Biden, Obama, and Clinton were real presidents. They were thoughtful, intelligent, and legislatively hard-working.
Trump, by contrast, is a charlatan and an imposter.
Over time, history will confirm this.

Is there any doubt that this is a police state?

Stephen Miller looks like a cross between Joseph Goebbels and Pee Wee Herman.

I live in Tucson, Arizona. Today it was 104 degrees. I hope it doesn't get too much hotter.
But it will.

Mr. Miller, the right to assembly is enshrined in the constitution.
I just thought you should know.

With this administration, nothing is sacred.
Nothing.

Whatever happened to the concept of "innocent until proven guilty"?

This are representatives of a police state.
Stand up to them.
They are inventing their own rules. They are NOT on the side of the law.

Thieves wear masks. Arsonists wear masks. Seditionists wear masks.

Steve Bannon is an anarchist. He belongs to a political party of one.
He speaks for no one but himself.
Ignore him.

Due process, Stephen Miller. That's all we're asking for.
Is that too difficult a concept for you to comprehend?

This administration is a band of thieves. They are bandits, train-robbers, imposters, and racists.
Somehow, inexplicably, we voted for this.

True.
Clinton, Obama, and Biden rescued the economy from the ashes. At the end, they left it stronger. Clinton actually balanced the budget.
Trump, meanwhile, is f***ing up everything.
Again.

We had two chances to elect a woman to lead this country as the following countries have done:
1) Mexico;
2) United Kingdom;
3) Germany;
4) Italy;
5) New Zealand;
6) Finland; and
7) many others.
We blew it both times.

Donald Trump represents everything that I abhor:
Arrogance, narcissism, racial animus, white grievance, vanity, ignorance, and an unbridled lust for power.
I see nothing in him that is redeemable.

The poor will bear the brunt of this fiscal insanity.
And the rich will laugh all the way to the bank.

I'm glad García is back in the US. He never should have been deported in the first place.
Now the Trump administration will do everything they can to convict him of something.

I'm reminded of President Biden's parting words from the Oval Office:
Beware of an oligarchy. It is on our doorstep.

Yes. It's a cat fight.
The claws are out. The fur is flying.
Enjoy.

Yes. Russ Vought lies. He is a charlatan, a card shark.
It's time people realize that.

"Donald. Do you see my feet?"
"Yes, Vladimir."
"Ok, then. Kiss them."
"Gee. Do I have to?"
"Donald. We've had this discussion before. Now do it"
"Yes, sir. But please don't tell anyone."

Something tells me that if Trump tries to take Musk down, Elon will make sure that Trump goes down with him.
Sit back and enjoy.
We live in interesting times.

Something tells me that the Epstein Files are the social media equivalent of a nuclear bomb.
We could have a political Hiroshima within days. And Trump would be at the center of the explosion.
Stay tuned.

I'll trade you an Elon deportation for a JD Vance exile and a 1st round draft choice.

Oh no. Now Elon has unfollowed Stephen Miller.
This is getting serious.

I have this feeling that Elon knows something that you and I don't know.

We're looking at 1) rising unemployment, 2) rising inflation, and 3) lower GDP.
Those of you who voted for Trump: Is this what you wanted?

Elon has all the cards.

I don't care if he's a US Marshall.
Deport him.

Look at this picture of Marco Rubio.
This is a man who has sold his soul.
