Anyone else notice how Tom Homan has gone underground since his bribery scandal?

We are all indoctrinated. There is healthy indoctrination, and then there is Christian Nationalism.
The stupid kind.

We’ve been here before. African Americans have experienced this reality their entire lives for centuries. We are aghast. This can’t be happening.

This is America. Fascism has always been here. It’s rearing its ugly head again, clad in faux Christianity, patriotism and tax cuts.

ICE GOONS crash into car and then point weapons to kidnap man.

Most Americans are just trying to make ends meet. They’re busy. They see snippets of news.
An enormous wave of rebuttal to this current madness is building. There will be a tipping point.
There will be a reclamation of common sense and decency.

This America sucks

A trillion dollars to the Pentagon?

I can’t find the words to properly convey this insanity.

We still have hunger in this country. People can’t afford housing.

This is truly horrific: ICE detained this veteran and brutalized him. Tim talked to him about the hell he went through. #fyp #foryou #foryoupage

Why is there no new bipartisan border legislation? Why no new healthcare improvements? Education? Nothing.
The right destroys. It isn’t interested in creation, unless what it creates is destructive.

Eventually the response from the left will be a swell rarely experienced in this country. The degradations will cross too many lines. The hatred and fear will be overwhelmed by a response that will send the jackals fleeing.

🍊cankles has earned more money during his two presidencies than any sitting president by far. He has far surpassed the riches he claimed Biden was amassing while in office.
This has been his bargain with the devil. He will break any precedent as long as the money keeps funneling to him.

Masked Proud Boys roaming liberal cities, armed with pepper spray and rubber bullets. These salaried thugs, paid to ziptie children, shove congresswomen to the ground, aim their guns at unarmed protesters, must be happy as pigs in mud.
We are in a surreal moment. The inmates are running the asylum

And so it goes…(Kurt Vonnegut)

Over and over again, will we never learn?

In dedication to the murdered Kent State students and their families.

They died peacefully protesting their government.

This regime will fail. It may appeal to a certain demographic, but its weak ideas will not win in the end.
Hatred, fear, falsehood may rear its ugly head from time to time. It may be propped up by shallow fortune hunters.
This country’s better angels will prevail. Liberty and justice for all.

The enemy is from within all right.
It festers between the ears of an 80 year old buffoon and his lunatic lackeys.

We need to get these ICE agents with guns off our streets. They are emboldened. They are menacing.
They have become legalized proud boys.

Pepper spraying, shooting rubber bullets into crowds. What’s next? We know what’s next. Kent State is next.
