Yes, it was poor optics for Trump.

tRump decided he’d better pay the troops after allowing Qatar to build a base in Idaho. I guess troops lining up at food banks didn’t look so good for the regime.

Trump’s mind is going, quickly. Others are still making money off of him so they just let him blunder and stumble. Even his family won’t help.

Dementia Don seems to have forgotten that he was President on J6. Just another blatant lie and his base will believe it. No critical thinking skills whatsoever! 🙄

The Republican government shutdown provides poor optics for the Republicans

Military families “lining up at a foodbank” embarrassed Trump

How did he think the unemployed were going to survive

He’ll now pay them on 10/15

The Trump shutdown exposed Republicans’ cruelty

Good morning, friends! I have no plans for the “fall,” we will win. Autumn, I plan enjoy the changing season and do things I enjoy with people I love. I am a resister and will continue to organize and attend protests in my town. I will not wave the white flag.

It seems the court is allowing Trump to use the National Guard like his own personal army.

Judge rules National guard can stay in Illinois but can’t be used while the appeal goes through the courts.
Why didn’t Trump deploy the National Guard when they were needed on #Jan6 at the Capitol to put down the real rioters?

It's always sad when you bomb Iran and order Venezuelan boats be struck with deadly force, with no proof of drug running, and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee tells you to fuck off.

A waste-free Pentagon isn't happening

Sending thousands of National Guard troops to Democratic cities, that are already peaceful, is draining the Pentagon’s budget & abusing Trump’s authority

Why is America allowing a weak-minded old man to devastate the country we love

I have the backstory on that as well; which I will post in a day or so.

It's happened because of a thing called "Project 100,000"

"Woke Content" will be in Vietnam for a few days.

There's hidden history we need to learn.

No tragedy or national crisis gets in the way of Trump’s golf game

The government shutdown, the stock market plunge due to tariffs, flash floods, hurricanes, etc, Trump isn't working to help the people, he’s golfing

It costs millions to entertain Trump with his various distractions

🧵 Many of you never knew of a prison riot that took place in Vietnam. It involved incarcerated U.S. soldiers, most of whom were Black.

Dear Officers:

You are not witnessing “insurrection”.

You are confronting law-abiding fellow citizens. To please the self-claimed king.

Are you proud of the mission?
