As we've said many, many times, the cruelty is the point. Trump wants to scare brown people from coming to the U.S. and he is willing to sacrifice the lives of those here now to accomplish this. This is not how Americans treat each other.

SCOTUS is Trump's. The GOP Congress is Trump's. The DOJ and FBI are Trump's. There is only one way for America to survive fascism and that is to protest and grow every protest larger than the last one.

If we Dems don't have the courage to vote our convictions, to be consistent and honest, we're no better than Republicans.

So Fred hated everything about Trump, but thought he might be good at foreign policy, though there is no reason given as to why. All the lies didn't matter, the felony convictions, rape, Epstein, COVID deaths, ignorant statements, etc. MAGAs are so pathetically out of touch.

Cults exist in a bubble that does not allow facts and truth to penetrate. Whatever their leaders says is what they believe.

The media continues normalizing Trump and covering up his mental decline.

Trump is a weak, cowardly man who has spent a lifetime wanting to be seen as a tough guy. So what does America do? Gives him the biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons on the planet to play with.

Our bungling, bumbling low IQ dictator has done it again. What could go wrong with Trump in charge? Everything.

MAGAs can't handle the truth.

What is most unbelievable to me is that after Trump's first term and thirty-something thousand lies and all the lies he told over the next four years and MAGAs still took him at his word. It's a cult.

"We're not at war with Iran," says Trump's zombie minions. I guess nobody told Iran that dropping bombs on their country was meant to be constructive criticism.

You can hear the MAGAs now, can't you? "I didn't know he was going to cut my Social Security. I didn't vote for that." My dear, you did vote for that.

America would still be the most powerful nation on the planet if our Defense budget was half of what it is now. We have the money to do anything, bolster education, universal healthcare, infrastructure.... But it's our priorities that are skewed.

MAGA ticks off every box in the definition of a cult. Disagreements within the cult don't nullify that.

This is exactly what MAGAs signed up for. Get rid of brown people. Return to Jim Crow. Oppress women. The "I didn't know" excuses are starting already and it's pathetic.

From an election standpoint, this should send up bright red flags all across the GOP. But despite some grumbling, Republicans are all in with the disastrous Trump. Why? Because they know upcoming elections will be rigged or called off altogether.

And the doxxing argument doesn't even address the issue of ICE goons not identifying themselves as law enforcement. No one should cooperate with a masked thug who won't show you any official ID.

To Trump, peace through strength means peace through violence. As we've seen over and over throughout history, this approach never brings peace, only more violence.

When you live under fascism, it's the fascists who make the rules, not the people. It's the rules that are wrong, not Harvard.

We can't let these stories get buried by Trump. Our elections were rigged.

This isn't hyperbole. It is a stone cold fact.

What should we expect from someone who only hires sycophants for crucial government positions? There will be more disasters like this, without a doubt.

Well, Trump is stupid and evil. How lucky are we?

Democrats should have shut down congress months ago instead of approving the very people who are running the shit-show from the White House.

We're not a democracy anymore. That ship has sailed. The media won't acknowledge this fact, but the rest of us must. And we must fight to get it back.

There are plenty of beautiful vacation spots in this world that are not under the control of a fascist regime.

For the cost of the Iranian disaster, America could have housed the homeless, fed the hungry, rebuilt infrastructure, provided universal healthcare and more. Instead our tax dollars were blown up in a desert that accomplished nothing.

Vibes. The Washington Institute for International and Public Affairs estimates 940,000 people were killed in Middle East countries by post 9/11 violence. And here we are repeating the same mistakes again.

We must stand up and fight for regime change in America.

I am more than terrified. Our government is being run by Trump cult members who have no qualifications for their jobs, some of them barely out of their teens. if you're not terrified, you're clearly not paying attention.

They want thugs, anyone willing to ignore the law and the constitution to toss brown people out of the country.

Well, Keith, your boss wasted hundreds of millions of dollars bombing sites where the uranium had already been removed. If that puts a spring in your step, you need to seek psychiatric care immediately.

ICE's illegal and unconstitutional actions demand a response. Stop attacking Americans and acting like thugs.

Trump: "Only I can totally screw this up."

Our lives are in the hands of bumbling, fumbling idiots, people whose only qualifications are loyalty to Trump. We need regime change immediately.

Trump is soiling his diaper that gas prices will skyrocket because he screwed up, again.

There are, in fact, some things the media can't fix for Trump, and this is one of them. The "no war" president bombing a country that was no direct threat to the U.S. Even MAGAs can see it.

So Trump spent hundreds of millions of dollars, probably more, bombing an area that had no uranium. A big, beautiful fuck up.

This is North Korea Tokyo Rose Baghdad Bob-level bullshit.

The President of the United States acting like a middle school cafeteria monitor.

Where are the snakes? I was told there would be poisonous snakes. America is not in sane hands.

American's like me never took this seriously in the past, but it's sure as hell relevant now.

We the people are all that's left. We must rise up in the tens of millions and take back our country.

What exactly does this mean? They want to tell racist jokes at work? They want to demean women? What is it they're afraid to say?

Did no one in the Trump administration think about this beforehand? Apparently not.

This continues to happen over and over again in American history because we vote in people who don't have the courage to change it. Maybe we should rethink that.

The most powerful military machine on the face of the earth, led by Moe, Larry, Curly and Shemp. (SOUND UP) #DonaldTrump #WWIII #Iran

brilliant

So, what can we learn from this? THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL IT'S DOING.
