YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE VICTIMS. They're just political props to you. Because you continue to support the US/Israel bombing Iran indiscriminately with no regard for the civilians they're "liberating." Estimates show that between 1,300-3,000 civilians have already died due to this war; including 160 CHILDREN at the hands of the US. Residents of Tehran are terrified as bombings intensify and as strikes draw closer to their homes. Iranians doubt whether "regime change" is even realistic and whether this war will leave them better off than when it began. US troops are dead. We're killing noncombatants and children; bombing hospitals and schools, heritage sites, and civilian infrastructure. Iranians have no power to mount resistance, but Trump is telling them to "rise up" so HE can avoid having to take responsibility for the chaos that follows while he desperately searches for an offramp because we can't eliminate a nuclear threat that NEVER EXISTED. The Iranian people will march to their deaths because the violent regime has not "changed" and Iranians are far from being "liberated." Yes, the oppressive, theocratic regime remains intact. War is EXPANDING in the middle east and conflicts are being reignited between forces like Israel and Hezbollah. Trump's stated "plans" are vague AT BEST while Iran refuses to "unconditionally surrender" and submit to his empty threats on social media. Instead, the Iranian regime has named Ayatollah's pigheaded son as his successor, who is just as much a hardliner as his father, and who we've managed to radicalize all the more after killing his entire family. He also has deep connections and sway with the IRGC while at least 20% of Iranians support the Islamic Republic. Iran's nuclear/missile program NEVER posed an imminent threat to our country according to all US intelligence on the matter. But if Iran needed a practical reason for upscaling its nuclear missile capabilities, Trump/Netanyahu just gave them one. DNI Tulsi Gabbard Testified BEFORE CONGRESS that "the Intelligence Community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon." And now a top US counterterrorism official JUST RESIGNED, stating that "Iran never posed an imminent threat." In the meantime, global trade is being disrupted, markets are shocked, oil prices are rising and Trump's policies were exploding the debt and deficit BEFORE the war. The US has also squandered expensive resources and the war itself comes with a MASSIVE price tag. We've angered middle east allies and tarnished whatever good will we had left after bombing Iran TWICE during negotiations. Trump Ignored lessons about what happens when we try "regime change" in the middle east and launched us into an illegal foreign war under FALSE PRETENSES, with no support from the American people, and a war that has always been one of CHOICE. Trump NEVER had a plan and the US hasn't accomplished any of its CONSTANTLY shifting "objectives." One minute he's pleading for help from allies that he's been bullying and alienating for the past year, the next he's insulting them while claiming "we don't need em" like a temperamental child. Trump obviously didn't prepare for these eventualities in the Persian Gulf. He dismissed concerns about Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and bombing neighboring countries. Two retaliatory moves that anyone could have predicted, and counter actions he was explicitly warned about! Trump and his cabinet's messaging about the pretext for this war has been inconsistent at best. They're employing Orwellian levels of doublespeak while the US government demands that the media report on the war positively or else risk losing their license. THE F-CK!? Most Americans don't understand why we're at war with Iran in the first place. Trump's only real concern has been rising oil prices and market volatility because he's more worried about his ratings and the interests of his richest backers and investors.

There is legitimate argument that America’s Wars of intervention have consistently made bad situations far worse; From Obama bombing Libya which disintegrated a society that now has Islamic slave trade, to the removal of Secular leaders like Iraq’s Sadaam Hussein and Syria’s Bashar al-Assad, both replaced by Islamic fundamentalists (terrorists), to the costly disastrous war in Afghanistan, time and time again, a repeat of foreign policy (trillion dollar, 100,000’s of deaths) errors. That said, I cannot in my wildest imagination, conjure up a more despicable, truly evil and murderous regime than the Egyptian Mullahs who have hijacked Iran for 47 years of ruthless occupation, rape and murder.

