Sergeant, I do believe they might find millions of pissed off boomers who hated them all of our lives. They underestimate what antifa means!
Maybe a lot of people are like I am, extra pissed off because our parents & grandparents would be so pissed off.

Photo of a guy in Germany is all the other men doing a Nazi salute and he’s standing with his arms crossed. It says “bethis guy.”

Russian Ron Johnson was also one of the Moscow 8 Republicans that visited Moscow on July 4, 2018 instead of celebrating America's independence with their local constituents. (7 Senators & 1 member of the House)

This is an old article about Russell Vought. We all know the Republicans in Congress are trump sycophants but they aren’t stupid. Why would they confirm a nominee whose whole plan is to make them powerless and obsolete? I’m still baffled by this.

Opinion | Russ Vought wants to make Congress obsolete

Trump's pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget refused to answer questions about his chilling vision for an even more powerful White House.

BREAKING: The Chicago pastor intentionally shot in the head by masked ICE agents is SUING. 💪 He's being joined by journalists ICE targeted. "I invite ICE to repent." 👏 They won't, so suing them into the ground will have to do.

Goosebumps watching this. Chicagoans fighting for this country. Mass collective action is the only thing that can keep fascism away.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.
