What Happened Last Week in U.S. Politics (Aug 3–9, 2025) This week was tariffs biting deeper, political trench warfare escalating, and a high-profile summit that may be more theater than diplomacy.

This post is not a policy argument, it’s propaganda. It uses fear, misrepresentation, and logical sleight of hand to justify mass removals without due process, which would be a catastrophic violation of American legal norms and basic human rights.

Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid

They want us to go back to how the US was in 1879 with their tariffs and culture war.

Let’s take them back to how France was in 1789 with our guillotines and desire for real freedom

I keep waiting for right-wingers to start living their lives the way they tell everyone else to live theirs.

Normalize calling MAGAs snowflakes when they get mad at not having their way 24/7

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

This is the way. If you can convince just one person, it’s worth it

The funniest thing now is people trying to justify that the US owning Gaza is a good thing, particularly people from the left. It’s OK to admit you made a mistake

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

This is one of the major problems of our day that need to be addressed as soon as possible.

Someone just told me the rights in the constitution apply only to American Citizens and that’s why it’s not a problem to deport students on visas who protest against the conflict in Gaza.

It’s clear people in this country have no idea about government and civics.

I urge everyone reading this to keep your spirits high and to make up your Goddamn mind to be a steel-spined, unrelenting, ultra-resilient, super-charged, motherfucker on wheels.

Toss every thought of, "I can't," out on its ass with such a fierceness that those thoughts wither and die on the vine.

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid.

This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Reminder that Trump is a vengeful piece of garbage and an absolute waste of C-12. Hell, I’m mad I’ve used my mind and hands to even have to discuss that absolute 💩

Puerto Rico is absolutely beautiful!! Took these back in June 2024. I think they need be a state by now.

Trump sucks and hasn’t made anything that actually matters better, just shutting on people cuz he’s a vengeful little troll.
