I guess weβre done talking about the MAGA gunman who allegedly assassinated a MN Dem lawmaker and her husband and wounded yet another and his wife, and had dozens more Dems on a hit list. I wonder who could be instilling all of that hate? Well, moving on.

The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."
I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

They didnβt feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
Thatβs a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isnβt just the cost of the tariff

They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first
The moral here isn't to tell the truth
It's to never co-operate with Nazis
You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.
Republicans own every disaster Pete Hegseth causes for eternity. A reckless choice. Someone who is susceptible to blackmail, with a slew of serious allegations against him. What an abomination.
