Bunch of Senators on both sides sounding the alarm about possible boots on the ground in Iran after their classified briefing today.

I was told Kamala was going to send my children to fight in Iran. What happened?

Marco, your political capital is in arrears. You've blown any future you thought you had.

Success in this business brings a certain freedom that comes with responsibility to support each other, to lift others up when we can, to keep the door open for the next kid, the next lost boy who's looking for a place to belong.

WHEN we flip the House and impeach trump, one charge should be Obstruction of Justice.

Oh, he's consequential alright...

Honestly, I think it's simply money and connections.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Seriously, could the #Democrats run an ad with #PamBondi not turning around to look at the #Epstein victims??? And ask "what are you hiding"

Let’s all call Massie today and get him to switch parties. Then force Gonzalez to resign. Then get the gavel, issue some subpoenas, and impeach some motherfuckers
