Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

Walter Cronkite: After liberating execution camps… Germans (who cried) they didn’t know…were as as guilty as Nazis…because they applauded when Hitler shut down (media) and said, ‘We don’t need to know. We trust our government...’ It’s our duty to know.

When Donald knew there was no real threat to his life, he preened for photographers, yelled “Fight, fight, fight!” and didn’t care if a fireman died. When Donald knew there was a real threat to his life, he hid in a catering truck and didn’t care if his staff died in the decoy plane.

Miller stripped legal representation from 24k detained children-some just 3 years old, then handed a $244M contract to an NGO whose founder faced SEX TRAFFICKING accusations. Now toddlers face deportation hearings alone on video screens. Miller is pure evil. #Pinks #OneV1 #ProudBlue

Democrats: You pay taxes. We spend the money on you Republicans: You pay taxes, we spend the money on tax cuts for the wealthy and corporate subsidies This is how wealth is transferred from us to them. The same is true for tariffs. We pay the higher prices, but the corporations get the refunds.
