I’ll never forget the time I went to Augusto Pinochet’s ranch for a barbecue. A lot of people don’t know this, but he was very warm and self-deprecating in person.

DOGE, tariffs, ICE terror squads, boat murders, rising prices, stalled job numbers, unprovoked wars and invasions, threatening NATO, attacking the trans community, dismantling environmental protections, stopping green energy initiatives… All these things ARE, in fact, terrible for the country.

Been thinking about this. Trump’s belligerence towards Muslims & Latinos and his willingness to promote violence has long been obvious. It was other people calling him the peace candidate. Either to justify voting for him or NOT voting for Harris. Either way they all have blood on their hands,

She defended that lie like a rabid porcupine for four years while Trump was indicted for several serious felonies and involved in a lawsuit over a rape allegation which he lost. This woman is nothing more than a lying opportunist who, if anything, thinks MAGA isn’t extreme enough.

“We've seen ICE draw guns on Americans who are not protesters.” Reporters are now implying it’s ok to draw guns on protesters. That’s how normalization works. The regime is successfully criminalizing protest.
