There is no antifa, there is no funding, and there is no chaos (except when ICE creates it).

Trump got his Time cover but hates the photo. 🤣🤣🤣 It really is an awful picture. But gee, his ear looks amazing!

Trump fumes about his Time Magazine cover photo: "...this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?"

Well done!

A tweet by Gramps says “RELEASE THE FILES!” with a photo showing a projection on a wall of several people edited into a parody movie poster titled “Guardians of Pedophiles,” referencing “Guardians of the Galaxy.” A car is passing by the projection on the street.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

I miss Pres. Biden so much it hurts.

Joe Walsh @walshfreedom.bsky.social · 1d

That @JoeBiden put out this magnanimous & gracious statement AFTER all the horrible, dishonest things Trump said about Biden today, says so much about who Joe Biden is as a person. And reminds us all once again of what an utterly horrible, small, bad, & insecure person Trump is.

Oh, this shutdown is over a temporary bill to keep things going for a few weeks or months, isn’t it?

Teapot Dome scandal? Watergate? These are minuscule compared to what's uncovered every week with Trump. And just imagine what we haven't yet learned. Release the Epstein Files. Impeach and remove. Now.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Descendants of the Karankawa have fairly recently been publicly identified, but the no tribe has been formally acknowledged.
