You always hear people talking about illegal drugs and those who use them.
However you rarely hear people talking about the massive alcohol consumption problem we have, and just how much damage it causes our world ....

If there was ever a "gateway" drug to other drugs, it's ALCOHOL!

Mamdani: "Trump ran on 3 promises - punishment of his political enemies, easing cost of living crisis, & mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. And yet he's unable & unwilling to deliver bc he's beholden to the very billionaires that are profiting off of it"

Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History

Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured and dangerous psyche. But now Donald Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses.

Gov. Pritzker says Trump’s targeting blue strongholds as payback for voting against him, using the National Guard to intimidate.

He’s spot on — and I'd add it sure feels like another distraction from the Epstein case.

Nothing terrifies them more than the truth.

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."
