This is one of the stupidest things the demented orange buffoon has come up with…a monumental achievement. He’s the biggest idiot, the #1 mentally-unhinged fool in the world.
Go #1! Keep the stupidity alive, MAGATS need you!

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

The people have the power.

Communities in Portland and across the country are making it clear that troops don’t belong in our streets.

Kristi Noem came to Portland, and people protested with dogs, dancing: Get caught up

As U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Noem made the case for increased security, local officials repeated that the situation was well in hand.

A First Lady who lied about having a college degree on her immigration application, who is married to someone who rapes children and arrests his political opponents, and has a "back door channel" to an evil despot who kidnaps children and assassinates his political opponents.

Incredible.

You beat me to it, Mrs. Bowers, and said what I was thinking far better than I would have done. Melanie is just another prostitute in a gilded setting…with far fewer principles than most prostitutes.

Republicans want to be the party of healthcare? Open up the government. Put the subsidies back in place, and stop fucking with people’s health care.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Trump got his COVID19 vaccine today.

He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Anti-vaxxers often overlook that state public health agencies have authority to keep unvaccinated kids out of school during an infectious disease outbreak.

These are often the same people who said they were deeply concerned about children’s mental health during pandemic-related school closures.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

The acting CDC Director has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health. Trump has no knowledge, training or experience in science/public health.

Both are calling to make the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots, which makes absolutely no scientific or public health sense.

Acting CDC boss wants to break up MMR vaccine into three shots

Jim O’Neill joins President Donald Trump’s call for three distinct measles, mumps and rubella shots, claiming a separation would ‘reduce the risk of side effects’ and ‘maximize parental choice’

What a shame to have great baseball such as the Seattle/Detroit game tonight, but such juvenile TV announcers.

They could only be worse if Tony Romo showed up.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

Amazon is daily becoming a 3rd-world quality service company whose delivery people cannot follow simple instructions, and is selling lower-quality levels of products than before.

Perhaps their CEO can actually do something such as hire hardworking and reliable immigrants to improve operations.

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

The unassailable fact is that Antifa is not and never has been an organization. It is a movement, a set of beliefs, just as religious movements such as Christianity are beliefs.

However, the idiot #pedophiletrump does not hesitate in his mind-damaged hatred to attack beliefs. A deranged fool.
