It took this this long for his support to fade? This bloated man-child never deserved any of the support he got. Racism and violent rhetoric got a lot of hateful/ignorant people to vote for him. They allowed this bully to take the highest seat in the land, twice.

Many know that Dems have to stand up to these bullies. So many programs are gutted, militarization in cities, etc. Dems have to take a stand. Republicans totally own this shutdown.

No suprise, look at all the GOP pedos getting arrested. Some run mega churches and were huge donors to this admin.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

This is why I follow ACLU. So many cases going on. So many judges standing up, in the face of danger from violent rhetoric from people like Stephen.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

Why can't the CA Gov tell them to stand down? The Guard is first guided by the Gov, it is included in the oath.

We have to have accountability. We have too many vile people not being held accountable. Netanyahu, Trump, and Putin. And their minions like Stephen Milller haven't been held accountable the first time!

I would buy the cookies simply because his rant included "Godly womanhood". It is wild that some rando man is trying to define feminism. Women don't need a definition. We can exist without labels.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.
