Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

So all of the Republicans are complicit in allowing this very unhinged individual to continue to lead our nation.

We must never let them near this level of power again.

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

Plus some southern towns are not so "sleepy" and there's plenty of crime there. In fact, red states usually have more crime than blue anyway . So send some to those crime-filled red cities too, let's see it.

"The Voting Rights Act is the most important piece of legislation in American history... It is the thing that makes this country a democracy instead of a white, male, apartheid state.

But Chief Justice John Roberts hates it. He has spent much of his career trying to destroy it."

It's the first Monday in October which means the Supreme Court is back in session. Here's my preview of all the cruelty and evil they will visit upon us this term.

Not a dime touched from Florida or Texas. Only Harris states. Only blue states.

He’s literally trying to punish the states that voted against him.

Donald Trump shut down the government, and now, he’s using it as a weapon.

His administration just announced that billions of dollars in federal funding for energy and infrastructure projects are being pulled from states that voted for Kamala Harris.

Oh, was pretty sure after America re-elected the orange man-child that would be going to jail. He absolutely hates protesters, and those of us that make the demonstrations happen will be primary targets. Just hope don't get disappeared to Central America or Africa..
