Trump wants to put his face on the National Parks pass and make his own birthday a free entry day.

But will there even be parks left to enjoy after his big ugly budget cuts? https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?si=qH56WbCp9wnvVDI0

It cannot be an offense to repeat what the law itself clearly states: Soldiers are not required to follow illegal commands. This is political persecution, and it must end now.

The United States President and his boss.
"It’s never a good sign when the United States’ national security plan is praised by Russia as being 'largely consistent with our vision.'

"But that’s the bizarro world we’re living in."

Graham has never been, can never be 1/10 the man that President Biden is.
I wrote a book about Afghanistan. It was the Trump admin that in Feb 2020 signed off on the Doha Accords, which outlined the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in exchange for Taliban security guarantees. That was the work of the Trump & Sec of State Pompeo. Graham KNOWS this but he’s a snake.
Now the shooting in Australia is Biden’s fault.

Once upon a time, Graham had some integrity and patriotism. Now, though, he's gone full, 100% Trump. I wish for him the same that I wish for the liar, thief, rapist, fraud, pervert, convict Trump. I hope that when I wake up tomorrow morning, our country will be free of Trump.

What an idiot!
They're all Cos play bullshit.
Disgusting.
Kash Patel has no business being the FBI director. This is the second time in a major murder case where he has prematurely announced the detainment of a person of interest who was subsequently cleared. He is an incompetent, corrupt buffoon.

Due process? Indictment? Trial? Of course not. With the stroke of a pen, Secretary Hegseth can kill anyone he chooses. And trump will give him a pat on the back. I will look forward to Hegseth receiving a long prison sentence.
No judge. No jury. Just the Secretary of War.

And then they would blame it on President Biden.
I’ve said it here before: Trump could eat a live baby in front of TV audience and a significant swath of supporters would defend him and attack his critics with both-sidesism (“you’re the real baby killers!); some would even praise his manly grit for pressing forward despite the baby’s screams.

The chemical industry has launched a multi-million dollar lobbying blitz to influence Trump, including on regulations related to "forever chemicals."

Trump's EPA has also recently added chemical lobbyists to regulatory positions.

Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.

Good people don't support him.

They simply don't.

His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

In the entire 250 year history, there has never before been an occupier of the White House who displayed no humanity, no compassion. Trump is the most hate filled, ugly, horrid person ever. Everyone can see it, everyone knows it. If you support him, the devil owns you.
In DC, Trump officials celebrated the decimation of USAID with a sheet cake.

In South Sudan, USAID budget cuts closed a health clinic in the middle of a cholera outbreak.

Tor Top had to take his sick mother to the hospital, 8 hours away. She died on the way.

Bartiromo is intelligent, nothing like her beloved Trump. She knows that what she is selling is total BS and so she is only doing it for $$$$$.
I made the case for Medicare for All on Fox's Mornings with Maria with facts and basic economics.

If this is real, it confirms what has been suspected, that he is in considerable physical decline to go along with his mental deterioration.
This is what “moving fast and breaking norms” looks like at 0.3 mph.

These sexual deviates loved being together and sharing teenage girls.
Republicans currently hold a very slender majority in the House. Control of the House determines whether subpoenas will be issued to hear from witnesses & obtain additional evidence to provide context for the Epstein pictures that were released this morning.

Australia is on track to ELIMINATE cervical cancer by 2035.
Eliminate. A whole cancer ❤️‍🔥

All because a government actually invested in HPV vaccination (prevention)+ cervical cancer screening

No president had ever lied more than Trump. No president has ever bragged about his accomplishments more. No president has ever golfed more than Trump (and cheated more).
