Trump, Johnson & pals want Americans to fall for their ‘wait & see’ stalling tactics. The joke? They’ve got nothing to show. High tariffs? How are those new factories? Kicking out migrants? How’s that worker shortage? When do prices drop? What’s Trump offering Canada as the 51st state? Answer, plz!

What would a Russian saboteur do if they became U.S. president? 🤔

Weakening NATO, crippling the economy, fueling division, dismantling intelligence, and ensuring America collapses from within. Sound familiar?

Trump fits the profile. Investigate him immediately.

Trump needs to ask himself, as Hitler should have asked himself, how many fronts is he willing to fight on?

Things we took for granted in our leadership, things like goodness, wisdom, and basic truthfulness are no longer in play, and as things are eroding quickly here we wanted to let you know that we're sorry.

I block those in my replies who:

🚫 support war crimes;
🚫 push propaganda of abusive governments;
🚫 dismiss victims' suffering;
🚫 fling hate;
🚫 use whataboutism;
🚫 use strawman arguments;
🚫 engage in sealioning.

I encourage you to block them, too.
