Ain't that the truth?

Every toddler in America has more backbone and resolve than the average Republican.

Toddlers wail for a bottle. Mom brings one.

America wails for justice, decency and democracy.

Republicans leave town for a month.

Press in the rest of the world sees #Felon47 for what he is.

The billionaire owners of most MSM in the US are failing us, and they have been failing us for years.

If it's truly coming to an end, it's time to go all gas and no brakes.

Contact your representative and ask why they are protecting a pedophile.

The ICE stories in this Reddit thread should shake every American, regardless of party, to their core. We no longer have a Constitution. This is fascism, pure and simple.

This seems particularly appropriate. My birthday is Saturday.

It’s one of those f’in birthdays with a big 0 in it.

Back in the day. On the road. Speaking at a convention.
Somewhere in Texas.

Sometimes I miss it. I met some really interesting people.

Believe the women!

Release the #EpsteinFiles.

Let the chips fall where they may.

I want to see how many of 47’s family members are in them.

God @thegodpodcast.com · 15h

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesn’t have to be the Speaker).

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Even though they’ve shut down our government, Congress won’t be missing a paycheck.

Congress should pay for its own healthcare coverage.

They should only receive salary when they work…which isn’t much.

Congress under the GQP has done nothing for us, but hey, we can bail out Argentina.

Gordon Wark 🤬💥😡🔥🕗🕕🕓🕖 @1stwark.bsky.social · 2d

In the beginning The Founding Fathers felt that all members of Congress should be paid per diem. They were paid only for time worked.

We need to go back to that.

47’s regime is continuing their push towards authoritarianism by controlling and manipulating information.

They want to control the narrative. Don’t let them.

Question everything coming from the WH.

If these folks are breathing, they are lying.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

You know SS Miller called peaceful protesters “street terrorists” yesterday.

I urge you to join the #NoKings protest Oct. 18th.

There are more of us than them.

Let’s stand together against this madness!

We must‼️
