They think they're hysterical, too (it's so amusing how they don't get that they aren't funny).

But someone else had to create the video for him, which is even more disturbing.

Just the President & Vice President trolling half the people they're supposed to serve, posting like incels in their mothers' basements, playing the country like it's a video game that doesn't affect real human beings.

Zero self-awareness - they don't even get that they're not the least bit funny.

- Going broke to own the libs
- Losing healthcare to own the libs
- Giving up the right to due process to own the libs
- Trashing the Constitution to own the libs
- Losing farms to own the libs
- Moving grandma from the nursing home to a bed in the middle of our living room to own the libs...

P.S. Both of these are currently in jeopardy, as the President is trying to rule as a Monarch with no accountability, and our Representatives in Congress are not serving as a check on the Executive Branch OR representing the interests of their constituents (the reasons for the No Kings protest).

- Constitutional Republic: The head of state is elected rather than inheriting the position (not a Monarchy) and is accountable to the public & the Constitution.

- Representative Democracy: The citizens elect officials to represent their issues and make policy decisions on their behalf.

I'm so sick of this argument and maga thinking it's such a "gotchya."

The U.S. is a Constitutional Republic with Representative Democracy. Complex thought: two things can be true.

That's why the press should bring this up at a press conference where there's a larger audience. It came from the White House, so ask Karoline to explain why they needed footage from red states if Chicago is in such chaos.

Epstein was obscenely wealthy - sure seems like there was a huge market for what he was selling. If those files ever come out, I wonder how we will even deal with what we learn. It's stomach-turning to contemplate how widespread this is.

The reporter said he was at a children's detention center.
But, yeah, not really much better.

That was only a slogan to get votes. They don't need their voters anymore.

Even more why they would never imagine future Congresses so willingly handing over their power!

Of course. The founders probably never imagined Congress would just stop doing their job!

Maybe we, the citizens they're supposed to represent, should file a class action lawsuit against Congress for dereliction of duty. I have no idea if this is actually a thing, but it should be! We're paying taxes (including their salaries), and we're not being represented!

Same in Chicago. It's surreal, all this manufactured chaos so they can literally say up is down. Tackling nonviolent protesters while deploying tear gas as drones fly overhead filming footage for propaganda. Coordinated chaos to say "Look! Chicago is burning! Radical left terrorists! Blah blah..."

I'd like to know when Congress is going to do something! They're the only ones with the power to stop this madness. How far are they going to let this go? Their children and grandchildren will be inheriting the country they're allowing to be destroyed. I can't even comprehend their complicity.

The narrative will be "Look! Chicago is burning! Look at these violent thugs from the radical left attacking ICE!" But it's all manufactured chaos. It's pretty crazy when you think about them doing this on purpose - attacking their own citizens to create a fake scenario as excuse for National Guard.

Yup. The narrative will be "Look! Chicago is burning! Look at these violent thugs from the radical left attacking ICE!" But it's all manufactured chaos. It's pretty crazy when you think about them doing this on purpose - attacking their own citizens to create an enemy for their followers to hate.
