Nigel Farage promised Brexit would help you.

Nigel Farage stood down 319 Reform candidates to help Boris deliver THIS SPECIFIC version of Brexit.

So if he's convinced you to blame other people for the fact that this Brexit hasn't helped you...

You're as thick as frozen shit.

News --> Senator Mark Kelly just filed a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth, alleging that his campaign of retribution violates the First Amendment and is designed to silence congressional criticism of Trump. He calls on the court to end this harassment.

1) Noem obstructed Congressional oversight & withheld Congressionally appropriated funds.

2) Noem compromised public safety, violated citizzen's due process, & directed unconstitutional actions.

3) Noem abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates.

Pete Buttigieg is absolutely correct. We must hold Noem accountable for what happens in her department.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

If this is all there is to the govts road safety strategy then we are doomed.
It's dismal and will barely reduce danger to others.

There should be a lot more to target persistent offenders before they end up killing.

Cheap tin sheds.
Low rates and rent.

5 years ago, there was a bloody, lawless, and deadly attack on our nation’s Capitol. A group of criminal thugs broke out in riots and stormed our Capitol in an attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election at the direction of the President of the United States.
