What is he even saying? How would a country play games with a Supreme Court decision?

That same court granted him full immunity and anointed him a king, so thatโ€™s the other side of this coin.

This really is a great picture:

So, she thought that DOJ had collected and now houses every shred of evidence, making it inaccessible to anyone outside the U.S.? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿซฐ

This is so void of actual history that itโ€™s an obvious ploy to get rah-rahs from the stupids.

Having a white, middle-aged right-wing man say you did a good job is not a compliment for a woman.

Minnesotans are tough, no bullshit people. (As an aside, itโ€™s unhinged that Noem still has her job after whatโ€™s happened in Minnesota).

๐Ÿ’ฏ And at this point the fact that the majority of people still donโ€™t understand โ€œthere will be no more political power transfersโ€ is absurd. Staking the future of American democracy on a midterm election that will not be fair or legitimate is asinine.

Thereโ€™s a zero percent chance that wasnโ€™t intentional. What a pathetic shanty The Post has become. Anyone who still works there should be ashamed.

Thatโ€™ll be lit for U.S. tourism. Scenes of thuggery and arrests will play super well around the world.

Imagine going to school, learning about the horrors of the holocaust, the immorality and evil of the Schutzstaffel and Gestapo, and then deciding you think itโ€™s a good idea to lease office space to ICE.

Whatโ€™s the point of your โ€œboth-sidesโ€ headline?

Itโ€™s incomprehensible to me that he posts like this over and over and over again, knowing full well that future generations in perpetuity will read them. I get that he feels no shame, embarrassment, or self-awareness, but how??

โ€œThe system is rigged again me!โ€ says the guy leading the party who controls every branch of the federal government. The level of stupid you have to be to keep believing this is immeasurable.

These people (MAGA) are pathetic. Their views and ideals are out of step with the vast majority of us. They sound increasingly lame and castrated and the world is moving on without them.

They control all branches of government, the media, the narrative, and a wide swath of culture, but still spend their days angry and screaming into the void. What an existence.

Notwithstanding that neither of them can be deported; deported for what exactly? For advocating love over hate? Unity over division?

Thereโ€™re still thousands of uninvited DHS officers in Minneapolis.

And NBC canโ€™t even say the โ€˜Lโ€™ word when meekly admitting their interviewee lied.

How weak and pathetic of you to fact check after the interview airs and post it to your social media hours later, thus separating the interview from the lies.

I canโ€™t imagine being even 1% as rich as him and spending as much time as he does complaining in front of a screen. Iโ€™d be minding my own business while being extremely offline, sitting on a beach, driving my dream car, and generally just chilling out while someone managed my philanthropy.

Every other reporter needs to ask the same question, then when he answers abusively, one by one, get up and walk out until heโ€™s left alone in the room groveling.

If a handful of Republicans in Congress spoke up and held him accountable, then it would be major news, earth shattering, and end his presidency. The GOPโ€™s support and acquiescence to him is the entire reason none of these scandals matter.
