I had a pleasant dream last night. Russ Vought was thrown in jail awaiting trial for betrayal of his country.

Russ Vought has no authority to lay off government workers because of the Shutdown. When he says he does he is lying his evil ass off.

Drop dead Russ.

One thing I have noticed about Trump humpers. They have no idea what normal is. They believe Trump's lies and have forgotten how government is ACTUALLY supposed to work.

Retrospectively, Kamala Harris’ speeches were so on point that they feel like a prophesy.

Trump won't need to use the military to make America a one-party state because the Supreme Court will do it for him.

Republicans could draw 19 more House seats after an upcoming Supreme Court ruling

Many experts are forecasting the end of a key provision of election law — enabling Republicans to shore up their advantage in the House, according to a new report.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Trump: "They've had hundreds of people shot and then a guy like Pritzker or this low IQ mayor gets up -- the people are all against him. Beautiful Black women are wearing a MAGA hat last night on TV. And they said, 'We don't care who comes, just stop the crime.' They don't care if it's military."

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Texas sent 300 Soldiers from its National Guard. They should have sent ZERO. The fact that the number is so small, however, begs the question of what type of people volunteered for this sick and depraved mission.

I guarantee you will find some really bad folks among those who volunteered.

Russ Vought is an evil man. Federal workers did nit create the shutdown. Trump and his greed did.

Furthermore the President does not get to decide if they get paid.

Burn in hell, Russ Vought.

Pam Bondi took an oath & under penalty of perjury was asked;

“Who ordered the FBI to flag Epstein files that referenced Donald Trump”

Her answer;
“I’m not going to tell you that”

Did she answer the question honestly? should she be disbarred for lying under oath?

These are bad companies run by some truly evil people. One of the great failures of both parties was not speaking out harder about antitrust law. They both need to be broken up and no company should own this much of the broadcast market. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/nexstar-an...

ICE Protests

Trump’s deportation army is growing by the day.

But most of its foot soldiers don’t even work for ICE.

A vast majority come from other law enforcement agencies.

As of August, about 42,000 are non-ERO, inc roughly 28,000 federal officials & more than 13,000 state and local ones.

Trump's deportation machine has diverted some 42,000 crime fighters from other tasks

Feeling safer now?
