Look it up for yourself.
Do I need to do everything?
Damn, some of you sound came from X(Twitter) and want to make this place as bad as that place.
If you need it proven, then just prove to yourself.

Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control.
This is about total control.

What is wrong with training ourselves to protect one another and our communities from maga?

We will be a stronger nation soon. We can’t wait. We must build the nation the founding fathers wanted us to have, not the one we have now that takes nearly all our money for themselves and their cronies!

This needs to be challenged in court.
Their lawyers say that since the people are here illegally, by law anyone giving them housing or employing them can be charged with a crime, then they can enter any house. The 4th Amendment protects the Americans, not illegals so they say

Congress has gone out of their minds. They refuse to rein in Trump and his expansion of executive powers.

Trump has expanded presidential power in his second term (starting Jan 2025) by aggressively applying a "unitary executive theory.
How about standing up against this illegal grab on power

Thank you foe educating me on the things that I didn’t know. I’m not an expert on foreign affairs at all.
I just remember reading how Obama and the U.S. played a major rolling in the interference of the Ukrainian elections.
I read it on the Cato institute website.

I’m not here to fight but to learn all our view points and if I’m wrong then I’m wrong and I’ll learn from it but it isn’t wrong to have opposing perspectives correct?

I moved to Laos for the winter but still have my house in Massachusetts that I will never get rid of. The wife and I are now both retired and want to enjoy the years we have left.
I respect your views and I’m not here to fight but to learn.

I am an independent voter because neither party is good for America and this shitshow in Ukraine proves it.
Let Ukraine get their cash and weapons from the EU and yes, I know a lot of our history. I majored in history in college.

And I believe they are now working on Cuba. Leave them alone as they pose no threat to us. They should life most of the sanctions that we have in place against Cuba.

I’m not here to pick a fight. I just think we need to help others when we can but right now our country is bankrupt from Republicans and Democrats giving away our money to countries that can get help from the EU or other forms of financial support. I respect your views.

I was a 12-B in the Army aka Combat Engineer and went to many schools to advance on rank. I even went to a combat engineer course.
My job when we deployed to Iraq was to clear roads of IED’s by disarming them or blowing them up in place.

Buy a gun, go to a gun range and ask to be trained on it. Once trained on it, take any tactical training that you can and then train others. MAGA are right with guns and so should we. We need to get trained up.
I spent 23 years in the Army and I’m willing to help our people train what I know

Aren’t many? According to what I hear, that if you were dumb enough to vote for that orange man child then you are maga and that means there are about 77 million of them. I don’t know about you but that isn’t small.

It is President Clinton’s fault that ICE can deport an illegal without judicial review or approval

Firing on officers is a felony with up to 3 years in prison considering the circumstances.
Shooting them will do nothing but prove to them that we hate law and order when it is the opposite. Don’t let the right wing this fight. We are the party of laws, not them!

It’s the fucking Judges who are allowing ICE to violate the 4th amendment.

My son says that they have been doing judicial searches since last summer and he said that Clinton signed a law that lets ICA deport people without judicial review. I’m gonna do research on this and get back to everyone.

Where is the proof of your statement. Post it so we can share it and defend it against the Right who always asks for of things we need to back up our statements to show the Right that we do our research when we speak on a subject. You know how they love to try to make us look dumb.

He has to realize that he will never be president.
