We have persecuted these people for five hundred years. President Biden apologized. It was long overdue. But, it was at least a start. Now, this cunt has sent his criminal squads in again. As a nation we need to stop this. Enough is enough.

Required viewing. The truth goes back 15 years. We were sold out. Your president was compromised, and he has committed treason to stay in power. I have faith. He will stumble and take them all down with him.

I was mad when his StarLink satellites were leaving light trails in pictures from telescopes. I was furious about him rigging the 2024 election and then running DOGE through our Civil Servants with a chainsaw. But this makes me sick... I hope he feels the weight of every child pressing on his soul.

Just "Doing our duty" is to the Constitution, not to a wannabe dictator. General Milley could not have made that any clearer.

I'm fed up with our media. No one calls him out. To sit in that room, day after day, and listen to him spout nonsense is to be complicit in what is happening to our country. If you can't do the job, step out of the way. Fact-check every inane utterance and print the truth with his statement.
“Biden started wars, because he was stupid.” - Donald Trump.

One thing President Biden wasn’t, was stupid. Show some respect for your better.

That’s the problem with a narcissist and a delusional idiot. Anything that comes from their lying mouths is a tell about themselves.

Don't roll your eyes. Trump's swing that the election would be fair 3 days before the election was a tell for me. They used Starlink satellites for the cellular hack. Harris had too much momentum to lose. Trump ought to offer me a job. I've seen the faults in his plan.

Further proof that Trump and Stephen Miller are reenacting Nazi Germany beyond 'Alligator Alcatraz' is the truth behind his Government shutdown. They are recreating the children of Auschwitz. There is no reason to shut down the government other than to rob it blind. Article II, Section 4, them all.