Your propaganda won't change the fact that this Voter ID push is a DECEPTION. Republicans misrepresent support for voter ID and mislead Americans about how they want it implemented. It's NOT an 80/20 issue when voters know this. Voter ID is one of MANY restrictive policies that Republicans are trying desperately to enact so they can suppress the vote. And they're not desperate because they want to "protect" our elections. There is NO evidence of the kind of rampant voter fraud that Republicans falsely insist occurs. There is no evidence that their policies prevent the kind of fraud they claim exists. They're desperate because they know their grip on power is slipping. So they have no other recourse but to make it more challenging to participate in the democratic process. Republicans have frequently attacked or have sought to eliminate election procedures/conveniences like early voting, mail in balloting, polling accessibility and extended polling hours, EXISTING ID laws, automatic/same day voting registration, ballot boxes, ranked choice voting, voting rights, election security measures... WHY!? The "SAVE Act" allows Republicans to pave the way for rolling back voting rights and imposing widespread restraints. Voter ID is just a smokescreen, so it's imperative that they FAIL. When it comes to "protecting election integrity," voter ID is IMMATERIAL. Republicans argue that voter ID policy is backed by bipartisan support, but they'll neglect to mention that they advocate for STRICT requirements. Some Americans support using basic forms of ID to vote due largely to the MYTH of widespread voter fraud, and due to having no knowledge of the EFFECTIVE safeguards, legal deterrents, audit and paper trails already in place, but there is no data showing support for narrower requirements. Support for voter ID shrinks when it isn't being deceptively framed as a deterrent to widespread fraud, which it conclusively IS NOT. When people understand the challenges for voters that these policies create, or how exceedingly rate voter fraud is, support shrinks. When they understand that Voter ID policy FAILS to address a problem that is VASTLY overstated, that even narrow requirements don't prevent fraud; or that Voter ID is being SOLD as a concept with broad support, but is being implemented through far stricter policies than the public realizes, SUPPORT SHRINKS. ID requirements exist in other countries because obtaining IDs in these countries is easier and voting is more accessible. Governments automatically issue IDs to citizens in many countries where ID is required to vote. But Republicans argue against the use of basic ID and automatic ID issuance. So why do they rattle on and on about voter ID requirements, yet push back against policies that would make voter ID a reality? In other countries, lawmakers aim to make voting simpler and more convenient, but in the US, republicans strive to make it more difficult to vote—especially for citizens from cities and urban areas. Aside from the conspiracy theories and lies about "rigged elections" that have persisted since Trump's election LOSS, no substantial evidence has been provided to support voter ID requirements. Why advocate for implementing a policy that solves a NON-ISSUE, or fails to sufficiently solve that issue? Other systemic problems impede free and fair elections too. Issues that Republicans deliberately ignore. Like gerrymandering practices that unfairly benefit the GOP who have broader control over redistricting. Republicans have also failed to address foreign election meddling, the awful Citizens United ruling and campaign finance corruption for OBVIOUS reasons. Their efforts to consolidate power will continue to chip away at the democratic process. If MAGA is truly intent on "protecting election integrity," they should focus on the myriad systemic issues that Trump/Republicans are EXPLOITING, instead of obsessing over BASELESS conspiracy theories from years ago.

Pass the SAVE AMERICA ACT and save America's elections.

REGIME’S NOOSE: Iran Executes Teen Wrestler Despite Global Pleas hannity.com/media-room/reg…

I have NO SYMPATHY for Trump voters who regret their choice because ICE is illegally raiding their job sites. You get what you vote for... nytimes.com/video/us/polit…

