Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.

There is nothing in his tax cuts that will make up for the dramatic increases in costs - of food, gas, healthcare, housing & more - for the middle class and low-income families. If this is all they’ve got they’re in deep shit. And we’re so here for it.

Today, don't talk about politics with your family, enjoy each others company and time together. Eat a lot, laugh a lot, and make a lot of good memories together. Enjoy the good times so you can withstand the bad times. Stay blessed, America.

Intermediate plan: 1) Win the House and the Senate in 2026. 2)In 2027, Impeach and remove Trump and Vance. 3) Speaker Jeffries becomes the US president. 4) Unduo all the damage the MAGAs have created and pass laws to prevent facism in the future. Restore democracy and take care of the People!

Just got this comment on one of my video's - "Protests were fake, they were all paid actors earning $100 a day and $10 travel". I'm sorry you're saying 5.2 million people were paid $110 each? $572 Billion? By who exactly? And with what money? $36 trillion in debt and you think this was bankrolled?

Oh, please! The US is paying that El Salvador jail MILLIONS of dollars to house those falsely accused prisoners. Of course, that concentration camp would gladly return one prisoner to keep that cash flowing.

Holy shit! "The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly deported him to El Salvador, but said that U.S. courts lack jurisdiction to order his return from the megaprison where he’s now locked up."
