Fellow Americans your president is calling you “whacked out” and gets off by dreaming of air dropping crap in you. Don’t ever forget that this is what he and his fellow Republicans think of you. Every Republican needs to be continuously asked about this.

And will we ever get a true accounting as to who helped pay for this abomination and how much it really cost taxpayers.

And where is FEMA? Has cosplayer Noem showed up there to offer help or is it that she couldn’t come up with the right outfit to wear?

So was this crap challenged in any way? I’ve not seen any “ up with communism” or “defund the police” signs. Am sure there were signs about ICE but there have been legitimate legal challenges to how they are conducting their operations as being not lawful. So who is that is for the rule of law?

This is such a tell for Trump. He always lies about things or individuals that scare and intimidate him. Good job No Kings folks. You got under his skin.

Certainly hope there is a follow up to this distraction when they find out this hunting stand has been in the same location for decades.

So who has the standing to sue them to stop this? What if one member of the Navy refused to follow orders to shoot missile at boat off coast of Venezuela and is relieved of duty as result? Could they sue?

It’s just the elderly or so they say.

Restrictions on providing aid to starving people disqualifies a peace treaty from being judged as successful. If Trump really cared he would be insisting that massive aid be allowed to flow into Gaza. Starving to death is not peace.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

So the grand peace all MSM accepted as being achieved was, great surprise, not achieved. Trump got his TV moment but he can care less about lasting peace. Just wait until the first US soldier is killed and see if he accepts responsibility for putting them in harm’s way

So is the Trump Administration’s crack national security crew going to track down how these are showing up on Russia’s forces?

This is such an offensive question and a Speaker of the House who was conducting himself in a manner worthy of the position should have said so.

We have a president (can’t capitalize it when referencing Trump) with the maturity level of a low IQ/EQ middle schooler. Deplorable is an insufficient descriptor.

The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

How many Navy personnel are putting their personal freedom at risk by continuing to conduct murderous operations without legal orders? Their role is to say no and they need to know they will be held accountable. Every officer involved needs to know their career is over.

Oh Mr. Johnson. It would take far more resources to close the National Mall than to just leave the open space open. You know that. There is no need to give gratitude to Trump. We need not bow down to you or Trump or believe your continuous lies. Hope at some point you grow a spine and do your job.

What’s great is that they can all be quickly fired and told to go back to Russia.