Trump could have sat on his tiny bruised hands this past year and the economy would be stronger and more stable for it. The value of the US dollar has WEAKENED against other currencies, goods and services. Trump is not "solving the housing crisis," he's making housing less affordable for first time buyers, renters and families entering the market in favor of serving the interests of the richest homeowners and investors. Even before Trump launched this needless war, his policies were exploding the debt and deficit. This war is costing the US taxpayer $1-2 billion per DAY while the Trump administration is demanding another $200 billion on top of its already massive defense spending budget to continue fueling this war. For perspective, we sent a total of $180 billion to Ukraine during Biden's entire presidency. Trump's actions in the middle east have also caused global trade disruptions, market shocks, and sharply rising oil prices. The Trump admin continues to ignore the effects of persistent inflation, poor jobs figures, and systemic economic inequality. In fact, income inequality just reached the 60-year peak, while reports show that Trump's policies have allowed the top 1% of stock holders and investors to now own more wealth and assets than the bottom 99%. Fourth quarter GDP figures were just revised DOWNWARD. CORE INFLATION was also adjusted to reflect a rise in prices. Under Biden we saw four straight years of job growth, but since Trump has entered office, we've seen 5 months of job losses. The last two GDP reports show that the economy is SLOWING. The Trump admin is ushering in the greatest redistribution of wealth in a generation. Even prior to the SCOTUS ruling, Trump faced pressure to reverse his tariffs because they were raising costs, hurting domestic industries, taxing Americans, causing trade wars, etc.. And analyses reveal that Americans are footing over 90% of the tariff bill. Polls show that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy and believe that his tariff policies are harmful. More Americans think that the economy is going to get worse under Trump. Trump has done nothing to address the immediate issues impacting Americans. Instead, he is fixated on foreign wars while monetizing his presidency to the tune of BILLIONS. His kleptocratic and authoritarian policies are stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump's big ugly Bill extends tax breaks and incentives for the rich and corporations while not remotely offsetting the costs by stripping millions of Americans of their access to healthcare, food assistance, and financial opportunities. He's building grotesque monuments to himself while Americans struggle financially. Trump's policies are ballooning the debt and deficit and his tariffs are a regressive tax on small businesses, low income and working class Americans. The government is obfuscating economic data and lying to investors while straining our economic relationships with other countries. They are distorting facts and eliminating oversight while firing labor directors and qualified civil servants without cause. They are appointing corrupt billionaires, technocrats, corporate interests, and rich MAGA donors into high ranking positions of power. Trump's legislation invests heavily in national security on top of providing extensive tax cuts for corporations and rich people. Costs that are NOT being offset by cutting healthcare, food assistance and scientific research; dismantling our education system, community support structures and social safety nets; cancelling public health and environmental initiatives, and defunding the agencies responsible for protecting consumers and regulating predatory financial institutions. Trump is creating a kleptocracy by concentrating economic power and resources into the hands of a few politically powerful and rich elites while the rest suffer under the economic tyranny of his administration.

I’m willing to bet CNN and The View will find a way to defend this.

The right's constant use of group specific idiolect like "TDS” is just an exercise in projection and hypocrisy. This is because Trump's cult of personality following can be much more accurately described as having "Trump derangement syndrome." Criticisms directed at Trump and his groveling supporters are not "deranged." Their behavior is what's deranged. Like how they blindly devote themselves to a petulant, extremely vain, malignant narcissist who has no sympathy or concern whatsoever for his voters and their welfare. What's really deranged is how Trump's most faithful worship him like he's some kind of God; implicitly trusting and defending his every word or action and twisting themselves into pretzels to safeguard him from criticism and accountability, almost like they actually believe he's incapable of wrongdoing. Yes, it’s both humiliating and deranged when Trump's MAGA flock plaster their property with his slogans and his colors; when they dress themselves up like his mascot, when they brandish their Trump memorabilia or even when they wrap his banners around their necks like capes. It's also quite deranged that they continue to buy and invest into every single one of his grifts or money grabbing schemes, only to collectively lose or waste their money while he monetizes his presidency to the tune of billions and while he ignores their financial concerns as he enriches himself, his family and his wealthy benefactors, often reserving their money for his own legal fees. And It's an especially deranged kind of behavior when his abject supporters are confronted with a nuanced point of view and/or series of facts that threaten their delicate sensibilities and worldview, only for them to instinctively cry "TDS" when any information challenges that fragile worldview or hurts their precious feelings because their entire identity is inextricably linked to this spiteful, pathological, mentally and emotionally stunted egomaniac. Trump's followers have no other recourse but to shout "TDS," "fake news," and other dismissive buzz words that are unique to the MAGA herd at Trump's critics or anyone who dares to question him or hold him responsible for his failures because the alternative would mean acknowledging reality.

'GOVERNED BY TDS': Democrat Senator John Fetterman blasts his own party, claiming it’s now governed by a "virtually impossible" standard of total opposition to President Trump. The Pennsylvania Senator says a "TDS" mindset has made it impossible for Democrats to agree with any good news without being punished by their own party. "Right now our party is governed by the TDS."

