Well worth the time o
to watch.
This video is for all US citizens who are currently overwhelmed by Trump's more than 200 executive orders.

THIS should be retweeted to the MAX.

As Yogi Berra used to say, 'It's deja vu all over again.'

This is so reminiscent of Trump's 1.0 term with his vaporware health and infrastructure plans. Once again, it's always 'concepts' of a plan.

BREAKING: Today, Kamala Harris supporters honored the peaceful transfer of power.
Unlike January 6, 2020, no armed insurrectionists stormed the Capitol. smeared feces on the walls, called for the VP to be killed, or paraded the Confederate battle flag through its hallowed halls.

It seems Trump is quickly losing his gloss.

"To take this bill yesterday, and congratulate yourself because it’s shorter in pages, but increases the debt by $5 trillion, is asinine.”
