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.

True.

But none of those actually put people in power, even if they have all the money to try/buy influence.

There's still ONE thing that is so powerful, and it's only ask is to not be stupid...

Elections aren’t every 4 years or every 2 years, they’re every year. In California we have a special election for prop 50 and it’s a YES. If Texas can gerrymander then we should be able to. I know my comments will be filled with bots, but I won’t be intimidated. Our democracy is vanishing❤️

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

This is what you get for a $50k bribe to award contracts to "Federalized" private bounty hunters.

Now let's all stop wondering if he took the $50k in the bag.

That includes Lady Liberty herself, soon to turn 250.

Telnaes toon of three ICE goons on the roof of a building, each wearing a vest with one letter spelling out ICE. They look down at Lady Liberty on her knees holding her head after they shoot her with a pepper bomb.
