Turns out renaming DOD to DOW, bombing fishing boats in international waters,supporting genocide and sending the military to put down peaceful citizens supporting democracy is not a path to the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have an idea Donald:
Release the Epstein files.

The Fetterman thing is frustrating but only mildly surprising.
But the MTG thing - that’s full on twilight zone.

The senate has passed the NDAA including anti-trans riders, anti-DEI clause and zero limitations on domestic deployment of the military.

26 Democrats helped pass this.

I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack so can someone explain this to me?
You know, the 26 Democrats part.

Antifa was an organization in Germany in the Nazi version 1.0 era. Today it’s a movement. Anyone who thinks antifa is organized or well funded is not paying attention.

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 17h

I voted NO on the annual defense policy bill.

Trump is lying about chaos on our streets to deploy the military against our own citizens.

I support our troops always, but I DON'T support a President who says Democratic cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military.

The man-baby enabled and supported the genocide in Gaza. He openly called for the complete razing and the building of resorts.
Don’t give me that BS about peacemaker.
He is an evil child.

How about releasing the Epstein files?

The regime knows all this crap about rioting and burning buildings is BS.
They don’t care.
They are setting the stage for the Insurrection Act.
That will give them the power to invoke martial law and suspend elections.
I have zero confidence the courts will prevent this.

Kristi Noem came to Portland, Oregon to witness and photograph the mass rioting and burning.
All she found was 10-15 peaceful protesters - one dressed in a chicken suit.

She couldn’t report the truth so now
she’s claiming Oregon leaders are hiding the terrorists and the burning buildings.

LOL.

President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump: “blessed are the peacemakers”.

Just to clarify, trump is no peacemaker. This genocide continued for months with his approval. The bombs used to blow up civilian sites came from the US.
Trump was excited to destroy Gaza to develop fancy resorts.

The self centered child is no peacemaker.

The president of the U.S. is cognitively declining, unstable, attacking American citizens and cities using the military, taking away our healthcare and our vote.

And that not the craziest and most dangerous issue.
That award goes to the GOP Congress who stands by and watches.

I know Donald Trump doesn’t read above a 3rd grade level, but apparently he has misread the meaning of the Insurrection Act.
He seems to think it’s a license to start an insurrection and then go in with the military to stop it.

One protester spit. A few are blocking an ICE vehicle. Let’s call in the Guard, the Marines and let’s bomb the shit out of them.
Let’s arrest the governor.
Trump is the escalator in this.
Trump is the terrorist.

ChuckInOregon @chuckinoregon.bsky.social · 2d

No one in Portland is setting cars on fire or spitting on officers. They are peacefully protesting around the ICE facility. Yet he wants to send in the Guard because he says the city is burning and people are rioting- which is a lie

Yes. And Congress is in recess because Mikey Johnson doesn’t want a vote on releasing the Epstein files

Rage without action rots.

Many versions of this and it’s been attributed to multiple people but the message seems appropriate.

ChuckInOregon @chuckinoregon.bsky.social · 3d

Which one is the terrorist?

The ones carrying signs questioning our government?

Or the non-uniformed , unidentified, masked people carrying weapons and grabbing children and people from their jobs, their homes and places of worship, zip tying them, often beating them, and disappearing them?

This can’t be a surprise to anyone. They’ve been leading up to this for a long time.
They want to suppress your voice and your vote.
The whole damn country needs to get out on the streets and protest.
Peacefully.

They cannot stop millions of us.

Epstein files must be really bad.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 3d

BREAKING: Stephen Miller—both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

There is a one block area in Portland where there are peaceful protests.
Trump wants to outlaw protests or anyone or anything that disagrees with him.
Hence, the “war zone”.
Again, NOTHING is burning and there is no violence in Portland.

By the way, RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES.

The video trump is using to justify his military deployment to Portland are from what took place after the George Floyd murder.
Portland is not burning.
Protests have been peaceful.
He is trying to incite violence. And I fear he may get his wish.
But remember who caused it.
