Who else thinks that everything we’re experiencing with Ice and the National guard is because there were no consequences for the man responsible for the January 6th Insurrection.

So proud of my city. Keep it peaceful as not to give the orange menace an excuse to escalate his political theater.

From what I can see right now maybe I missed it, there are only two Governors that are standing up to trump. Hint, I have property in both of those states…

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

As much as I would love for that to happen, it’s going to be tough since we aren’t apart of the Rome Statute. Things are set up for trump to do whatever he wants!

A line from Rise of Skywalker fits our situation today. “They win by making you think you’re alone, There’s more of us.” Stay in the fight. #Resist

I’m figuring that it will take years to clean up all of the things he’s destroyed when he’s finally gone…

Where does he find these press secretary’s that lie just as much as he does, with a straight face too!🤔

Hmm, I agree, but I think trump knows some it’s not true, but he goes along because he wants the same thing miller does.

My guess is that Stephen Miller has been lying to Trump about what's happening in Portland and Chicago in order to satisfy his long time desire to rid the country of melanin. Fox helps, but I'd bet a big part of why Trump is so clueless is that Miller is "handling" Trump to fulfill his own agenda.

Yep. Us in the rest of the world watched in abject horror as that fat orange waste of oxygen looked up the insurrection it’s and did nothing. He ought to have been taken away in handcuffs and tried for treason yet you Americans voted him back in. The rest of the world is disgusted
