These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Trump being a little late to the party,as this agreement has been in place via NATO for 76 years. Donald has 'announced it', so he can feel like a winner. He's not a winner.

RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline

Last year, Donald Trump and Republicans expanded a tax break that allows the ultra-wealthy to write off as much as 100% of their profit on stock holdings. That one move will cost taxpayers over $17 BILLION. Americans deserve better. I'm pressing for answers.

Presidential assassination attempts that didn’t get close happened in the past too, but you heard about them less because previous presidents all thought strength was shrugging “you can’t phase me, nothing can,” while this president thinks strength is whining “I’m such a victim, soothe my feelings.”

When the Deputy Attorney General suggests sending ICE officers to polling places, it’s not just rhetoric. It’s part of a pattern we’ve seen before, where extreme ideas move from the CPAC stage into government action. This is how those ideas move from provocation to policy.
