Fact is, Congress has been disbanded giving all power to the dictator/king
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
It is really hard to find accuracy in situations where both Trump and Maduro are pathological liars. Usually when this happens between countries something gets blown up… usually the smaller weaker /player. Either way, would you want one of your kids sacrificed for one of these guys?
Venezuela claims it has captured CIA-linked mercenaries plotting a “false flag” attack to justify US military action.
Because people who “ fear” masks and not guns are idiots?
Perhaps Trump’s big mistake will be going after Jack Smith. Let’s hope Mr Smith keeps it up , has strong security and doesn’t go deep sea fishing in the next few years. Sm
There is no bottom when it comes to this POS.

Based on the attacks on suspected narco boats do we add murder to the list of crimes by Trump the Thug?
Trump’s babbling are all the proof we need to state emphatically that Our President is a complete idiot.
Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "
Another week of the US being quite literally in a dictatorship.
Congress is down and the government is shut down except for the dictatorship, ruling by executive orders
Why do red states and counties support such a liar? I know, Hunter and Hilary are to blame!! All the numbers are fake news, and it’s a witch hunt! Who knew?
More Proof That Everything Chump Touches Dies.......
Don’t forget how Trump mishandled the pandemic with confusing contradictory information and how he currently boosts misleading and potentially dangerous theories with his recent posts on vaccines and Tylenol
The ad wasn’t misleading , just edited to remove extraneous material not germane to our current tariff issue.
Trump lost the 2020 election as was clearly documented, and the only fraud was perpetrated by his supporters defaming election workers, tampering with machines , creating false electors and a riot to stop the Congress certifying the results. He does not want to yield power.
His plan to go after the midterms is clear
There is no Congress
ICE Facility unlawfully denies routine visit from Member of Congress
Congressman Horsford about the incident: "What are they hiding? You don't get to slam the door on a Member of Congress during a routine ICE visit.

Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"
Dems be like- uhhh Trump is the only POTUS with multiple indictments and convictions including a tyrannical attempt to stay in power after he lost.
Wrong, someone many voted for has 34 felonies, 2 impeachments, multiple accusations of sexual assault, multiple findings of business irregularities and 4 indictments for his role in jan6; an attempt to illegally stay in power.
AKA tyrannical behavior.
It is worth repeating- the US Congress has been disbanded. Mike Johnson has transferred all government authority to Trump.
The US is no longer a Republic.
Hopefully, there will be a counter revolution to return government of, by and for the people.
Let’s say Trump/ MAGA lives in a world of lies and propaganda; killing drug traffickers with no oversight, chance of arrest, interrogation to catch the financiers and bosses , and no trial is still basically murder
Better pain for all than risk loss of our Republic. We need better ways to push back than to hand the dictator more power, but I get it.
I respectfully disagree. We had to push back. It will be painful for all.
Hey Canada. No need to feed US citizens Reagan’s take on Tariffs. We know what he said and how he warned that his special case tariff on Japan shouldn’t be generalized for all the reasons he mentions in his speech. We got this Canada, we know Trump is an idiot . We love you, but stay in your lane.
Heading into another week with Congress disbanded. Major mistake by the democrats- they handed government to the dictator and they could have let MAGA feel the pain of ACA subsidies expiring. MAGA authoritarianism +Democrats stupidity/ineptitude = citizens screwed+ republic ended.
What’s to stop Melania from lying under oath? Her hubby has immunity and can pardon her for anything.
Now this F….d up. If not him then one of his sons… No Kings please
