On April 11, 2025, Trump said he had taken four cognitive exams. Then, this morning, Trump said he had taken a cognitive test for the “third straight time.” So how many times has he taken this cognitive test, exactly?

Everyone who “partied” on Epstein’s island has gotten away with their crimes —and unless someone leaks the files, it’s very likely that they will continue their predatory behavior.

See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

If Nicolás Maduro stands trial in the United States and gets convicted of 34 felonies, does that mean he’s qualified to be our next president now? Just checking what the standards are these days.

Americans do not want war. Congress needs to reign in this administration. Now. Pray for peace and demand it from our elected officials. The number to call your member of Congress: (202) 224-3121. Don’t allow our government to put troops into another illegal war.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

That is far too many targets for an illegal action. Even one target is too many. It doesn’t make the regime any less murderous, simply because they may not have targeted residential centers. Do your best to be safe. Useless as they may be, my thoughts are with you & your country.

Hello everyone some of you may have heard the news. Yes, Venezuela has been bombed. For the time being, it has been confirmed that only military bases, airports, and government related facilities had been struck. I'm safe for now, scared but safe. Will keep you guys updated as to how things go.

Also remember, the elected leader of Venezuela did not fire a shot at America. He did not declare war on America. He did not target ONE AMERICAN. He did not THREATEN ONE AMERICAN. National emergency? Not one threat was issued by the leader of Venezuela.

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state. In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order. This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

Many deaths are inevitable. Add them to the total of murders that Trump has sanctioned. Illegal orders but the military seems to be cool with that.
