I’m introducing a bill to lower recidivism for veterans involved in the criminal justice system so they may fully enjoy the benefits of the country they fought for.

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

Trump on Mamdani: "I think I'm a much better looking person than him, right? It's gonna be hard for me as the president to give a lot of money to New York, because if you have a communist running New York, all you're doing is wasting the money you're sending there."

If federal Democrats simply said that they won’t be cowed little sycophants and let Trump do whatever he wants because that’s the actual fucking job that they’ve been hired for—and Republicans won’t do theirs because they’re weak and useless, so many people would be energized behind them
The correct response to this is not to attack Trump or his cronies (they know what they’re doing), but GOP Reps and Senators for being sniveling little cowards and pieces of shit who won’t do their goddamn jobs and love licking Trump’s feet and getting publicly degraded while looting the Treasury
