If the courts don't slap her down, and fast, I want to see every Democratic representative use the same stunt to dish out some well-deserved slander against every GOP coward who refuses to push back against the traitor-in-chief.

Painting all activists with a single brush is an obvious attempt to dehumanize them. This is wrong. Full stop. It doesn't matter who they voted for, or even if they voted. Arresting people for their political views is what dictatorships do. It is not what we have come to expect, nor should it be.

Indeed.
Anyone who believes that bullying the victim of a brutal invasion is "leadership" is sorely mistaken. And the entire free world is finally ready to dump the abusive bf.

I don't know why they keep saying that the people who see him for what he is are somehow 'ill.' From where I sit, it's the people supporting this megalomaniac who are deranged.

Trump wants to know if there's gold in Fort Knox. (There is)
President Donald Trump said Elon Musk would be checking out Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there.
When did we all start living in a Saturday morning cartoon where the villain and his evil henchman have taken over the government, and the superheroes are all stuck in a cage hanging over lava somewhere?

We are trying to use reason with people who are too lazy to make an effort to know how their own government is designed to work.
People who still believe that AM talk radio is 'telling it like it is' are immune to facts.

After the year they've had, I wouldn't expect them to try rallying anyone. The others have more clout, by virtue of winning the office twice. They have a responsibility to say SOMETHING.

There's been some confusion over how to pronounce "DOGE." Sharing the proper, formal pronunciation is going to help a lot of people. For those who have forgotten, or never learned phonetic spelling, click on the link for an explanation and sound files: dictionary.cambridge.org/.../pronun.....
