Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Gaslighting is the entire GOP playbook. From ‘biggest crowd ever’ to ‘normal tourist visit,’ they’re betting you’ll ignore reality. If we allow them to keep rewriting history, they’ll keep burning the truth to the ground.

Secret Service agents arrived yesterday at Hamline Elementary School in Chicago searching for an 11-year-old child who posted an anti-Trump video. AN ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD CHILD.
The principal said school administrators followed protocols and denied entry to the agents.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.
It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.
