HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

This is a big deal, y'all. Federal health websites are being stripped of content or removed in their entirety. Stick with this thread for a look at what's disappeared so far! 1/x

Yep. Again....had Ross Ulbricht not have been a "King Fish" Crypto guy....with over $6 billion dollars as a result....that Trump can free up for him, this pardon would likely never have even been a discussion Trump had. #RossUlbricht
Something to think about with the Ross Ulbricht pardon. The feds are still sitting on $6.5 billion in bitcoin seized from silk road. If Trump gives it back to Ulbricht, he could easily pay back Trump by trading it for Trump coin. A potential bribe of millions or billions of dollars for a pardon.

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

I'll remind y'all that @laurahelmuth.bsky.social and I both did battle with RFK Jr. years ago. I wrote many times on what an anti-science ass he was and still is. Him running HHS could very well be the single worst disaster of the incoming administration.
