The Dangers of Downplaying Trump’s threats
Donald Trump accused six Democratic lawmakers of sedition and said their actions were “punishable by death” after they posted a video urging service members to refuse unlawful orders. Experts say the lawmakers did nothing illegal, and even more concerning, Trump’s hostile rhetoric comes amid a surge in political violence in the U.S.

Oh they laugh, alright. 🤡
Trump: "They don't laugh at us anymore. They respect us now, again. And that's what we want. We want to be liked. We want to be respected much more so than being liked. And you know in a certain way they like us better now too. Because the world was ripping off our country. Not sustainable."

Trump isn’t going to do anything to address ridiculous prices, but he will let you mortgage a house for 50 years!

His banker buddies will LOVE that. A $400,000 house will cost you a million dollars over 50 years.

What’s next, 10 year auto loans? 🤢
Trump and his cronies are now pushing 50-year mortgages.

Buckle up. This is going to make the 2008 mortgage crisis look like the good old days.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

Freedom to decide decide when to form a family, who to form it with and how we identify ourselves is a freedom this country is born of abuse and struggle. We are better for the freedom and that freedom is endangered by those who want to tell people who they are allowed and not allowed to be.
