I can't believe this commercial. The President of the United States behaves like a two-bit con man unworthy of earning even a chuckle. And he doesn't have a fucking clue. Sad.

While the numbers are declining, over 80% of males born in the U.S. have been circumcised. Historically, that number is close to 100% of Jewish men. It's safe to assume that Einstein, Freud & Oppenheimer were among them. They helped create modern science.
How does RFK explain his own stupidity?

Apparently, ‪@radiofreetom.bsky.social‬ is just fine with Trump claiming that a violent insurrection is currently happening in our nation and just fine for him to send heavily armed military into numerous major US cities to intimidate peaceful protestors.

The only real insurrection is occurring in Trump's rapidly declining brain. The Insurrection Act was created in 1807, just before he was born. 🙄

Trump is considering invoking the insurrectionist act.
There is no insurrection happening anywhere, he just wants to be able to violate our constitutional rights and end our democracy.

Trump keeps threatening to use the Insurrection Act. What is it?

President Donald Trump has said repeatedly he could invoke the 1807 statute, which gives the president the power to deploy the U.S. military domestically.

Trump's ICE immigration enforcement agents often refuse to show identification or their badges. That is only allowed in very specific situations, not in most normal situations.
We should not be forced to fear a secret police organization in our American democracy.

You don't need to be an Einstein to realize that people opposing anti-fascist groups are fascists.
The same is true of people attacking universities and educational institutions. People who fear education also fear reality. They need stupid people to stay in power.

When tax breaks for billionaires were set to expire in December, Republicans made that priority number 1—because heaven forbid billionaires have to worry about filling up their private jets!

But tax credits for families to afford health care? Republicans refuse to talk about it.

This is an average of current political polls. Highly respected polls show Trump's approval rating has plummeted to 40% with 60% disapproval. His numbers will continue to drop as he continues to do stupid things like sending ICE and our military into peaceful US cities.

Not yet. Trump himself was indicted on State-level charges as a co-conspirator in the 1/6 attack. In August 2023, a federal grand jury indicted him on charges related to the efforts to overturn the 2020 election that led to the 1/6 attack. Trump is a proven liar & convicted felon.
