Stephen, I do believe he’s one of America’s national treasures. My favorite poet.

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

This is what you get when ICE recruits were the J-6ers, Proud Boys & OathKeepers.

Now they’re getting paid (handsomely) to be Trump’s Brown Shirts.

This is what happens when an insurrection goes unpunished.

It hits like the shot of the napalmed child in Vietnam. I was 20. The world shifted.

Whoa. Hope them boys don't have to chase down any door dashers on bikes. Unless someone films it.

She's gonna need an armed drone or an IED placed strategically to defend America against those vicious assailants.

I am shaken after watching her disregard for law & Congress. She's like Noem. Lawless & sure of herself as an outlaw. Scary shit.

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

Hollywood’s First Amendment Crusaders Are Back

Highly doubt it. Must seem either gagged or disinterested. I'm guessing most of the J6ers (those who aren't either dead or back in prison for horrific crimes) all of the proud boys and a large segment of the 3%ers. Just my guess.
