If you voted for Kamala, you helped Kamala.
If you voted for Trump, you helped Trump.
If you voted 3rd Party, you helped Trump.
If you stayed home, you helped Trump.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.'
Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices.

not only is the whole "the left is organizing against us" thing just bullshit for suppressing speech and dissent, its also hilarious because if you've spent 10 seconds on the left you can see there isnt the power to organize a bake sale let alone an antifa plot to take down the govt
