No, we have not forgotten it, and we do not want to get into yet another forever war in the Middle East. Enough already. Israel made their decision on their own. Why should we get roped into it when we had no say in them starting it?

We are a third-world dictatorship now, this is how that works.

He is so delusional he actually believes that he should get the credit for all of that. Weird that he believes such a big part of his job is policing other countries, while he isolates the US and pushes us toward a civil war every single day. Whose side is he on?

Marines are not law enforcement, and I was under the impression that they CAN NOT act as law enforcement officers.

Born in 1971. Gen X: the overlooked, underestimated sleeping dragon. Guess what Trump woke?

I don’t know why this isn’t in headlines and an inquiry started. She stated that she intends to use military against democratically elected leaders — that’s a coup. Perpetrated by one of Trump’s cabinet secretaries. Why is no one talking about this?

She has lost her mind. Also, ICE is over budget already. So… who’s paying for this?

He does not understand government or democracy. He understands only power centralized under one person. That’s it. So yeah, he has no idea why people wouldn’t like Putin. In his head, Putin is ideal. That’s what he admires and emulates. Why does this surprise anyone?

What will they have to do to convince you that authoritarianism is already here?

Noem claims to be “liberating” citizens from oppression from their socialist leaders… and she knows so little about CA politics she doesn’t even recognize one of two CA senators?
I feel like it’s possible she doesn’t know shit about CA.

Trump? Petty? You don’t say.
It’s a fricking hallmark characteristic of his, blatantly obvious. How can anyone be surprised?

This seems actually worse than what we had before? Xi has to be thinking that Trump is the dumbest guy on earth.

This is grossly out of line. Not appropriate. Trump does not know how to govern, inspire, or praise. He only gives rally speeches that praise himself and insult his enemies. Really just an absolute piss-poor leader.

Because unless it’s banned they worry they will end up in a gay marriage? Idk maybe just mind your own business and let other people be free to live their own lives without you deciding you get to control what they do. Someone else’s marriage does not hurt you.

I’ve noticed that he hates America.

MAGA and Trump have gotten to where they are exactly for this reason. They have been exploiting social media and free forms of non-stop insults and disinformation, unchecked. While Dems write strongly worded letters and attempt to stop them with lawsuits.

That is because they think they are doing a 24/7 Fox reality show, not governing a country.

That person is directing our national intelligence. This administration is easily the least qualified or competent of any in my lifetime. I mean by orders of magnitude.

Trump called the insurrectionists “hostages” multiple times. His blatant gaslighting is psychopathic, but his obvious love for the gaslighting (he is quite gleeful when he does it) is actual evil.

They went to elementary schools. There aren’t any 2nd grade murderers. They asked hotel staff for their IDs. Because the worst of the worst are people politely checking you in at the Marriott.

Didn’t he say he would not do that in his confirmation hearing? So he lied under oath.

I am aware of that. In the 8 months that would take, we might no longer have a country.

It is illegal, and they need to stop pussy-footing around with lawsuits 4 weeks later that he ignores anyway. Arrest Trump, handcuff him, and put him in jail. He is breaking the law.

It would be great if they arrest Trump. I endorse it. Choose among a myriad of illegal things he is doing and charge him.
