The enemy of the the USA? Or very confused?

This has never been just.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Is he that stupid?

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."

It’s the new “white Jesus” version of Christianity that can only wear bigger crosses.

“I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop ‘left-wing’ terrorism. He is staging it,” Taylor wrote. “His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.”

Former Trump Official: Trump Isn’t Stopping Terrorism, He’s ‘Staging It’

Trump's military incursion into American cities is designed to provoke a reaction.

Meeting with imaginary foes?

Carolyn4277 @carolyn4277.bsky.social · 17h

All staged to get him out of the meeting.

But will she ever serve? Republicans are refused to let them take the oath of office.

How much did her visit cost the taxpayers?

Carolyn4277 @carolyn4277.bsky.social · 21h

So had she not shown up, there would have been one person dressed as a chicken?

I agree! My mother showed me fossils before i started Sunday School. When I told her that church taught us that the earth was only 4,000 years old, she laughed, we knew that was not true. mom explained that church was for moral reasons, not for science.

Carolyn4277 @carolyn4277.bsky.social · 1d

Like I would believe anything she says.

Why are you setting traps for fellow Americans? Are you working for Putin?

She is such a hypocrite.

Carolyn4277 @carolyn4277.bsky.social · 1d

Are you severely brain damaged? Republicans caused this 100% by wanting to be elitists in a democracy.

My parents told me to trust law enforcement.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

All you needed to do was vote blue, not red for Putin.

What could go wrong? Putin is making pop corn.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

Panama was almost the same thing. The USA is being robbed by all the rich, who never have to pay a medical bill.
