Your neighbor breaks into your house, occupies 4 rooms, shoots at your family for 3 years. Trump's "peace deal": neighbor keeps all 4 rooms PLUS gets a 5th room they never reached. You can only own 1 gun and can't join neighborhood watch. Neighbor promises not to rob anyone else. #TrumpUkraineDeal

Jimmy Kimmel to Trump tonight: "I'll go when you go, okay? We'll be a team. Let's ride off into the sunset together like butch Cassidy and the suntan kid. [ Laughter ] And until then, if I may borrow a phrase from you: 'quiet, piggy.'"

Notice a difference in how Democracy Docket framed Trump's threats vs how legacy media did? This is no accident. They are more interested in normalizing Trump to please their corporate overlords. Democracy Docket is only interested in providing you the truth. Support its work. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

I hope MAGA "patriots" are ready to go do those farm jobs.

They need to get ready to be in those fields, or those crops aren't getting harvested.
