OK, so the delusional DJT just told those at hit 100 day rally that he was going to assure that the US would be putting MAN ON MARS VERY SOON. He also said “promises made, promises kept “ over his first 100 days. TIME FOR THE 25th Amendment as he is certifiable

Let’s stop pretending your movement is about “freedom.”

It’s about rage.

It’s about grievance.

It’s about power—and a deep-seated loathing for anyone who holds a mirror up to your ignorance.

Just to Be Clear: You Don’t Get to Wave Hate and Pretend It’s Patriotism Danny I.P. – No Retreat. No Surrender. April 22, 2025
Let’s get something straight—because far too many people in this country think that vulgarity equals bravery, and waving a flag covered in filth makes them freedom fighters.

So Trump likes to say he solves everything and eggs are plentiful and down 87%! Well, I just came from Trader Joes where prices are usually low. Here are the receipts showing Trump lying. Still scarce and still pricey 😱😖😖😖😖😖

Please don’t forget about Andry Hernandez Romero. He is in the gulag in El Salvador where he is suffering from torture. He is not a criminal and was kidnapped by ICE for absolutely no reason other than he was Venezuelan. Please repost because all the men in the Gulag had no due process.

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

We know that Trump and his WH will lie and commit fraud in order to convince his followers that he is right and Garcia is a terrorist. When he finally gets his day in court, he will have an opportunity to show Trump to be the liar he has ALWAYS BEEN 😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖
Trump photoshopping MS-13 onto Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles should be CRIMINAL and a MUCH BIGGER STORY!

Pls ❤️ and share wide!

If you want to understand today’s Republican Party members in congress and their absolute fealty to a soulless leader, just remember the 918 people who drank the KoolAid in Jonestown. Don’t let America become the next Jonestown 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

Do you want #dueprocess if you get arrested?

Does every person have the right to defend themselves before a court of law if charged with a crime? #NoKings

We must expect and demand that the executive branch follow the law.

We must expect and demand that the executive branch comply with court orders.

To expect and demand anything less is a form of obeying in advance.

Defeatism is a form of surrender.
