The WH steals people’s property constantly and never asks permission. Another example of Trump acting like a king.

By the way, the book, Clockwork Orange, is not actually about the gangster character. It's about how a politician used the gang to turn Britain into a dictatorship.

That's not clear in the movie.

Science fiction sometimes becomes reality.

When I visited El Salvador in 2015, I ended up hanging out with a team of FBI forensic accountants that were staying in the same hotel.

They had concluded that the gangs were controlled by a few extremely wealthy Salvadorans who used them for their own purposes including political manipulation.

Some pretty extreme media bias evident in this choice of words.

Trump is following the same plan Putin followed.

This is an important story.

Bukele had special "arrangements" with the leaders of MS-13. They would increase violence before elections to make incumbents look bad, and then decrease to make the elected officials look good.

MS-13 = Bukele?

Funny, cause he claimed they were controlled by Soros.

Has anyone else noticed that Mike Johnson has no micro expressions? He's got a poker face.

Did someone train him? Why does he need to be so proficient at lying and hiding his feelings?

But, does he still have a "tell"?

What's up with the long blink? Watch for the long blink.

Context: Blagojevich was the Democratic Party governor who was caught by the FBI for trying to sell a vacant Senate seat.

He was pardoned by Trump.

So... who's your daddy now Mr Blagojevich? You know what side your bread is buttered on.

Obey your master, ASSHOLE!!!

This issue is actually something that unites us with other Americans, even MAGAts. We all agree that the justice system is broken. We all understand that some people are above the law, and we all want to end that.

Unite behind that.

Start with an Epstein investigation.

How does your average Democrat feel about Fox News?

Cuomo will get some republican votes, but no democrats in NYC will vote for him.

I grew up in NY state. We don't have fond memories of Cuomo and the old school NY dems.

Keep in mind that only 27% of the eligible voters are registered as Republicans.

And to add to that, the Trump supporters are actually very diverse in their views and goals. They're held together by a leader, and without him, it all falls apart.

And now, even with him around, it's breaking up.
