Trump and Rs are also sending billions to countries and continuing his tariffs while telling us we don't deserve healthcare or basic meals or afforable basic needs or a quality education. And no, I'm not buying his "I have the concepts of a plan" shit.

Day 11 of the Republican Shutdown.

Donald Trump is back on the golf course.

House Republicans have cancelled votes for a third straight week.

And Democrats are continuing the fight to protect your healthcare.

They are going to put instigators there to rile up the crowd or just perform violent acts, so just be aware. Do not get pulled into violence. If someone starts being overly rowdy, move away from them. Take a Pic or video. Also, be ready for violence from authorities because you know he wants that.

The SCOTUS majority must know this. The only conclusion is that they don’t care.

“Dozens of sitting judges shared with The Times their concerns about risks to the courts’ legitimacy as the Supreme Court releases opaque orders about Trump administration policies.”

Yep. As long as they can't be touched, they don't care.

We had an opportunity to start fixing the R-SCOTUS in 2024, but people thought throwing that away was preferable to having a Black woman president. Now we're here.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Wonder how they feel about supporting ICE now?

And 20 bucks says they released them shortly after that.

Don't let them bait you into violence. That's what they want.

So money. Adjacency. Being a spineless Sycophant can't buy him acceptance? And those questions and comments were awful

This guy is running for governor of my state. I think he'll win the R primary, but only because there's a Black woman running against him. The racists here know who they hate more.

And remember this pos and his drunken secretary just ended a military program for training allied countries that buy our military equipment in English, but Qatar gets an entire damn facility? Nope.

We had different military units from different countries come thru Edward's to train on fighters we sold them when I was stationed there, but they were ALL allies.

If he wants to cut Idaho out like Bugs Bunny did Florida, and send it to Qatar, I wouldn't complain. But Qatar is not our ally and should not have a foothold in this country.

DOJ then asserted presidential privilege over any other details about the call. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Trump’s building a golf course in Qatar.
He accepted a $400M luxury jet as a gift from Qatar.
His son-in-law got a $1.5B investment from Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries.
His top officials like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi worked for Qatar.

And now this.
