A kid from the 50’s/60’s and a lot wiser now. Trying to understand how nearly half of Americans can find favor in the Orange Man. Meanwhile, I’m hopeful that we keep our democracy and survive the next 4 years. I LOVE our Canadian neighbor! Screw Trump! 🇨🇦🍁

Barron Trump was born on March 20, 2006. Melania Trump did not become a naturalized U.S. citizen until four months later, on July 28, 2006. Barron automatically acquired U.S. citizenship at birth because his father, Donald Trump, was a U.S. citizen…

Something to think about… I, an Independent, wonder if the President, SCOTUS & the GOP Congressional members realize just how many Americans detest them & blame them for destroying the Constitution that gave us the greatest country on earth? They probably do, and obviously don’t care. Just saying…

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

President Trump’s calls for an insider trading ban for members of Congress received bipartisan applause, followed by partisan squabbling during the State of the Union. “How about you first!” Rep. Mark Takano yelled. “You’re the most corrupt president!” Rep. Rashida Tlaib also said. bit.ly/479yw3f

Trump was a private citizen when he raped & brutalized children. Trump was not Prez like Andrew was Prince. Exonerated? If he is saying he’s exonerated, he’s admitting to a crime, IMHO. If he murdered, the statute of limitations never runs out.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Is it me or is Todd Blanche NOW talking about the Epstein Files to deflect from the EXECUTION of Pretti, ARREST of journalists, or INVASION of Minnesota… all of which has been happening to deflect from them breaking the law by NOT releasing the files? Circular logic, but am I right in smelling RATS!

What can we do that we haven’t already done to shut down Trump and Miller’s war on American citizens. Can we have a national boycott or shutdown? We need something really BIG to kick them in the balls! I’m so proud of all the cities that had instantaneously put together protests killing Pretti.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