🚨 WOW. The Iranian Islamic regime just publicly hanged 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi as part of the crackdown on protests "His execution was a blatant political m*rder." Iranians who rise up are on the right side. Rest in peace 🙏🏻

When they understand that Voter ID policy FAILS to address a problem that is VASTLY overstated, that even narrow requirements don't prevent fraud; or that Voter ID is being SOLD as a concept with broad support, but is being implemented through far stricter policies than the public realizes, SUPPORT SHRINKS. ID requirements exist in other countries because obtaining IDs in these countries is easier and voting is more accessible. Governments automatically issue IDs to citizens in many countries where ID is required to vote. But Republicans argue against the use of basic ID and automatic ID issuance. So why do they rattle on and on about voter ID requirements, yet push back against policies that would make voter ID a reality? In other countries, lawmakers aim to make voting simpler and more convenient, but in the US, republicans strive to make it more difficult to vote—especially for citizens from cities and urban areas. Aside from the conspiracy theories and lies about "rigged elections" that have persisted since Trump's election LOSS, no substantial evidence has been provided to support voter ID requirements. Why advocate for implementing a policy that solves a NON-ISSUE, or fails to sufficiently solve that issue? Other systemic problems impede free and fair elections too. Issues that Republicans deliberately ignore. Like gerrymandering practices that unfairly benefit the GOP who have broader control over redistricting. Republicans have also failed to address foreign election meddling, the awful Citizens United ruling and campaign finance corruption for OBVIOUS reasons. Their efforts to consolidate power will continue to chip away at the democratic process. If MAGA is truly intent on "protecting election integrity," they should focus on the myriad systemic issues that Trump/Republicans are EXPLOITING, instead of obsessing over BASELESS conspiracy theories from years ago.

SEN. SCOTT: "There's nothing racist about this." "Everybody I know has I.D." "Any Democrat that says that women can't figure this out — they're stupid." Sen. Scott criticizes Democrats who oppose the SAVE America Act, which would mandate proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. THE LATEST POLLS ARE IN: And Trump keeps hitting those second term lows! His approval ratings are abysmal all around, don't let the MAGA echochamber tell you otherwise. Most Americans still oppose this needless war with Iran. That much hasn't and will never change. A majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's presidency and his handling of nearly EVERY issue—even the ones he campaigned on. We're talking the economy, immigration, foreign policy, trade, inflation, the works... In fact, It's likely that whatever support Trump has left will continue to decrease as the war drags on. Over half of voters opposed military action against Iran, even more oppose putting boots on the ground, and a vast majority expect the conflict to last longer. Hell, most Americans don't even understand why we're at war with Iran in the first place because it was conducted under false pretenses and the Trump administration continues to put out mixed and inconsistent messaging about the pretext for this war and its plans moving forward. Instead of acknowledging that an overwhelming number of Americans oppose this war and disapprove of Trump's presidency, you try to desperately spin support for Trump from his mindless and uncompromising diehard MAGA base into a narrative that is out of touch with reality. For real, when it comes to Trump's MAGA flock, they'd applaud him if he started throwing his shit at the wall in the middle of a press conference; calling it a "5D chess move" or some such nonsense... The desperation is palpable. Trump supporters are going to great lengths right now to find something, ANYTHING that they can frame as support for Trump. But I don't have to scour the Internet for data that speaks otherwise. But the reality is, MAGA is ALWAYS the outlier in polls that include diverse samples, not just surveys of the lunatic fringe who would never imagine themselves doubting their glorious and infallible leader. Every poll showing an unusual amount of support for Donald Trump and this needless foreign war in the middle east is one that strictly polls his unwavering, fanatical base. Which isn't an indicator of anything other than what we already know—that Trump's cult of personality following worships him and implicitly trusts and defends every single fucking thing he says or does. All recent reliable polls on the matter that don't use partisan framing, that don't use narrow samples, that don't intend to push a narrative, reveal the same sentiment—that a MAJORITY of the American people oppose this war and disapprove of Trump's failure of a presidency. Hell, Trump and his cabinet's messaging has been so inconsistent that they're employing Orwellian levels of doublespeak and most Americans don't even understand why we're at war with Iran in the first place. To make matters worse, the Trump administration is now threatening to revoke the licenses of networks that don't provide a constant positive spin on Trump's war of choice. "Stop calling us fascists!" Well, then stop acting like fascists...

