A Fascist Regime excuse is it's "a security matter", "a national secret", "classified", or some other crap to avoid sharing the crime. And they want to protect you from the Boogey Man, & it's always some group's fault. Gimme a F'in break. Hitler tried this- didn't work & he was smarter than Trump!

Outraged people make the mistake of thinking Trump cares about polls and public opinion. He does not. The Dems were just barking up a tree and wasting time. These people in the WH don't care what any of us think. The longer the government was closed, only got us closer to Trump's CHAOS 2.0.

Where can Trump and the Republican Maniacs take us? It's not a happy place, this I can assure you. A weak nation is easy to manage and that's what they want.

It's a shame most did not push the "5 Alarm Threat To Democracy" during his first term. I felt like the Lone Ranger out on the prairie in 2017 when I was screaming about this freak in the WH. Everyone thought he was just an inept, stumbling liar. There was much, much more intent in those lies.

If you notice, they are not reporting anything. Just another normal day in the USA.

That's funny, but wrong. "State your name" was for the recruit... they actually say, I, [state your name]... Not that Trump didn't have a 75% chance of doing it wrong, but alas, I don't think it happened here.

After Tariffs 1.0 gets blown up by the SCOTUS, Tariffs 2.0 will be invented with an entirely new set of BS rules and sidesteps to the Constitution, and on it will go.

As usual, there is always an excuse, always a hidden truth, always a line of BS to save the Orange Man. He knew it would come to this, and he would use the controversy and chaos to lie his way into Tariffs 2.0.

Enough Is Enough: Why Democrats Saying β€œYes” to Reopening Made Sense Negotiating with MAGA is not Negotiating- it is total chaos perpetuation.

Many people are disappointed that a faction of the Senate Dems voted to end the shutdown. It feels good to get mad and call them names, but there are more real-world considerations to review than just "black and white":

When some moron says that you're wrong and you know he's lying, say "The hell if I am... You are so full of it, your eyes are brown!" That will change the interview.

Ignoring the War Crime and Human Rights implications of this Nazi Regime's efforts... where do they get the money to house, feed, etc. these people? WTF happened to fiscal responsibility?

This entire regime is devoted to trying to stop the browning of America and not lose the White Man majority.
