This Administration is turning its back on science. If you never had the measles or polio, thank science. If you use a smartphone as easily as a computer, thank science. If you want to know if it will be raining tomorrow, thank science. A total disaster is coming.

CNN reports that the January 6 criminals have been told they are invited to attend inaugural balls tonight. They are going to be released from the D.C. jail momentarily.

All are insurrectionists.

We are not a democracy anymore, folks. We do not have rule of law.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

His insane nominations...

His promises to deploy the military on home soil...

His threats to go after anyone who opposes him...

Now, there are messages going out to specific communities threatening deportation and "re-education camps".

It's by design.

His objective is to fill you with fear

Elon Musk admits Trump’s economic plans will collapse the U.S. economy — he then goes on to say: “that it's necessary for Americans to experience some temporary hardship"…

These words were actually spoken by a ‘foreign agent’ who just happens to be the ‘world’s richest man.’

Remember that.
