We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.
11,000 people showed up.
Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Welcome to autocracy. The Republic we have known for the last 240 years is gone. This is going to keep getting worse. Much worse. The courts mean nothing, the law means nothing, Congress is irrelevant. He is a malignant psychopath.

I’m not sure what was worse: that Merrick Garland couldn’t bring himself to prosecute Trump on his own and felt he had to bring in a special counsel as cover, or that he waited so long to do it that Smith never got Trump inside a courtroom.
History won’t be forgiving to Garland.

Jack Smith resigns from DOJ
The special counsel's departure was disclosed in a court filing submitted Saturday afternoon to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.

The MSM is so desperate to convince themselves that the views people have about Luigi are *checks notes* from the MSM.
🤣 They aren’t.
That’s hilariously and cartoonishly tone deaf.

As an aside,
I've had the AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Moderna vaccines and everyone I know has had one or more of all of these in different mixes.
We're all fine.
None of us have had side effects.
All of us have had COVID multiple times never ended up in hospital thanks to the vaccines

WRT vaccine technology and availability, then you are among a group that is experiencing a rapid extinction.
Which might, in fact, lead to an actual extinction if we shrink too small.

I'm quite happy here but was wondering: Are any of my gang unhappy enough that you're considering leaving for another platform (particularly return to X)?
If you care to share, why?
If not, what keeps you here?

My wife made this interesting comparison. Joe Biden lied about not pardoning Hunter. That directly affected one person, Hunter. Trump lied about not knowing anything about Project 2025, that affects tens of millions of people. Which will get more media attention?
the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
