It's mind-boggling how, when you say the right is fascist, they turn around and say that the left is fascist. How? Have they looked up the definition of fascism? How is the left fascist?

Trump and Hegseth and unless it is an egregious violation of the law, they will follow those orders. I'm not sure what he considers an egregious violation of the law.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

When his father had Alzheimer's, they would supposedly put him in a car, take him to a fake office, with a fake secretary and have him sign fake documents. Can we do the same with DonOld?
