Yesterday, JD Vance, a Yale Law grad, couldn't define what "socialism" means. Instead of defining it, Vance talked about boys in girls sports. This admin has devalued its words, and would be admitting to supporting the same policies they attack others for if they told the truth. Link below ⬇️

From what I've gathered, a small part of a roof section fell in, due to a leak - only because Tee's sycophants on the K. Center Board stopped the repairs that had been ongoing (and maybe he/they pocketed the renovation money -?).

🚨 An alarming breakdown of Pete Hegseth's rhetoric, which frames the military as moral crusaders superior to 99% of Americans while labeling media and intellectuals as traitors. The goal? A military isolated from society, recruited strictly from conservative colleges.

Hegseth’s One Percent
A cult of military superiority over civilians is not only unwarranted, but actively dangerous.

The SCOTUS Six bears heavy responsibility for Tee's rampant crime spree; he's simply not afraid of consequences because they gave him immunity. Too, D0g3 stole access to the govt payment system so he doesn't need to go to Congress for $; he simply takes it. Again, not even close to legal.

But it's not his property; it's public property, though I fully expect he will seize it, 'develop' it, and profit from it as if it were his own property. Massive theft and desecration in one blow.

But the regime isn't shutting down right-wing media outlets that have been spewing propaganda and lies for decades - chief among them F0x, which prez R. Reagan allowed to set up shop, after abandoning the Fairness Doctrine, that required all views to be represented.

We keep trying. They mega-gerrymander, throw people off voter rolls, close voting locations, and most recently TX DPS didn't process tens of thousands of new voter registrations (if not more). Plus taking control of blue and going-blue counties and school districts.
