When people say, "Our government this, or our government that." You know you're referring to yourself right? You, me, every single US citizen is government. That whole, by, for, and of the people thing. Maybe you should start taking a more active role in "our government" before bitching about it.

I tend to agree. Our constitution has been proven ineffective. I believe it was Jefferson who said the constitution should expire every 19 years so that fresh eyes and younger minds could write a new one expressing new ideas.
Will Americans stop telling the world how amazing their constitution is, now that it's been proven to be a farce?
Imagine even letting this idiot stand for public office 🤣
And don't forget the amendments. They use guns to kill kids but not to stop their corrupt government... 😑

TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

If and when we awake from this national nightmare, people need to start waking the fuck up and taking a more active role in OUR government. We need to demand schools teach civics and drop sports. Research the talking points of any candidate before voting. Above all,FUCKING LEARN FROM THIS MISTAKE!

I get it, you believe protesting is the way to stop him. Well, it hasn't stopped him from murdering people in small boats.
It hasn't stopped him from invading another country.
It hasn't stopped him from bombing other countries.
But it makes you "feel good".
HE DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT!

Been mostly off social media reading CALVIN AND HOBBES all day. I treated myself to the Complete set and dove in.
It’s as funny, gorgeous, and full of heart as it’s always been. You can’t adapt this. When something is perfect, anything less than what it is seems a waste. You can’t improve on it.

Yes, it is a distraction from the Ebstine files. But people died in those bombings, facilities were destroyed. All to serve ultra rich oil assholes and their pet shitgibbon. Yes, he raped children, let's not forget that, but right now I'm more concerned about the start of another world war.

Painting the ground today. The areas not painted will be painted to look like stone, except for the ramp, which is the road.

Congress might as well pack up and go home. What exactly is their function at this point, kissing the orange shitgibbon's ass?

Are you waking up yet?
Or do you still think it's business as usual? If you have military age kids, I suggest thinking really hard how badly you want them safe. Stop thinking this is going to go away without bloodshed.

So all you waiting to "vote him out" by voting in the midterms, he just attacked a sovereign nation without a real reason. They pose no threat to us, and apparently congress is MIA once again. But go ahead, protest more, his majesty might take notice. Enjoy your dictatorship.

So how soon before another country decides he's a threat and takes him out?
And what country will it be?
