Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you? Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18 #NoThronesNoCrownsNO_KINGS 👑

The president is operating on outdated information, fantasies, and a lust for power.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

this is odd. Secret Service says they found and dismantled a "hidden telecom network" in NYC consisting of 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards they claim "could have crippled cell towers, jammed 911 calls and flooded networks with chaos at the very moment the city was most vulnerable."

The Oklahoma Schools Superintendent, a religious extremist, is in hot water after having porn on a screen during a meeting. I know 'separation of church and state' was never gonna happen with this guy, but I guess I assumed we'd at least get 'separation of school meetings and Pornhub.'

Welcome to America; where our president is publicly saying nice things about, giving immunity to, and suggesting a possible pardon for a well-connected child sex trafficker. But I’m sure he’s got a good reason.

There are two types of people, those who plant trees for future generations. And those who leave pollution. The latter shouldn't be allowed anywhere near government or power.
