MAGA disrupter...just eliminate all Green Lights. When you get to a traffic light, only flashing Red or Yellow. Maximum chaos. No plan. Burn it all down...MAGA voters will blindly follow. It's all theater...the real MAGA motto...Let Robber Barrons Loot America...bathrooms are for State Secrets.!

Sen. Eric Schmitt on Pete Hegseth: "Ultimately, this is a decision that President Trump made to bring in another disrupter ... he's not been charged with anything. I think that's important."

So if a MAGA can see a flag burning, they can't help themselves but start a riot? Sounds like that's a MAGA problem, not a flag burner's problem.

Trump: "Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a far left extremist who inscribed the words, 'hey fascist, catch' -- meaning catch the bullet -- onto the bullet shelf itself."

Trump said he didn’t write the infamous birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that referenced ‘a wonderful secret,’ claiming, ‘It’s not the way I speak.’ Unfortunately for Trump, Jimmy Kimmel Live! brought the receipts.

The indictment of James Comey is just the latest example of Trump weaponizing the Justice Department to go after his political enemies.

At the same time, he’s doling out favors to his supporters and allies – including white collar criminals. Watch: https://youtu.be/NflcWXdV-B0?si=QTTJev6Fml50pYgP

Fairbanks is NOT crunchy Alaska. its highly military - major Army and Air Force bases (tho im not sure about % who live in city limits) - and generally views itself as the Real Alaska Answer to Might-as-Well-be-Seattle Libtard Anchorage

(Anchorage being 'Left' is laughable but a different topic)

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

The Justice Department had 36 attorneys assigned full-time to investigate corrupt politicians when Trump took office in January.

Today it has two.

See how this works?

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

It’s the silence of the Republican House you need to hear. They aren’t doing anything. No oversight. No work. Trying to blame Democrats for their incompetence. We have voices. Use them peacefully and patriotically to protest your government. They want violence. Don’t give it to them.

Trump posted on Truth Social this morning claiming that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Seriously? ICE officers are upset they can’t use restrooms or grab brunch.

For 4 years we listened to right-wing media and Trump blame anything and everything on Biden. Trump owns it all now. The economy with his tariff decisions and the damage to farmers, etc. Trump and the GOP own the shutdown and the damage to federal workers.
