You proud of yourselves, protest and stay home voters? Cuz I'd like you all to fuck off.
On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.

1/? What "leftists" are going to learn through all of this "burn it all down" foolishness that they have engaged in for the last 9 years is once you lose rights, they are very hard to get back. We are going on 3 years without Roe. There is no quick fix to get it back.

Wow.
Dr Oz, Trump's new CMS boss, during height of covid: "Schools are a very appetizing opportunity. I just saw a nice piece in The Lancet arguing the opening of schools may only cost us 3% in terms of total mortality. Any life lost is a life lost, but that might be a tradeoff some folks would consider"
