Yeah, when you treat a Presidential election like a smash and grab, and declare “crime is legal now!” Most decent people will expect consequences. How very astute of them.

the response should be immediate contempt proceedings all the way up the chain of command to the ICE/ERO directors including escalating fines and orders to personally appear in court. if that doesn't do the trick, criminal contempt, throw them in jail. play stupid games, win stupid prizes

For me It’s the Razor scooter. I was already in my early 20’s when this thing came out, but holy shit - they were everywhere. $40, with a break, and adults could ride them? What? We had the BMX scooter, but the foldability/portability/price of this thing - it was revolutionary.

She was being blackmailed over explicit photos. She went to police and gave them the photos as evidence. The cop kept the pictures on his phone, showed them to others, and didn’t catch the blackmailer- who ended up killing her. Just enraging. I wonder why victims of sex crimes don’t report 🤔🤬😢

Not helping is how much fascism is being enabled. Given the way El-Sayed and Nixon are getting treated, libs are proving (as usual) to be more afraid of socialists than fascists. If not for Schumer and Jeffries we'd be seeing a blue tsunami instead of just a wave.

Trump hasn't dropped in popularity cuz millions of Americans went "Wait a minute... you're a FASCIST!!!" and recoiled in disgust. It's cuz he doesn't make them feel good, anymore. And that was the whole point. They feel poorer, ignored, and bamboozled. The shitlibs were right. That's embarrassing.
