Sen. Alex Padilla just got forcibly removed from Kristi Noem’s presser—for daring to ask real questions? Outrageous. This is what GOP “freedom” looks like: silencing truth. Padilla showed guts. Noem showed cowardice. I'm pissed? Are you?

You can lead a Trump to culture but you can't make him think.

The Onion can write the most absurd article, only for it to end up being a prediction instead of just satire.

ICE showed up with no warrant and tore her family apart. She was 14. They lost everything. Now she’s speaking out so others don’t have to face the same pain. Know your rights. Carry a red card. Share this

It's a good thing until the wrong people get it. After 9/11, we started handing over our civil rights on a silver platter. Family used to be able to wait with a loved one at the gate and wave goodbye as the plane took off. They could wait at the arrival gate to greet them upon return.

Would I not be charged if I left a handgun where a minor would find it and fire off a round? Or is it okay in Texas?

I believe each of the last three elections were touted as the most important election in history. It may have sounded like the boy who cried wolf to apathetic, occasional voters. That may be why so many stayed home. Sadly, the 2024 election was the most important to date.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

Sounds good to me. Assuming we still have midterms.

I've been thinking. If the governor's consent is needed to deploy the National Guard, can't he order them to stand down?

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!.....

Do Your Fuckin Job💥😡

I got some metal ice cubes for that very reason. I don't know what's in them, if anything, but I'm not using actual ice.

A friend sent.

A man came home from work on Halloween and after dinner gave his wife a pair of crotchless underwear. Surprised, she looked at him and he said, “Don’t worry, it’s not about sex. it’s to give you a better grip on the broom.” He’s now sleeping in the sunporch.

Yay Chehalis tribe!!! medium.com/@lewiscounty...

As an Atlanta Braves fan, I don't have much to talk about, because they're fucking awful right now.

There are no well regulated militias for the purpose of maintaining the security of a free state. Any so-called militias that exist will not step up to defend against tyranny. They would stand side by side with the tyrant.

Typical Trump MO: create problem, come up with solution, make problem worse.

Shall we change the name from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to Centers for Disease Continuation and Proliferation?

Remember the Civil War was USA vs USA. It was USA vs CSA, a war between two separate countries. Flying the confederate flag in n the USA is no different than flying the nazi flag in Germany.

I'll vote for a garden slug if it's running against Lindsey.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

I've tried to find proof that MTG said she would never shop at Harvard, but it must have been false, like Sarah Palin didn't say she could see Russia from her house.

I agree. I don't support abortion, but I am pro-choice. Simply because my right to decide for someone else, whether or not to have an abortion, does not exist. It's none of my business. I will discuss the options with my family members and support their decisions, no matter what I would prefer.

Trump tries to use tariffs to offset trade deficits. What about blue states that receive less in federal funds than they pay in? CA's deficit is $80 bn. Illinois' is $8 bn. How should they and other donor states offset their deficits? Those figures, I believe, are from 2022.

Trump blamed Pelosi for the lack of National Guard troops on J6 when she had no authority. Now he deploys troops in LA over the objections of Gov Newsom who has the authority. Proof that he had no intention of protecting Congress on J6. No troops for violence vs troops for peaceful protests.

Following orders is only cover to justify their participation. We know the difference between right and wrong and so do they. How can one ignore one's conscience and follow an unlawful order?

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

We've always thought Trump would cross a line, at which point, Republicans would step in, but we haven't seen it. Now, I wonder if there is a line our military leaders won't cross. We know ICE doesn't have one. Do our Generals have one? I guess we'll find out eventually. I hope so.
