Trump did a lot to sow division between civilians and the military.

Of course, not more than HE did to show the military that he and his cronies don't give af about them.
Hey, Military Leaders,
You gonna do something to honor that oath to the Constitution you took sometime? Someday? Anytime?

“There were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood”
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

We are now seeing the highest gold and silver futures prices ever. This links directly to heavy speculation against the US dollar based on a sense that the US is now experiencing its worst economic misadministration in the period after World War II.

In Hillbilly Elegy, Vance lectured Appalachians for being lazy bums. He lectured "childless cat ladies" he claimed were unhappy. Now he's lecturing every woman with a white collar job for living a meaningless life.

Such a smug, condescending jackass. No wonder everyone hates him.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.
UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion
The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

It’s like the time LBJ was visiting the textile mill in Alabama and yelled “you motherfuckers need to recognize.”
President Trump made an obscene gesture with his middle finger and mouthed “f--- you” twice to a person who can be heard yelling “pedophile protector” at him during a tour of a Ford factory in Michigan — a reaction the White House said was “appropriate.”

A cellphone video captured Trump twice mouthing “f--- you” and raising his middle finger toward someone shouting at him inside the Ford factory.

Hey, @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov: I'm not a senator, but if ICE thugs were rampaging through the major city in my state, I might try to impede Senate business as usual and try to bring everything to a halt until I could get answers or force some votes.

And most importantly, public awareness is building and people are exercising their democratic muscle—protesting & building community awareness. As President Biden used to say, it doesn’t take all of us, it just takes enough of us.
I disagree with the suggestion in the NYT story today that rule of law is not working to stop Trump

Yes the "Trump judges" have been disproportionately bad, but the overall win rate of over 60% or >320 wins is still EXTRAORDINARY

And the wins in the most important areas have been even bigger👇

Shapiro: J.D. Vance is profoundly and pathetically a weak human being, and he does whatever he thinks his boss wants him to do.

What we need right now is not idiotic gaslighting from the sitting VP

He should be ashamed of himself—and he’s not. I think that speaks to the weakness of his character.

Anyone still pretending that this rabble of fascists and ammosexuals constitutes professional law enforcement is either a moron, a liar, or in the case of a Trumpist, both.
ICE agents only receive 300 hours of training before they’re turned loose on an unsuspecting public. Cops, get 1200 hours. Hairdressers, on the other hand, need 2400 hours. Make of that what you will.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.

America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "
