Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Fun fact, it’s fully legal and even moral to deal with DOGE stooges using a baseball bat. Bricks are good too.

Felonious Trump is a wannabe dictator & petty criminal. Illegal payoffs, stealing documents, grift payments. All this pales in comparison with Putin's murdering of political opponents, stealing entire countries, genocide. Felonious Trump is Grover Dill to Putin's Scut Farkus.

Shockingly, it turns out that empowering the richest human being on the planet to maliciously and gratuitously heap additional misery on that planet’s most poor, hungry, and desperate people might—just might—pose a niggling political problem to President Donald Trump.

He got impeached for less extortion than this. Why don’t any republicans have balls? Is that why they hate trans women? They have more balls than every GOP put together? They have better morals, stronger values, and higher character? More bravery in spades? I guess it’s all making sense now.

This judge is a Trump appointee, tho not one of the worst. But I don't get why these cases aren't being litigated on the threshold issue of whether a president has the authority to kill a congressionally established federal agency. Some finally are. Why not this one? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

The other day when trump tried bullying the Maine Governor it was telling when he started to say “I am the law”, caught himself and said we, “we are the law”. This is how he sees himself, as the sole authority. He told us he was going to be a dictator on day one, and here were are.

FOTUS is removing all the barriers to permanently staying in the Oval Office. Agencies that provide oversight, the Military, Treasury, etc. This is how a coup begins, how democracy falls. This is how sheep are led to slaughter. Unfortunately, the slaughter of the opposition is already underway.

Why would Trump and his live in boyfriend need to audit Fort Knox where there is said to be $435 billion in gold. Tax payer money then this? He joked on national TV “would if it’s empty.” Remember he tells you what he is going to do before he does it!
