One day we will find out what Putin has on Trump. I believe it's loaned Russian laundered money through Deutsche Bank that saved Trump's businesses after six bankruptcies in the '90s. It could be something more sinister but in any case Putin has Trump under his thumb, it's beyond obvious.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Anyone smear their feces on the Capitol walls today?
Beat up any cops with flag poles? Use mace or bear spray on them?
At least tell me someone constructed makeshift gallows and threatened to hang the vice president?
No?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
Y’all suck at political discourse.

The last time the government shut down was because Congress wouldn't pay for Trump's wall - you know, the one he said Mexico was going to pay for.
JD Vance: "Initially, they said that they wanted to shut down the government because Donald Trump was a dictator. That's absurd."

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.
