There is a reason he’s forced to cause all of this chaos. He has NO PLAN. He funds no programs, no healthcare, no education, no lower prices, money coming in only supports more chaos. He envies other dictators. I challenge ANYONE to tell me just one single thing he’s accomplished? Discussion open

Most of Kyiv is without electricity, there's not enough even for critical infrastructure after the Russian attacks.
Many are without heating, as well.
A lot of stores have to close because generators cannot cope in the cold.
Most trolleybuses and trams stopped due to lack of electricity.

"One of ours, all of yours" is a combat mentality.

DHS launched a new policy: "One of ours, all of yours."
Do they want VBIEDs? Because this is how you get VBIEDs on American streets. They're literally trying to create an insurgency.

Donald Trump has done everything in 10 years to weaken the United States domestically and globally and to strengthen China and Russia.
Blowing up NATO, the trade wars, unleashing ICE on US communities, and inciting an insurrection.
This makes America worse.
All for white power and greed.

Before Trump, law enforcement were trained to behave professionally. At a traffic stop they would start with words such as "Mam, may I see your drivers license and registration."
ICE evidently trains their goons to start a stop with screamed profanity, quickly followed by violence.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Iran saw its most explosive night of protests. Basij bases were overrun in Rasht and Kashan, regime buildings torched in Yazd and Esfahan. In Tehran, protesters filled the streets unopposed. Despite the blackout, footage still escapes. Reza Pahlavi calls for more. The regime is losing its grip.
