Let's lock them out.
Throw all their stuff on the steps.
Lock the doors and don't let them in.
Have new elections and bring in new talent.
This administration is no longer working. It's only for red states. It's only for white men. It's only for a fat fascist rapist.

Just an idea, but how about voting for the party that will NOT give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil?

And even better: How about stopping this and calling your representatives to tell them that YOU will replace them if they don't replace him?

You brought this to USA.

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.

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

You KNOW why. Our fat fascist rapist is the president ONLY to those who voted for him. Only to RED states.

So, he's not my president anymore, right? Thank god! Because our fat, fascist rapist's playbook: terror, illness, poverty, starvation, pandemics. Misery. Death.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

Do you think our fat, fascist rapist thinks that new people will magically appear to fawn all over him and make all this bad press go away?

He's not even our president! I live in a blue state!

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

IMO, you should be thanking the person blowing you. Perhaps a few compliments on their style, technique, or even how their hair looks.

But the, our fat fascist rapist has never cared what his minions think... or does he? He IS insecure as heck because he's stupid and psychotic. So, yeah. That.
