Eli the orange and white cat is sitting on a windowsill looking out to the street. He can see a small car park, a road, a bus stop and the small church opposite. Out of shit to the left he can also see the roof of the single storey building below where his mum never throws food for the birds. No sirree, never.

I'm sure they do this on purpose to make everyone feel unsafe. Fire them all, then bring the essential back. They'll never feel secure in their jobs again. The cruelty is the objective. Vought wants to traumatize federal employees.

Thank you, farmers, for turning water, air, and sunlight into bread and oil.

It’s all a miracle to me.

They're always in terror. Terror of their master. Terror of the opposition. While they're hungry for power, they realize one slip and their master will destroy them. Conversely, if thrown out in the cold, the masses will destroy them.

So the president gets a gold plane and a golf course in Qatar.

Qatar gets an air base on US soil.

And we the people get nothing.

You realize that by Trump sending in troops to 'Blue' cities in 'Blue' states, Trump hates entire cities full of people, Trump hates entire States full of people. He hates us. He and his regime and the Republican party hate us. What is the role of government, if not to care for it's people?

They are vandals. They just want to break things. They don't want anything in government work for the people.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
