Breaking News: Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil’s former president, was charged with overseeing a vast scheme to overturn the 2022 election he lost.

Trump logic. US Federal workers = Enemies Putin and Russia = Friends Fired 1000's of US Government employees. Fly halfway around the world to visit with Putin and claim to end war that isn't over.

Trump, Vance and Musk are priming supporters to totally reject the US Constitution. Their goal is a dictatorship headed by Trump. This is the reality we are facing.

The GOP only accepts the election results when they win. The GOP only accepts court rulings if in their favor. The GOP only protects speech they agree with. The GOP is a cancer to our democratic Republic.
