I stay strong with Captain Kelly! Whiskey Pete is a drunken clown.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

He’s not stopping. Trump continues his desecration of the White House. Now he’s plastering the outside of the historic building with his tacky fake gold ornaments.

Of all the photos posted by the Strib related to the shooting at Annunciation Church, this was the one that got me the most. Maybe because we cant see the (presumably) mom’s face, so it seems more universal? arc.stimg.co/startribunem...?

The Trump regime is about to burn 500 tons of USAID emergency food. Why?
Because it expired after its shipment was delayed.
1.5 million children could have eaten for a week. Now, taxpayers will spend $130K for it to be destroyed.
This isn’t just inefficient – it’s cruel.
