Oh

[BasedBoz @Based_Boz]

@officerbill @theprofsrecord Your point? We didn't have a wannabe mafia boss as president, trying to strong arm everyone into doing what he wants then, did we?

[BasedBoz @Based_Boz]

@atrupar Oh ok, so we can follow the constitution only when it suits us then @RonJohnsonWI, and just totally ignore it otherwise? Fucking clown.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

FYI trumps executive order is illegal and the GOP congressmen who know it are spineless and won’t say a word. Despite spending years complaining about Obamas executive orders

[Country First @thecountryfirst]

While Americans stretch every dollar at the pump, Trump interrupted a discussion on gas prices to talk about his own statue. Real leaders work for the people. They don't hijack the moment for themselves.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

It’s the constitution. Should it be? Debatable…. But it clearly is. Repeal that part through the process if you want to change it

[BasedBoz @Based_Boz]

@kylegriffin1 @PamBondi - hope you're prepared for the giant bus he's about to throw you under. You deserve every fucking bit of it.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Trump: When someone's nice to me, I love that person. Even if they're bad people. I couldn't care less. I’ll fight to the end for them

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

This is, quite possibly, the most tortured, wordy, and completely batshit crazy attempt to try and convince people that the President of the United States has the authority to tell states how to administer elections - when he does not.

Or that the fucking POST OFFICE can decide who they actually mail a ballot to, or deliver a ballot from, in an election.

Neither of the elements you cited give the president no the post office the authority to suppress who can vote.

This will be challenged in court, and it will get thrown out quickly.

[Sarah Fields @SarahisCensored]

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that there is a man named Henry Walter Wooten, from Smith County, Texas, who is serving 35 YEARS IN PRISON for marijuana possession.

Carry on.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Trump just cut a midterm ad for every Democrat in America.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

huh. Good point Marco OH WAIT THIS IS OLD MARCO WHO HAD A SPINE

[Home of the Brave @OfTheBraveUSA]

Trump last year: "I'm not going to touch Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid."

Trump today: "It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare."

[BasedBoz @Based_Boz]

@ProjectLincoln Keep up the good work 💪

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

[Rep. Joe Neguse @RepJoeNeguse]

BREAKING: New reporting today indicates that Attorney General Bondi may be fired in the coming weeks.

A reminder below of the many reasons why she should be.

[JΛKΣ @USMCLiberal]

This motherfucker and his whole shithole family just voted by mail.

Now he’s like, no more voting by mail.

Honestly — have you ever seen a more brazenly fraudulent piece of shit???

[BasedBoz @Based_Boz]

@Acyn lmao, and the level of delusion (somehow) becomes even more absurd.
