If you can look at this and not feel profound shame about what ICE is doing in America's name, you are not human.

Philly loves a parade! And today was a great one. Music! Unity! Great signs of things to come if we keep pushing.

Great rally in Philadelphia, made even better by Jamie Raskin! The crowd looked as if it was more than twice as large as the last No Kings march. Patriotic Americans standing up for democracy.

Mike Johnson bleats about upcoming protest march. Whines that protest is bad. Another dodge by Republicans to obscure the obscene truth of this trump regime. Trump lives to lie, to grab as much $$ as he can. America can go bankrupt for all he cares, as long as he makes money off democracy's carcass.

Trump says Portland is burning. No challenges. RFK says fetuses are in the placenta, circumcision causes autism. Noem says elected officials in Oregon are pansies. And Bondi hurls canned insults at senators. Republicans remain silent. What a disgusting, dispiriting week watching this shit show.

God must be thrilled with scenes from Alligator Alcatraz, not to mention the babies starving in Gaza. And let's not forget the torture, rape and beating of the immigrants we sent to the prison of trump's buddy, Bukele--a jerk who calls himself "the world's coolest dictator." This is religion?

3/3What would Jesus do? Hard to speak for someone in whose name so many heinous crimes have been committed. Would Jesus stop starving children to death? Stop bombing hospitals and schools? Stop supplying weapons to people for whom human life has zero value? What would Jesus do? We’ll never know.

2/3Would he force those prisoners to eat like dogs, in filthy, sweltering cages? The repubs are so damned proud of their Christianity; yet, abusing and humiliating human beings is a spectator sport. There are no words adequate to describe trump’s profound deceitfulness and contempt for human life

1/3Besides the whole Epstein affair, the obscene hypocrisy of trump and all his sycophantic toadies should embarrass and enrage every American. Simple question: What would Jesus do? Maybe set up concentration camps, fill them with people just trying to escape violence and persecution?

And FDR promised to repeal Smoot Hawley in 1932. It was finally repealed in 1934. Once again, trump's understanding of history is profoundly flawed. This man is an embarrassment and clearly mentally unfit to lead this country.

The Smoot-Hawley tariff was passed less than nine months after the stock market crash, in June 1930.
Its first full year of effect was 1931.

The appalling cruelty of these "christians," trump's fans. They're incapable of seeing human beings as they brag about the millions of ways they're anticipating the fun of torturing and starving immigrants. Nobody even talks about habeas corpus any more. We've moved on from that silly constitution.

I have been a democrat most of my life. Tonight, I am so bitterly disappointed in the "leadership" of the democrats in Congress. They're hoping for a blue wave in the midterms. It will be hard for me to vote for any democrat who doesn't have the balls and courage to stand up now. Leadership? Asleep.

Congressional approval required to declare war. Congress determines tariffs. Congress...yes, totally irrelevant. trump has declared himself the emperor of all he surveys. He bombs other countries. He initiates tariffs. His minions decide that a century of health care should be scrapped. Stunned.

Pres. Obama negotiated a nuclear treaty with Iran and was vilified by the republicans. trump tore up the treaty. Then trump DEMANDED that Iran sign a new treaty (curiously, just like Pres. Obama's!) trump is an incompetent, dangerous fool who is undermining our country. Will repubs ever stand up?

Obama negotiated a nuclear deal w/Iran. trump shredded it then tried to recreate the same deal. Israel bombed Iran, and trump pretends he knew nothing about it, but says Iran wasn't negotiating fast enough with him. trump is an embarrassing, incompetent, ignorant fool--a useful puppet for dictators.
