The Trump baby balloons first were used in 2018 and became ubiquitous at protests. They depicted the infantile personality of Trump and seemed rather innocent. Now we see that if they were made today they should look like the image here which I accessorized to show how dangerous he has become.

How many Republican members of Congress, GOP politicians and pundits, and MAGAts in general have stopped saying “this is just Trump being Trump” and now realize that this is so far beyond abnormal that if it was an illness whose severity could be measured by a thermometer it would have exploded.

Hell, my photo is already here and on other social media, so this is me with the new sign I made. I'll be usiing it at a protest today. If they really want to come get me the protest is at 1:30 today. There will be lots of people to take photos of them arresting someone on their 82nd birthday.

Homeland Security said a Venezuelan immigrant was shot in the leg after "violently" resisting arrest.
If ICE Gestapo are going to make these claims of people violently resisting it is only common sense that they must be required to wear body camrea and have them on all of the time.

What the f*ck makes Trump think he can run Venezuela, you may ask? Oh, ye of little faith, he is convinced he has a bigger brain than Einstein and is more powerful than Superman.

The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Green Berets train for arctic conditions and probably other US units. Are they ready to put their skills to the test against soldiers in Greenland who live there?

I knew of her since she was mayor of nearby Happy Valley, then my GOP House member. We were glad when she lost to a Dem. She landed this job and was a diehard Trump toady. Critics accurately described her rise from mayor of a small city to Labor head as FAILING UPWARDS. Hope she falls downwards now.

Maria Corina Machado offered her Nobel medal made of 18-carat green-gold plated with 24-carat gold outside to Trump, (not pure gold). Looks like he'll make a show of accepting it. She got $1 million US dollars too. Will she give this to him in cash along with the medal. www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

You shouldn't need a Magic Eight Ball to predict what is coming as Trump continues to pursue the Donroe Doctrine which, ironically, might as well be on cocaine.
