Meanwhile, Denver had the designation of having the worst air quality in the world yesterday because of smoke from massive wildfires in Colorado and neighboring states driven by severe drought caused by climate disruption.

She is responsible for this murder so of course she is lying. What an incredibly awful, despicable, evil person.

The more damage he continues to do, the harder it will be to reverse it. He is all the Jan. 6th thugs bundled into one deranged person. Insane!

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

There is no bottom with this administration. What is most scary about the current situation is there is still a majority of Republicans who aren’t saying a thing! None of this is normal or right.

The National Guard and FBI on DC streets? We are watching the beginnings of a true “police state” taking over our nation.

Yes, could definitely be that too. General photos are usually never enough for keying to species in many genera and I should have left it at Penstemon. A plant in hand or under the scope is the better go to for proper id.

I read a clip from a well-known author that said this Prez causes anxiety about 25 times a day. For me, I’d say at least 50. This man and his alternate universe are exhausting.

Do something! Bill Kristols plainly states all the Senate needs is 4 GOP members to caucus with the Dems and you could stop this madman! They are weak and cowards, but maybe some are at the breaking point!

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.” It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.

Agree with you, but you had a chance to stand up for what is right and you rolled over. That action was cowardly and so you I’ve lost my faith in you as a leader. We need someone who is willing to fight and that is not you anymore.
