Trump is helping Russia who is helping Iran attack and kill Americans. So that means Trump is knowingly taking steps to weaken the US and bolster Russia and its close ally, Iran. Does that make him a traitor? Let's have the debate.... www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Destroy everything. The problem is what comes next? Evangelical nationals, Leonard Leo Catholic Integralists and the Tech bro Nerd Reich all agree and work together on destruction. But they violently disagree w each other re who ends up on top, who rules, and what to build in the aftermath.

I know everyone’s jaded and exhausted by the continual parade of madness, but this is the president of US openly inciting racist violence against an entire community of immigrants. (w/ alt text)
The once Great State of Minnesota is being taken over by Somali Immigrants. There is Violence, Murder, and Mayhem all over the State. The people of Minnesota must fight back. You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing.
They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help — and leave the rest to us! President DONALD J. TRUMP
