Trump told his beautiful Christians to get out and vote for him this time and they never have to vote again because it will all be fixed. Did we think this was anything but exactly that?

I’m perturbed about this new ‘war’ with its extreme use of our military resources … and don’t know why there doesn’t seem to be any real investigative reporting about why we are REALLY doing it.

the MAGA cult around my area responded to the protest by saying ‘what king? We don’t have a king!” And have no clue what’s going on all over the country. Can’t these cases be shown on all channels on cable & in ads all over social media? It’s nothing less than masked thugs kidnapping anyone they can

Ironic that removing a civil war confederate statue in Richmond caused an uprise by “him” and his followers… but demolishing 1/3 of a Federal building, the people’s house, with such national history and symbolism is being cheered by those same folks.

How many jobs does a data center add to the economy once it’s open and running?

Joe and Bob.

Such amateurs… just work with the White house and you can steal billions out in the open.

Oh dear, the Islamic terrorist trend of instilling fear is so 2008. Remember when we should be afraid of Obama? Oh I was so scared of that tan suit I never left the house for 8 years.

And protecting the integrity of voting please. I question the new owner of Dominion Voting, yes the same company that sued Fox for defamation and got a settlement of about $800 million. Now owned by a Trump loyalist?

I want my money back.
Or at least some discount coupons on Amazon or MS office for free.

Wow, not even pretending anymore that they took an oath to the constitution. Maybe an oath to Putin or the devil perhaps?

Oh yes another one of his superpowers… and another method for more streams of income.

Never in my long life would I have imagined so much corruption from any administration, much less no one holding him accountable.
I used to worry that capitalism’s greed would eventually smother democracy. And here we are starting with Citizens United.

Thank you Senator. Let’s hope after this regime has puttered out that we can regain some dignity and trust from the democratic world.

It’s United Nations Day. The U.S. helped found @un.org 80 years ago to provide a forum for the world to come together and respond to shared challenges. When we work with organizations like the UN, we can build a more peaceful and secure future for all.

Are these local police? Never saw police with face masks much less use extreme force for someone obviously not resisting. And my fellow MAGA are ok with this?

What about the contractors?

Rafanelly @rafanelly.bsky.social · 9h

Actually the cost was up to $300 million yesterday - up from $200 then up from $250 but by the time Mr bankruptcy is done it’ll be closer to a billion.

Wow. Even the legacy of Reagan has to get crapped on…
