When the government FINALLY reopens, democrats need to file articles of impeachment for the Venezuela strikes. 6 more people were killed today according to Trump, so the number is likely higher because I don't trust anything he says

Murdering 6 ppl off Venezuela coast isn’t ok just because they’re not white, a Trump supporter or play the fcking mandolin. This POSPOTUS waving his mushroom stump around thinking he’s Mr Peace when really he’s just the bad aftertaste of puke after a long night of drinking.

Someone told him a “wartime president” gets reelected, so now he’s trying to drag us into war with Venezuela.

Under international law (UN Charter, Art. 51), force’s allowed only in self-defense. No war. No threat. Just 6 men killed for a tweet. That’s not strength, it’s lawless.

As I previously said, the Trump Administration’s actions in the Caribbean Sea are illegal and unconstitutional.

Today’s military assault off of the coast of Venezuela is just the next in a series of criminal acts committed by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth.

The world lost a giant.

D’Angelo was more than a musician, he was a vessel of soul, a conjurer of feeling, a truth-teller in melody and rhythm. He bared his soul with every note and we felt it.

Don't choose someone just because they are young, & don't disregard someone because they are old. Choose them for the good they do.
If Janet Mills wins the nomination, vote for her, don't refuse to vote for her & allow a repub. to stay in that seat.
We must work together, don't let them destroy us.

PTSD?! Does he think that was cute? Witty? Funny?

If I could be assured I could choose one person to get PTSD from meetings, I would nominate Mike Johnson to be the one. Let him find out how unfunny PTSD truly is.

Airports are starting to refuse to air Trump's propaganda. On the same day that a second House member broke with Mike Johnson and demanded he negotiate with dems and swear in that duly elected House member he's refused to swear in. It's all coming apart for Trump. www.joemygod.com/2025/10/seat...

Trump and elected Republicans do not give one 💩 about conservative voters in Alaska, apparently. Mike Johnson and his GOP House reps are still on EXTENDED vacation (NOT working, obviously).

Mike Johnson and the rest of the MAGA GOP claiming that the “No Kings Protest” on 10/18 are America haters, terrorist and antifa

Thank you for proving our point. It’s about being Americans and protecting democracy from those who would take our constitutional rights away and calling us criminals

Mike Johnson said this could be the longest government shutdown and that he “won’t negotiate” with Democrats. Of course he won't; if the shutdown ends, he has to swear in Adelita Grijalva who would provide the last vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House called No Kings protests “hate America rallies”. Nothing could be further from the truth. These are true patriots exercising 1st Amendment rights to say we do not want dictatorship by Trump. We don’t want unneeded military troops in our cities. We want democracy.

When will the shutdown end?

If Mike Johnson & his fellow Repubs get their way: Never.

Repubs *hate* the federal government & want to use the treasury (ahem, *our* money we have paid in via income taxes) as their own personal piggie bank.

So let me see if I understand Mike Johnson, me attending the “No Kings” this weekend make me “hate America”, and “pro-Hamas”. I say to him eat shit!! I served this country in the military for over 20 years. I consider protesting the basis of why I served.
