People getting caught at the border has hit a all time low, this isnโ€™t because they are not crossing itโ€™s because Trumps administration isnโ€™t catching them. Instead they are busy sending anyone currently in the US they can and counting them as illegal. This will catch up with themโ€ฆ

We love our Canadian brothers and sistersโ™ฅ๏ธ please donโ€™t give up on us because we are fighting to get rid of this administration that is full of hate!

Love,
The majority of Americans

It was Trump who extended the protection for adult children at the end of his last term. Normally secret service protection covers any child up to age 16 but Trump put in an order that would extend the coverage for adult children for 6 months following the term. It costs taxpayers millions

Exactly, he allowed wealthy business owners to claim their kids as employees. Thatโ€™s likely where this spending is from.

See what happens when we allow someone ignorant in the White House? They appoint people who have no clue what they are doing. These were under Trump and mishandled by his Secretary Mnuchin that he appointed. ncrc.org/government-d...

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is only 2.5 miles from a US state.

The freaking hypocrisy! Pam Bondi sent a letter demanding the FBI did not turn over all the files, her source, an anonymous source!!!! How in the world can it be verified? "Trump Threatens Legal Action Over Writers' Use of 'Anonymous Sources' He Insists Don't 'Even Exist'.. he better start with her

Thatโ€™s what I just posted also. They need to say what they did. US and Russia conduct talks on how Russia is going to overtake Ukraine.

So the US and Russia got together and discussed ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Ukraine wasnโ€™t at this meeting. So pretty much Russia and US got together to plan how Russia is going to take over Ukraine to end the war.

The Enabling Act
At the end of the speech, Hitler formally asked the Reichstag to grant him the power to rule by decree, bypassing the normal legislative process. This was the critical moment that allowed Hitler to solidify his power and begin dismantling democratic institutions in Germany.

"Only if an executive chooses to challenge or ignore restraints on their power is this a step toward the elected dictator model."

Great read: www.liberalcurrents.com/is-it-a-coup/

Democracies usually die in one of two ways: a military coup or an executive self-coup, where a countryโ€™s leader aborts the constitutional order, dissolves the national legislature and/or dismisses other regime elites, and assumes extraordinary (dictatorial) powers. US has no experience with either

"Once again the Germans showed they are a disciplined people, trained to obedience. The change from a country governed at least theoretically by constitution to absolute dictatorship seemed to cause no ripple."

Trump had a total of 653,064 more votes in all 7 swing states combined. The size of Kansas City, Missouri population is 511,000. Elon Musk said he knew Trump won early on by the modules that were predicting outcome. There is no way that they could predict something that close unless they rigged it

These fools are ignorant. The 7 billion Funding is from the EPAโ€™s Solar For All program that will transform lives across America. Projects funded by this programme will help alleviate the burden of high utility bills for lower-income households and create good job

I see Republicans blaming Democrats for all this fraud and wasteful spending but by looking at this graph for the last 30 years it shows that Republicans have had the majority most of the time, so wouldnt it be their fault?

What the hell is going on here. The charts that maga are sharing saying Trump has positive numbers from CBS shows last updated last year. This has to stop. They are manipulating everything!

With 120 pieces of Starlink falling from space In January, is anyone else wondering if that may be a issue with some of these planes crashing?

Trump won the Presidency, not the ability to determine what is a crime and what isnt. He cant just decide that those who committed a crime on Jan 6th just didn't commit one. He can pardon but that crime was still committed. I wish people would get together and file a lawsuit against him

All weekend people were posting on here about the takeover, there were civilians trying to block Musks minions, and then on Monday Congressional leaders show up and act all mad. Well, fuc$ them, they should have been then already!
