My promise to everybody: I will absolutely NEVER vote for the political party that Klansmen, Nazis and Flat-Earthers vote for. Period.

American voters behaved like American consumers—expecting to return what they bought if they didn’t like it. Problem is, with Trump 2024 all sales are FINAL. Exchanges will take a lot of effort.

As much as we want to rip them a new one for getting us into this mess, when people on the right come forward and apologize and admit they were wrong, we should probably welcome them to the light.

As Spec’l elections fall to Dem’s in ‘safe’ R seats & Nov midterms loom closer, the panicked drumbeat of “election fraud” from the White House grows daily
TACO will do anything to control the midterms. We need to be prepared…reach out to the 89M that didn’t vote in 2024; we need them activated!

🚨Status Coup News just ended their Livestream in Minneapolis. They said that the ICE raids have NOT slowed down at all. They are documenting them daily. We cannot listen to Tom Homan when he feeds us the illusion that they are stepping back at all. We must keep the pressure HIGH on ICE.

The CHILDREN?
"There was very much a class aspect to this.
A lot of the YOUNG GIRLS came from broken homes and poor backgrounds.
Some of them had been abused in their own families.
CHILDREN WERE VIEWED, BASICALLY, AS OBJECTS … THEY WERE VIEWED AS DISPOSABLE CHILDREN."

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.
But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Trump, once again, posted something despicable on social media.
But he'll be a former president one day. And he's going to go down as the most disgraceful one in American history because of stuff like this.
The list is long. It won't be deniable. It won't be forgotten. Because we won't let it.

The Dems may win the mid terms. But they won’t take control of the house or the senate. Do you think this regime will just let a transition take place? They have too much to lose. Their liberty.
