Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

If they are actually going to enforce deportations in FL at job sites then the construction industry in FL will grind to a halt.
Until they can replace those employees with US-born workers willing to work outside in the summer in 100 degree heat & humidity. Should be no problem.

Missouri is a model for what Republicans want to do to the entire country. They can’t legally defund an agency, but they can break it from the inside out.

Dear Trump, maga and the American People,
If you don't BREAK IT, you don't have to FIX IT.
And if you BREAK IT ON PURPOSE, you don't get to do a victory lap for FIXING IT.
This is not leadership.
It's the playbook of a weak weak weak and very sick man.
