@29Punta @glynnmbattye56 @RonFilipkowski We're in the 2nd year of his term. Job growth for the last two quarters was 0. Oil is going through the roof after he chose to go to war with Iran. He has the lowest public approval rating in history. When do we start winning?

@VinegarMartini @HalfwayPost When you're the president you don't need Kool Aid. You can just declare war somewhere or us the military to attack American cities.

@realDavidAndres @EdKrassen It's not much of a question when the result is his murder. You don't get to kill someone because he interfered with an agent's duties.

@abigailmarone @Kaelan47 What was the purpose of the alteration? Is there a rationale to support it?

Fake news.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@Kaelan47 Not defending. Just wondering why the photo was manipulated to serve your own purpose. Childish, cruelty for its own sake.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@mykward57 @atrupar What law allows killing people for unproved crimes?

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@thee_alfa_house @atrupar The transcript was provided to the White House before the interview was released, in case the administration wanted edits.

Interesting point though. Trump has been claiming that Biden didn't know the people he was pardoning. So is Trump incompetent or lying about Biden?

@ILA_NewsX @C_3C_3 Food is more expensive now than a year ago- so Trump is giving away more food for free?

@FanyaMambo254 @atrupar The verb is "asked". Asked the federal government to take bomb-throwing idiots who already tear-gassed one bunch of kids in Halloween costumes. Make the streets safe for kids on Halloween - keep the guys with guns and tear-gas off the street

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@atrupar Yeah, there's all sorts of crime on the street one Halloween, ghosts, witches - who you gonna call?

"Chicago judge scolds Trump enforcer after kids 'tear-gassed' on way to Halloween party."

@Max_Fender3 @LFRFamily @SolidDeplorable There was a tennis court on the White House grounds. Obama took down the net, and put up basketball hoops. Before you ask for that audit ask for proof that this cost $376M. It's just another lie to excuse what Trump did to the East Wing.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@MontalvoSusyn @LFRFamily None of that is true. There's a security bunker under the East Wing that Trump bulldozed down. When you say "I think" what does that mean? Because your focus on imagining child sex abuse isn't normal.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@LFRFamily More BS. Obama took an outdoor tennis court and turned it into an outdoor basketball court. It required:

1. Taking down the tennis net;

2. Redrawing the lines on the court to those used on a basketball court

3. Putting up 2 bball baskets

@AndrewStagg8 @RonFilipkowski That is of how a rental market works. Rent freezes are put into effect for number of reasons, including during COVID.

@DesireeAmerica4 And we'll never know who they are.

@justsharens @GavinNewsom Defamation requires a false, factual statement about someone. Kimmel was making jokes about an amorphous group of people. It's not defamation.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@RealSteveCoolio @p_glasscock64 @GregAbbott_TX It's not the US government. It's the state Texas government that you say should deny legislators first amendment rights.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@p_glasscock64 @GregAbbott_TX They broke no law. And even if they had, there's no legal basis to remove them.

[Tom Joaquin @TomJoaquin]

@saustin_moco @atrupar He didn't say anything. He just made generalizations he intended to be demeaning. There's not an actual fact there anywhere.
