Dude talks about a female volleyball player receiving a traumatic brain injury because of transgender people in sports. What about the brain injuries to officers because of your goons you sent to attack us.

Correct. And that is their aim.
I realized today that Trump, Musk, DOGE, Vance, Miller, Vought and their many collaborators have broken so many laws already that they know they have to destroy our government and entire way of life to stay out of jail. This is all or nothing. We should respond accordingly.

Judge Coughenour was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."
Reagan-appointed judge again blocks Trump’s unconstitutional attempt to rescind birthright citizenship.

There isn't a plan. There's no nine-dimensional chess. He's not a mastermind. He's an angry man drunk on his own power, picking stupid fights for no reason, all to demonstrate "strength." There's no defense for this.

Canadians booing the U.S. national anthem isn’t something I ever thought I’d see, but this is what happens when you let a psychopath criminal with isolationist and protectionist policies back into the White House.
