#SenatorMurphy gives Homeland Security secretary and dog-exterminator Kristi #Noem an absolute spanking of epic proportions..

ICE - If you feel that you need to hide your face when you are doing 'your job', maybe you should stop doing it. Posters - if you don't want to be accountable for your words, maybe don't say it. Trump and minions - since you really hate government, get the fuck out of ours!

As long as ICE continues snatching people off the streets without warrants, the US government can be considered a state sponsor of terror. It has the moral standing of the Guidance Patrol in the Law Enforcement Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Welcome to the police state, America!

"I don't know anything about that", "I just heard", "I haven't read/seen/heard that." or any variant of "I have no recollection" are NOT VALID RESPONSES from officials or nominees on topics they should be able to address. It's clear evidence of ignorance, lying, or incompetence. Not qualified!

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is a lying liar who lies. All. The. Time. 24/7/365 If he's breathing, he's lying. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump

Members of ICE should understand by now that while they may have started their job as law and order enforcers, they HAVE been reduced to instruments of state-sponsored political terrorism.

We've officially transitioned from the era of tasteless, mindless, fake Reality TV to a government mired in and propagating tasteless, mindless, fake TV Reality. This is NOT a good thing!

We owe Trump supporters the respect that we expect ourselves. Listen to what they say. Take them seriously. Assume they understand what they are supporting. Only then, apply standards of decency, morality, rationality, and humanity. Respectfully, thoughtfully, honestly. See clearly. And resist.

Are you DEPLORABLE? Do your own research! Do you hate without reason? Do you accept the worst lies and deny the most basic truth? Do you deny others' rights while demanding your own? Can you see yourself in Trump or Musk or Hegseth or Miller? Honestly? What does 'deplorable' mean to you?

OLIGARCHY = FASCIST CAPITALIST ARISTOCRACY. Fight it -- for workers' rights, voting rights, civil rights, women's rights: HUMAN RIGHTS. Rise up!

Hegseth is a manifestation of Trump's decision-making, so Trump will not admit his failure by firing. I would guess that continuing revelations of unfitness will convince others to force him to resign, blaming the media for 'unfair coverage' and 'distractions' making it impossible to do the job.

It* IS class warfare! Problem is, the poor haven't realized it yet. *All claims of reduction of government by Trump admin are actually ploys to privatize and profit off working class. Firing people making a reasonable wage to push them into lower wage jobs to work for billionaires.

Bait: hundreds of illegal acts target distinct people, institutions, or policies that 45 years of incessant lies and propaganda from right wing media have demonized. Trap: specific outrage at each individual transgression parried by more demonization and lies diffuses awareness of cumulative harm.

I’ve never seen Pete this angry and rightfully so. Trump and his administration are incompetent and they are putting this country in danger. Unbelievable fuckup.!

Let this sink in.

The Leader of the Free World has abdicated the role -- he drags the nation into the same position of fealty to a foreign autocrat that he has adopted. The old world order has ruptured. It will never be the same, even if it is somehow repaired and heals. The scars persist. Weakness persists. US 😢

Trump’s theatric display in the Oval sure backfired. I don’t think he was anticipating this from the rest of the world…

Can the Democrats recruit Zelenskyy to mentor a US citizen to run for President? Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a courageous person with integrity in a position of leadership in this nation?

The most generous assessment would be that Trump and Vance are selling out US standing in the world for their own personal enrichment because they are stupid. The more likely scenario seems that they are destroying America at the behest of Putin. TREASON either way!

He refused to bend the knee to Putin's Puppet and Couchfucker McGee. SLAVA UKRAINI!🌻💪

KSPotus -- Thanks to Tom Nichols for apt description of Trump and Vance as "Kremlin sock puppets"! www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I think it is now time to nationalize SpaceX for national security reasons.

Real 'waste' is not the occasional inefficiency or poorly considered appropriation but the wholesale capture of public funds in private hands that provide no product or service but only enrich the already wealthy and connected. It's all about the money -- greed and bigotry in harness serving the few
