Q: WTF? Why are police covering their faces these days? A: “Each masked and jackbooted government thug, tattooed like a gangbanger, hidden behind a coward’s mask, is an insult, a desecration of freedom in the US & a growing threat to every American. Fascism is what it signifies.” ~Steve Schmidt

DJTrump’s an out and out gangster! While the White House vending machine cranks out pardons for fraudsters, tax cheats & thugs, he rakes in $$$ from Mid-East despots, Chinese crypto guys & US corporations paying him to leave them alone. Presidential graft at levels that have never before been seen!

Since starting his 2nd term, Trump has moved quickly to obliterate a stable and successful system for funding the nonprofit arts, humanities and sciences. He’s unsettling decades of bipartisan stability in the realm of ideas, culture and science. 😢 www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

Rather than feed millions who are starving & save their lives, Trump is keeping perfectly good food from them & letting it rot. Food that could supply 3.5 million people for a month is decaying in warehouses around the world—and risks becoming unusable—because of U.S. AID cuts. Make it make sense.

While Trump slashes the Dept. of Veteran Affairs, his massive military parade & festivities will cost an estimated $25-$45 million and feature dozens of warplanes, 100s of Army vehicles & 1000s of soldiers from across the USA sleeping in government office buildings. Perfectly reasonable, right?

Trump has nominated Casey Means for U.S. Surgeon General. Ms. Means never finished her surgical residency, does not have an active medical license and hawks dietary supplements & pseudoscientific "treatments" to her 100s of 1,000s of Instagram followers. She’s also an anti-vaxer. She sounds perfect!
