How many people are we going to watch ICE murder? How many children kidnap? How many homes invaded? Before we stand up as a nation and say enough?

Remember when Trump said he would cap credit card interest rates on January 20? I wonder what happened to that.

Democrats in Congress shoulder their fair share of blame for the enshittification of America. Can’t trust them to do the right thing. That’s why they just voted to fund ICE (with extra!) through 2026.

At any given time, I’m on TWO and sometimes three blood thinners, including aspirin. And I still never have had a bruise that looks like what Trump gets on his hands.

How delusional do you have to be to believe that Americans were eating a low beef and dairy diet at any time in the last fifty years?

Trump is the greatest war time president in American history. He has started a Civil War and a World War at the same time!

Vance is wrong. ICE agents aren't immune from state prosecution. They might think twice about shooting citizens if they know they could spend years in pretrial detention while lawyers argue about federalism, procedure, and evidence. We should tell them.

Gov. Walz isn’t being cowardly. If he calls in the national guard to repel ICE, Trump nationalizes them, invokes the Insurrection Act, and sends the army. The Guard and the Army will fracture as personnel picks a side. Followed by the other states. And bam, true civil war.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025
