I'm surprised trump has taken to mass executions of immigrants on Black sites.
Interesting. I don't recall the Democrats demanding any of these things. This Nazi is doing that thing where they add or take away a word or two to change the meaning. Gotta keep the MAGA cult happy.

Oh, what an ironic statement fm Sabrinia Carpenter, given the leader of the republicans is/has been accused of some the same criminal offenses, (criminal, rapist, pedophile) they are lodging against immigrants w/out providing substantive, reliable proof. So, I guess she & GOP are both stupid & slow.
Wait, the White House is going to war with Sabrina Carpenter? Oh, this is going to get good.
Does the White House think this is going to win them support with Gen Z?

Wisdom of ancient ancestors: Throw salt behind a person, those that symbolize everything unclean, negative -evil, and of unwanted influences. Unfortunately, no one thought to do this when djt left the White House the 1st time, had just one person thought to do so, might things have been different

We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins.

NEW UPDATE:

The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.

Sen. Mullin: "We know that the Navy or the Coast Guard picked up survivors already and sent them back to their country."

Bash: "Could that be because a lawyer in the Pentagon said 'you can't do that again'?"

Sen. Mullin: "No…Why do we care if we take them out in international water?"

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth 100% committed war crimes. The only question is whether there is an international body that can hold them accountable? We know the US system won't thanks to the corrupt GOP Supreme "Court"

Did anyone actually expect different from an administration led by a convicted criminal?
Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

When entirety of those placed in positions of power over the legal sys is corrupt, evil, beholding to a deranged leader, whole sys must be scrubbed clean of th/dishonest, corrupted & evil officials to regain control & put in place those that will work for a sys of justice that will work for all.
This Is Good, But ICE Will Ignore It….

HUGE VICTORY: A judge just ruled EVERYONE picked up by ICE is entitled to a bond hearing in front of a judge – no more disappearing people into indefinite detention, for no reason. 👏 GOOD.

I always hated the “drain the swamp” rhetoric. But we certainly have created a swamp in DC under Trump and he’s filling it quickly.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

The evil is not due to trump alone, but to every republican and billionaire in this country and every American that voted to empower evil and destruction, for that is what they've bought to the U.S.
That is all I see from trump...the return of stone age racism and bigotry and the will to do evil to our fellow man in this country. I am almost ashamed to be an American in the trump era, but fortunately I am fighting tooth and nail.. Anything I can that might end trump's dystopia society i will.
