When you kill innocents on the open seas as a justification for war, you're scared AF at what the public will discover in the Epstein files.

You are absolutely right. There’s so much more they could be doing during this shutdown. A daily briefing from a dem leader, ads in red state newspapers, sit downs with the bro bloggers..
Congressional Dems won't even do daily fact checking press briefings from the Capitol. literally thousands of press are right there in the House and Senate press galleries -- it would be their "beat". A HUGE missed opportunity! Waving of the white flag of surrender.

Your boss, company CEO, pastor, or college president posted a video of himself or herself dropping shit on you and your colleagues from a jet, what would you think? The President of the United States of America posted just such a video. What have we become? Why are people supporting such a lunatic?

The only hate I saw yesterday was the people with crunched up faces driving by giving all of us smart people (according to tRump) the finger.

@schumer.senate.gov You know how you show up at college grad ceremonies? Visit those same cities and hold “Speak Out” sessions in the street. Stand with us in the streets with a mic and let us address Trump. Dem leaders across the country should do this on the same day.

Dem leaders: Host “Speak Out” events in the streets of your districts. Stand with a mic in the street and let voters speak their minds! Americans have a lot to say to Trump!

Yesterday Pam Bondi demoted herself from AG to trailer trash hood-rat criminal. Dishonest, corrupt, owned, social graces of a rattle snake.
No class. Just trash.
( is this just a meme or did she counsel canned ham to use DoorDash for future bribes?)

Do you know that scene in the first season of Peaky Blinders where they have a bonfire and burn pictures of the king? Yeah, that …
IMHO: We need more public, non-violent acts of resistance in the streets.

Only guessing, but does Hegseth’s character and manliness include getting drunk in a strip club and trying to get on stage with the strippers?

Wait. Only “detainees” were killed and injured but it was an attack on ICE? Is this correct?

Trump is saying that he is occupying cities (ones with black mayors only so far) because of crime. To me, a bigger, nationwide problem that actually called for federal action is that the number one killer of children and teens in the U.S. is gun violence.
