The keeps happening, it is leading me more and more to believe that Trump actually believes the videos that Shadow-President Miller is showing him is what is actually happening

They know this. These aren't inadvertent mistakes. They just don't care even a little about truth - they will say whatever they think they need to say in order to achieve their ends. Completely amoral.

A bit of advice...If you don't see it in person, don't believe it. If it's coming from the Trump Administration, there is a 101% chance it's a lie. See what I did with numbers....

I imagine this ridiculous video is what Trump is basing his decisions on. His people feed him with the manufactured shit he wants to see in order to ‘legitimately’ carry out his agenda of a what, I guess a police state?

The civil war is not coming, it's happening right now. ICE agents are Trump's SAs. Miller is the Heritage foundation's Goebbels. It's up to the 99% to thwart the 1%'s attempt at destroying American democracy March, protest, boycott!

We must remember Republicans put out this type of thing for their gullible base, only. Their opposition won't believe their "stories": Dems & smart people will fact check it and prove it wrong.

Trying to remember when outright lying became standard or even acceptable. We might be done if we let this stand. I am 82 and my parents taught me and I taught mine that lying is unforgivable. What happened?

Honestly, if Dems in Congress just get on every platform possible and expose the game that Maga is playing, such as using bogus pictures as 1 example, people will understand that and Dems will not have to debunk every web of lies. Just expose the game. People will get it.

trump did the same thing in the oval office with the President of S. Africa. Showing photos of violence from a totally unrelated event yet claiming they were recent & happened in S. Africa

Ok and who's surprised - EXACTLY NO ONE. Facts don't matter. He sees clips of Portland on Fox News from a few years back and he thinks it is happening now. He is delusional & demented. And he needs to stop watching videos and Fox News. Take grampa's remote AWAY STAT.

That the courts take his demented rantings as gospel is the part that is infuriating. But then we know SCOTUS doesn't care what he does, they gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wants as a part of his duties. Who cares if it has NOTHING TO DO WITH ACTUAL REALITY, IN REAL TIME. DETAILS.

Trump has lost a LOT in the lower courts. It's the Supreme Court that is letting the whole country down. It's the conservative losers on the court that pretty much gave him immunity from prosecution.

The issue is that despite his losses he still continues to do what he wants. The way ICE treats people is a good example. In Chicago they're not supposed to be using flash bangs, tear gas, aggressive tactics, yet they still do and all of the judges reprimand the govt but there are no consequences.

Why does this not surprise me. They are the most dishonest group of jackasses I've ever seen. It's pathetic to see grown ass men behave in such a way. Every damn one of them... pathetic little men. Or should I say boys. It's embarrassing.

Californians who want to help stop Trump's power grab received your ballot. Join me to Vote YES and return your ballot ASAP before November 4. In order not to forget, how about VOTE and MAIL it TODAY. Let's fight back and defend democracy!

Excellent. Keep exposing them. I would also like an organization to expose who is paying the podcasters and websites to spread Russian or foreign propaganda. Last year, several podcasters & influencers were named for accepting $100,000 from Russian related sources to push propaganda to young men.

As Governor Pritzker repeatedly stated there was no outbreak of crime in Chicago. This is the felons method for deploying troops against US citizens on US soil. The lack of checks and balances has caused him to escalate his attacks even as he descends into madness.

Trump and his administration have circulated photos and videos in the past that have nothing to do with the subject they are referring to. They have no problem subverting the truth and creating false scenarios to reinforce their actions. The truth has no place in the Trump administration.

do they think this is the 1900's, and people DON'T have phones, TV's or ways to look up the truth?! Im surprised they don't post this ridiculous sh*t in theaters before movies and bring back 'Movietone news'
