In honor of Charlie Kirk, the alleged free speech champion, Trump's State Department has revoked the visas of foreign individuals who made critical, disparaging comments after his assassination.

What weak, pathetic snowflakes and hypocrites.

Fragile, porcelain tea cups.

So, China is buying soy beans from Argentina instead of America but we are giving Argentina billions of dollars? Also, Argentinians have free healthcare but Americans do not and our government is now shut down because it doesn’t have enough money to give Americans even a discount on healthcare?

Trump’s gerrymandering directive to red states is an order to protect his power & it can’t go unchecked

He knows he’s losing favor

Remember how MAGA told us Javier Milei would fix Argentina's economy with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing out Argentina with billions.

Remember how MAGA told us Donald Trump would save US farmers with his right-wing policies?

And now we are bailing them out with billions also.

If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Two dozen masked ICE Federal Secret Police, who are kitted out like they are going to war, kidnap a local and brutalize the community.

Toward the end of the video, they throw a gas cannister that almost hits a baby. 😟
