Republicans are radically cruel, crazy, and corrupt.

Democrats MUST NOT be radically feckless and weak.

When a governing party has no heart or head it is imperative "We the People" collectively stop creasing our butts and get off the fence.

Strong and wrong always wins over farts in the wind.

I kept repeating it:

➑️They need ICE to distract us from the E-Files.

➑️They need the E-Files to distract us from ICE.

➑️They need a bad economy to distract us from ICE and the E-Files.

NOW THEY CRY HAVOV AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR TO DISTRACT US FROM ALL OF IT.

2025: Trump said we obliterated Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
2026: he warned of bombing if they didn’t stop their nuclear ambitions. Hmmm obliterated or a threat?

So why is he really bombing Iran, now? Is operation β€œEpic Fury” an attempt to take our minds off the Epstein Files? If so, Epic Fail.

Instead of β€œending war in 24 hours”, Trump has begun one. The anti-Muslim rhetoric in Minnesota was most likely planned for just this purpose.

Our founding fathers not only left out the women, they forgot the power of the women elders.

Most of us don't know that our system of government was modeled after native American democratic principles.
