The GOP will not be playing by *Any Rules*.
Imagine the football game where we throw out our players for unnecessary roughness, yet the refs are owned by the other team & let them carry and use baseball bats.
It's against the rules, yes. But who is going to stop them?

Let's talk about the midterms.
ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.
Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!

Never in my most cynical dreams did I imagine so many people willing to sell out their own country for money, attention, clout, out of spite, ignorance or hate.
That will remain the most heartbreaking part of this ordeal.
America is such a beautiful idea.
We are becoming unworthy of it.

What a fucking embarrassment.
Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace”
Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

"However many people thought 'Trump is rich, he must know the economy' in 2016 or 2024, it’s getting harder to find Americans who think that today. His overall approval ended the year in the 30s in some polls, and his numbers on the economy are even worse."

He may have won on a promise to fix everything, but he's only made it worse.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.
Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.
Why is any of this necessary?
