Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.

Yes, but he's difficult to keep detained. Paranormal entities are funny that way. Some speculate he's Dwight D Eisenhower while others insist he's Winston Churchhill. It's hard to tell since he's only detectable using an EMP, EVP recorder, and Shaggy's goose bumps. PS: Send Scooby snacks.

Status: Project 2025 is halfway complete with pardoned 1/6 criminals and MAGA loyalists unleashed on city streets terrorizing American residents as ICE. Yes, the worst of the worst were recruited to further the Trump 2021 coup and cement his authoritarian regime.

We are witnesses to the Trump Crime Syndicate/Regime blowing through norms and decimating the "for the people" government in less than 8 months. It wouldn't matter if ICE had been dismantled. TCS/R via P2025 has corrupted every aspect of workable democracy. They had 4+ years to harden their coup.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

That's exactly why we know Trump isn't a Christian. He won't ask for forgiveness because he believes his every thought, word, and deed is without sin. Yet, he so wants to get into heaven because he knows his future is short. His audacity, arrogance, and evil come from a place far lower and hotter.

Trump is nothing but a low-grade fertilizer factory of lies, grandiosity, and hate stinking of 💩 and death.

BS. Van Orden, the people of the world would have to be in a cult or a coma not to see the fluffing you are doing for the boss of the Trump Crime Syndicate/Regime. You, the obsequious toad, would lose a popularity poll to a dung beetle perpetually rolling a ball of 💩 uphill. Disgusting.

Noem, we're watching you and your trigger humping meal team gestapo. If there is any justice in this world after Trump's, Miller's and your ICE/DHS's reign of terror, you will rue the day the Trump Crime Syndicate/Regime decided to go full fascist based on the massive list of MAGA lies. RICO.

The prosecution of Tish James is the product of a broken system that allows lawless billionaires to rule alongside corrupt politicians.

It’s as much a story of New York City as Washington, D.C.

But it's here in New York where a new era of politics will be born.

One of the worst blemishes of GOP character is they are running scared and covering up and complicit in Trump and his regime's crimes and then having the audacity to suggest Trump is joking when he posts vile AI content on everyone but his unhinged ass kissers. Trump has no decency or real humor.

Ain't that the truth?

Every toddler in America has more backbone and resolve than the average Republican.

Toddlers wail for a bottle. Mom brings one.

America wails for justice, decency and democracy.

Republicans leave town for a month.

They've been in the "I'll do whatever I want" part for a long time now & no one's stopped them.

So now they've upped their violent crimes to the "I'll damn well kill anyone I want" stage.

This is very near the "I'll come into your homes, drag you into buses, and take you straight to hell" part.
