“fuck you, deported” “what about my lawyer?” “ha ha, fuck you, deported” not enough staff? declare national security threat, take money out of the military budget, who’s gonna stop him “who’s gonna stop him” is, fundamentally, the key to everything Trump says he will do in the second term

These people really don’t get what happens if Trump takes power again.

Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

The IRS reported this week they collected $1 BILLION in taxes owed by rich tax cheats thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act funding that provided them the additional staffing to pursue these cases. First up on the GOP agenda for the next administration is gutting the IRS.

billionaire wealth in the US hit 6 trillion today, an all time high, and that’s double what it was before trump-gop passed their tax bill in 2017 that accelerated the rich getting absurdly insanely richer

Yeah, daily death tolls that matched 9/11 every single day there for a while and the guy who bumblefucked his way through the bloodbath is now trying to get his job back.

I get why this is the case, but it’s so wild that one million Americans died of COVID because of Trump’s handling of the pandemic, and it’s not even remotely an issue in this election. What a country!

I genuinely believe that Biden should pick a few things and act as John Roberts has permitted he can. Then he can resign on January 19, and have Kamala pardon him, to test the absolute nature of pardons Roberts authorized. If Trump wins, Biden's going to jail anyway.

We should do this for everyone. Also, this (from the project's founder): "What is fundamentally different about our approach is the way that we start from a place of trust." -- Compare to the suspicion shown by people who make people jump through hoops to get any benefits at all.

Oklahoma introduced a bill to ban no-fault divorce. The Texas GOP added similar to its 2022/24 platform. U.S. House Speaker and others have spoken out against divorce. "If this sounds outlandish, it’s worth looking at how rhetorical attacks on abortion, birth control, and IVF have become reality."
