⛔️ Let’s not forget that Trump admitted publicly that he is a Jew. It is not a conspiracy theory. He openly tongue-slipped last year by admitting it in public that he's not a Christian, confirmed by his Levin as the first Jewish POTUS.

Government has one essential function: serve the American people.

Keep Americans safe. Provide services for the common good, including infrastructure, food and medicine safety, social security, Medicare, and national security.

Maintain order and the Rule of Law. Protect individual liberties. Ensure the rights of all citizens to make their voices heard, through voting and participating in the political process.

Neither the Trump administration, nor Congress has done a damn thing to serve the American people since January 2025. We are less safe in every possible way.

Remember that in November. 🇺🇸

I used to wonder how it was possible that Trump could have won in 2016, and then again in 2024, given how emotionally toxic and depraved he is.
I don’t wonder anymore. I think he won for that exact reason. Because he carried at least one broken shard to reflect the broken shards in millions of others.
If you’re a racist, you found your guy. If you’re a misogynist, you found your guy. If money is your only religion, you found your guy. If your heart is armored shut, you found your guy. If you mock the disabled, you found your guy. If intelligence makes you insecure, you found your guy. If you’re a sexual predator, you found your guy. If you trade in humiliation and conspiracy and filth, you found your guy.
If you’ve never done a single hour of emotional inventory, you found your guy. If you cheat, stiff contractors, bankrupt your obligations, and call it savvy, you found your guy. If you lie as easily as you breathe, you found your guy. If cruelty feels like strength, you found your guy. If white grievance is your comfort food, you found your guy. If your ego is a black hole no title can fill, you found your guy. If warmongering fuels your ego, you found your guy, If empathy feels like weakness and dominance feels like oxygen, you found your guy.
If he’d only carried one or two of these pathologies, he might have been dismissed as just another loud, damaged man. But he carried a buffet of them. That was the appeal. Millions could locate themselves somewhere in the wreckage. They didn’t have to agree with all of it. They just had to recognize a piece of themselves in it.
It was never really about him. It was about the validation. The absolution. The permission. He didn’t invent the resentment; he amplified it. He didn’t create the cruelty; he normalized it. He gave millions the intoxicating relief of hearing their ugliest impulses echoed back at rally volume.
Trump is a symptom. The deeper illness is collective. If there’s one sentence that defines his power, it’s this: “He says the things I’m thinking.”
And that’s the part that should chill us.
Because what does it say about us that so many were thinking those things? That tens of millions of Americans harbored resentments so deep, so seething, that they were simply waiting for a demagogue to baptize them as virtue? That after decades of supposed progress on race, gender, and equality, so many white men felt so threatened, so displaced, so furious, that cruelty became a political platform?
Maybe we were living in a fool’s paradise, mistaking silence for healing, politeness for progress.
Now the mask is off. Now we know.
And knowing is a far more dangerous place to stand.

Tillis unleashes on Noem and Miller -

“I think if Noem looks at her body of work… I can't think of any point of pride over the last yr”

“She has taken this admin into the ground on an issue that we should own”

“Miller never fails to live to my expectations of incompetence”

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.

This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

@RightScopee Why did the national debt increase by 2,000,000,000,000 in 2025? Republicans control presidency, senate, and house of representatives.
