100%- it is time for a truce between liberals and leftists. The Republican Party is the most powerful singular threat to the American People, the United States, and mankind. The Republican Party must be destroyed.

👇👇👇
I'm already seeing centrists and leftists sniping at each other but the blame for this is 100% on the Republicans. This is what they do with power and it is imperative that we work together to keep them as far from it as possible, forever.
🤬🤬 this should fill all patriotic Americans with rage.
Melissa Tran came here on a Green Card at age 11.

She's since raised 4 kids, started a business, & is a beloved member of the Hagerstown community.

Trump is deporting her, despite a judge saying she poses no threat.

Is she the "worst of the worst"? Do you feel safer yet?

America being a poorly made nuclear reactor that could explode if the wrong people are put in charge of it makes a lot of sense actually.
I think this thread accidentally captures one of the most important things about politics that everybody routinely ignores.

An FBI agent-in-training filed a lawsuit after he was handed a letter signed by the bureau’s director, Kash Patel, saying that he was being “summarily dismissed” because of “political signage.” The only thing that could be, he quickly realized, was a rainbow pride flag that had hung near his desk.

He described his dismissal as the latest move by senior F.B.I. officials to play politics, damaging morale and hindering the bureau’s ability to carry out its public safety mission.

Trump: "I met with two pollsters the day before I got the news about covid because we were starting to think about the next election. They said, 'Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln came back from the dead and they aligned, you'd be beating them by 25 points.'"

I do think you can understand the present state of world affairs better if you believe that the worst person alive has, since 2017, been the most powerful person alive the majority of the time.

Why would the Epstein buddy president go out of his way to help sex trafficker Andrew Tate? Guess some mysteries are unsolvable.
The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

"The message is not that Trump is innocent, it's that *everyone is guilty.* Everyone assaults women, cheats on their taxes, uses public office for private gain. Propriety and following the rules? That stuff is for suckers. In a world of grift and graft, the most corrupt man should be king."

What makes a banana republic a banana republic is not any prosecution of the outgoing administration, but baseless, politically motivated prosecution. There is a whole literature which teaches that, if crimes against the public order occurred, failing to prosecute them hastens democratic decline.

i don't think that bush v. gore is the *worst* ruling in the history of the supreme court, but i do think it is the most openly *corrupt* ruling in its history. a real disgrace.
