CHICAGO (AP) โ€” Storming an apartment complex by helicopter as families slept. Deploying chemical agents near a public school. Handcuffing a Chicago City Council member at a hospital.

Except then we would just end up with even more independently wealthy congressmen.

Trump is a felon, rapist, racist, fraud, and he cheats on both his wives and golf. If he is your hero, you are part of the problem. Trump is a Russian asset. He has insulted our closest global friends. Sound asleep, wearing his frumpy bright blue suit to a black tie wedding for the POPE.

Hello friends, can you help me get an added option on this platform?. Itโ€™s obvious my doing it alone is not getting the message through. If enough of us start posting this edit meme they will act on it!
Thanks โ˜ฎ๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ

Tariffs are intended to further enrich the 1% at the expense of the 99%. When the 99% pay higher prices due to tariffs, they will in fact be paying the taxes that the 1% should be paying but are not.

Everything Republicans have done since 1980 has been to enrich the 1% at the expense of the 99%.

The Worldโ€™s Oldest Toddler Why the โ€œStrongmanโ€ President is Actually Americaโ€™s Biggest Snowflake

"Trump, the self-styled alpha male, is in reality the weakest kind of leader โ€“ a man for whom every slight is a mortal wound, every criticism an unforgivable sin.โ€ He's a snowflake.

Does anyone else think 25% tariffs on Canada feels like punching your best friend in the face?

I hope itโ€™s possible but I have a sneaky suspicion they were all voted out of office. I donโ€™t see anymore Liz Cheneyโ€™s or Adam Kinzingerโ€™s stepping up. I donโ€™t know if there are any more of them.

Just a note, it was the Trump administration that negotiated the USMCA in 2020, called it โ€œa truly fair and reciprocal trade deal that will keep jobs, wealth and growth right here in America.โ€ Now heโ€™s willing to set fire to the US economy like a Jewish space laser hitting California.

They are controlled by republicans so thereโ€™s no chance in hell thatโ€™s going to happen.

All Politics are local.

Its time to take our public discourse public.

No GOP member of Congress deserves a moment of peace while in public. No restaurants, theaters, family outings, no social life. They want to destroy our way of life, not without massive pushback!

Like and repost if you agree!

Thatโ€™s BS. We donโ€™t have a border problem with Canada. We have never had another President unable to work with Canada. This is a crisis manufactured by Trump.

This is Democracy 2025 | The united legal frontline in the fight for our democracy Democracy 2025 is the strategic hub to protect people and their rights should the Trump-Vance administration seek to unlawfully strip away freedoms and prosperity.

Elon Musk, elected to NOTHING, has been given access by TRUMP to EVERY payment detail for EVERY government program- this means YOUR private info. is no longer secure. Includes: SS, WIC, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP.

The acting treasury secretary Scott Bessent has now given Elon musk and his team full access to our entire treasury system. This would include all payments made out by our federal government for Social Security, etc.He now has access to peopleโ€™s private information and financial data!ILLEGAL!!!!!!!

Almost as if the blue states are better at money and business than the red states that believe a man that owes one of these states 500 million is good for the economy somehow.

We're surrounded by idiots y'all.

Russia shoots down innocent airliners, Ukraine feeds innocent people.

Russia uses food as a weapon, Ukraine uses food to nourish.

Another day, another terrible choice for the Trump administration.

Itโ€™s like watching the NFL draft only the eligible receivers have to a) be billionaires, b) be rapists or sex addicts or c) have never played football.

I disagree. Some people have valid issues that we canโ€™t even look at evidence and have a debate without getting shut down. We should be able to respectfully discuss all topics.

It's truly excruciating each time I'm reminded that Matt Gaetz may not get to be Attorney General, not because the entire Republican caucus knowsโ€”KNOWSโ€”that he engaged in the sexual trafficking of a minor & is generally a gross abuser of women & their bodies, but because he failed to be likeable.

If thereโ€™s one project 2025 policy I want to see implemented by the Trump administration, itโ€™s the elimination of Internet porn. Itโ€™s the one thing that would convert MAGA men.
