Itโs #VeteransDay! Thank you to each & every person who served this country.
Itโs disgraceful that the senate GOP, House GOP & the felon occupying the WH, will spout worthless accolades your way, while withholding adequate healthcare and SNAP from you.

Whatโs worse, the NBA Players cheating at cards, and probably much else, or the Democrats cheating on Elections. The 2020 Presidential Election, being Rigged and Stolen, is a far bigger SCANDAL. Look what happened to our Country when a Crooked Moron became our โPresident!โ We now know everything. I hope the DOJ pursues this with as much โgustoโ as befitting the biggest SCANDAL in American history! If not, it will happen again, including the upcoming Midterms. No mail-in or โEarlyโ Voting, Yes to Voter ID! Watch how totally dishonest the California Prop Vote is! Millions of Ballots being โshipped.โ GET SMART REPUBLICANS, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!
The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. Itโs becoming more explicit.
(Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

Everyoneโs talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But hereโs the point most are missing: Heโs openly floating treason and civil war.
โSeizing institutions and purging them.โ Isnโt rhetoric, itโs a test to see how far Trumpโs followers will go.
