They only care about the $$$$ they are getting. Besides, they probably convinced each other that 9-11 is a Democrat conspiracy.

I’ve told my family, I’m not buying a thing on those days!
These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.
From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Tonight there is a draft for a women’s pro baseball league and on Saturday I will watch the women’s soccer team I support play for a championship after their most successful season yet, surrounded by other diehard fans at a bar. I am living in a world 8-year-old me could have never imagined.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

“You don’t have to embarrass our guest” that is rich coming from that man. Our president would love to be able to brutally murder those he didn’t like….oh, wait…
Trump would do the same if he could get away with it. Tyrant.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Oh my god…how on earth is he still “in charge”? That fat bastard; doesn’t he look in a mirror? Never mind, I know ; he thinks he is a stud…diaper man.

When asked about the #EpsteinFiles this weekend, the President of the United States said, “QUIET. QUIET PIGGY!” to a female reporter.
The reason he still has a job is because we have baked in that he hates every girl & woman on the planet.
He has raped dozens of them and still has the nuke codes.

Oh don’t kid yourself, he has a plan, I’m sure.
This really needs to be stressed, as it seems obvious Trump is going to let them vote to release it and then pretend his hands are tied.
He’s had the power to release them all along, and still does. It’s just his excuses that are changing.

The second paragraph of every article about Trump freeing House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files should make it clear that he could order them released himself and chooses not to.

It’s more than holding on to office; it’s the $$$$ too
You just have to wonder, do elected Republicans EVER get tired of Trump threatening them the second they do something he disagrees with? Do they ever feel like soulless cowards when they remain silent while he does it to others? Is holding onto their office worth the debasement?

I feel like we are very close to MTG being relegated to obscurity. Not a minute too soon.
As I’ve been saying- they are part of the even farther right movement. She is not to be trusted in the least.
Lest you think Greene has changed her ways, here she is refusing to denounce Nick Fuentes, suggesting Bash have him on her show, and lying about having known him before she appeared at his conference.

Yup. It’s true…those cattle drives are crossing right over the Rio Grande and right passed the wall. Clever immigrants.

Agree! Remember before the election when Musk was quoted as saying Trump must be elected or he (Musk) was going to prison? Wonder why nobody looked onto that.
Theres a reason some r fighting so hard to keep him as POTUS. Prosecutions begin when this regime is gone!! Everyone of them know it & I believe after next years asskicking in the elections, they start to flee the country. Too bad they can't be stopped from leaving.

“Not enough pie eaters” does not compute! I’ m making the traditional pumpkin, pecan, and peach!
Is anyone planning pies??
My mother will make pumpkin and I'm doing cranberry curd tart like last year.
I miss my aunt's chocolate pecan and I love a true apple, but I don't think we have enough pie eaters to justify it.
What pies are YOU planning?
