism. Let’s not do that.

The Trump Regime reflexively pushes back on ALL resistance.

In the case of NO KINGS, they are at a loss.

“I … met with the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police, and the superintendent of the highway patrol. They’re all lying, and disingenuous, and dishonest people,” Noem said, because they wouldn’t back up her baseless claims that the streets were overrun with terrorists.

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

Guess BC should demand that Alberta and Saskatchewan not stand in the way as we build some massive wind farms in Canada’s prairies. After all, it‘s the best place to get our wind energy to market.

The recordings of ICE Gestapo using chemical agents; flash bangs and other non-lethal weapons against NON-violent protesters have resulted in Federal Judges invoking restraints against these tactics.
Any further violence by Federal Agents in Chicago may result in punitive actions; law suits & jail.

Trump just spouts nonsense. He gives zero thought to whether true or not. Just like he gives zero thought for any other human.

Rick @rickylongthread.bsky.social · 2d

Wow. Gavin Newsom just brutally mocked Trump for his dementia-laden post. Trump forgot that he was president on January 6, 2021. How embarrassing.
