Trump won the House, Senate and Presidency, took control, fired everyone, and now blames Democrats for the jet helicopter collision just down the street from him.

If you recklessly fire people in charge, bad things happen. The right can’t pass the blame. This is what happens when you create chaos.

Once Trump fails in his promises to make them great again, and he will, sooner than later, do you think these folks who have tons of weapons will spare Republicans? If so, you're not paying attention. They tried to kill Mike Pence.
A radicalized Trump voter was the one who tried to assassinate him. Radicalized Trump voters attacked the Capitol. A radicalized Trump voter blew up his Cybertruck in front of a Trump hotel. The GOP is playing with fire. They created this monster and they think they can tame it.

Good luck.

Tariffs punish the people living in the country that imposes them. The country exporting goods subject to tariffs lose sales due to price increases in destination country. I propose we don’t do retaliatory tariffs , support financially the exporters losing revenue and wait till US citizens say stop

He orchestrated a coup. It failed.

He was a convicted felon.

He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric.

He promised to make things great again.

He threatened to annex his neighbors.

I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

“70% the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours.” - President Sheinbaum to Trump.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

I’m saying it now with hopes that it sinks in: Donald Trump cannot take any oath of office until he is granted amnesty for breaking the last one he swore. That’s just straight up in the Constitution. 2/3 of each House. That’s the bar.

I will never understand how a billionaire, the richest man on Earth, spent millions to buy an election for ANOTHER billionaire, and told us that his policies would cause all of us non-billionaires “temporary hardship...”

...and the public didn't tell BOTH OF THEM to fuck off.