EPIC FURY SUPPORT SURGES: Majority Says Trump’s Iran Operation Is Working: Rasmussen Reports hannity.com/media-room/epi…

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THESE VICTIMS. They're just political props to you. Because you continue to support the US/Israel bombing Iran indiscriminately with no regard for the civilians they're "liberating." Estimates show that between 1,300-3,000 civilians have already died due to this war; including 160 CHILDREN at the hands of the US. Residents of Tehran are terrified as bombings intensify and as strikes draw closer to their homes. Iranians doubt whether "regime change" is even realistic and whether this war will leave them better off than when it began. US troops are dead. We're killing noncombatants and children; bombing hospitals and schools, heritage sites, and civilian infrastructure. Iranians have no power to mount resistance, but Trump is telling them to "rise up" so HE can avoid having to take responsibility for the chaos that follows while he desperately searches for an offramp because we can't eliminate a nuclear threat that NEVER EXISTED. The Iranian people will march to their deaths because the violent regime has not "changed" and Iranians are far from being "liberated." Yes, the oppressive, theocratic regime remains intact. War is EXPANDING in the middle east and conflicts are being reignited between forces like Israel and Hezbollah. Trump's stated "plans" are vague AT BEST while Iran refuses to "unconditionally surrender" and submit to his empty threats on social media. Instead, the Iranian regime has named Ayatollah's pigheaded son as his successor, who is just as much a hardliner as his father, and who we've managed to radicalize all the more after killing his entire family. He also has deep connections and sway with the IRGC while at least 20% of Iranians support the Islamic Republic. Iran's nuclear/missile program NEVER posed an imminent threat to our country according to all US intelligence on the matter. But if Iran needed a practical reason for upscaling its nuclear missile capabilities, Trump/Netanyahu just gave them one. DNI Tulsi Gabbard Testified BEFORE CONGRESS that "the Intelligence Community continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon." And now a top US counterterrorism official JUST RESIGNED, stating that "Iran never posed an imminent threat." In the meantime, global trade is being disrupted, markets are shocked, oil prices are rising and Trump's policies were exploding the debt and deficit BEFORE the war. The US has also squandered expensive resources and the war itself comes with a MASSIVE price tag. We've angered middle east allies and tarnished whatever good will we had left after bombing Iran TWICE during negotiations. Trump Ignored lessons about what happens when we try "regime change" in the middle east and launched us into an illegal foreign war under FALSE PRETENSES, with no support from the American people, and a war that has always been one of CHOICE. Trump NEVER had a plan and the US hasn't accomplished any of its CONSTANTLY shifting "objectives." One minute he's pleading for help from allies that he's been bullying and alienating for the past year, the next he's insulting them while claiming "we don't need em" like a temperamental child. Trump obviously didn't prepare for these eventualities in the Persian Gulf. He dismissed concerns about Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz and bombing neighboring countries. Two retaliatory moves that anyone could have predicted, and counter actions he was explicitly warned about! Trump and his cabinet's messaging about the pretext for this war has been inconsistent at best. They're employing Orwellian levels of doublespeak while the US government demands that the media report on the war positively or else risk losing their license. THE F-CK!? Most Americans don't understand why we're at war with Iran in the first place. Trump's only real concern has been rising oil prices and market volatility because he's more worried about his ratings and the interests of his richest backers and investors.

'BARBARIC MOVE': The Iranian regime carried out the public execution of a 19-year-old wrestler despite U.S. pressure and global pleas against the move. Reports say champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was killed in a public hanging for protesting against the regime, as the Islamic Republic tries to snuff out the ongoing movement seeking to topple it. "His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society, as seen with Navid Afkari and others executed despite international outcry." foxnews.com/sports/mojtaba…

All of this pearlclutching; blaming Democrats for terrorist attacks; showing fake sympathy for TSA employees; demanding that Dems fund DHS, etc, it's all performative. Because Democrats have already signaled their willingness to fund these separate agencies; including TSA. Republicans have shot down these proposals. Republicans don't care about TSA employees. They haven't shown any concern for the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who have been indiscriminately laid off by this administration. No concern either for the TSA employees during the last shutdown when the GOP refused to open the government because Dems demanded affordable healthcare for Americans. These MAGA mouthbreathers are just trying to distract us from Trump's unnecessary war with their typical brand of histrionics and finger pointing: They want to blame these recent domestic attacks on dems when they should be holding their president accountable for getting us embroiled in another needless foreign war in the middle east under FALSE PRETENSES; radicalizing these violent extremists all the more. And let's clear some things up. 1. MAGA doesn't care about the victims of these tragedies, not nearly as much as they care about selling a narrative and vindicating their anti-muslim, anti-immigrant attitudes and grievances. 2. The DHS funding lapse did NOT cause these attacks. Over 90% of DHS employees are still working. ICE, CBP, and immigration enforcement agents can also tap into the massive reserve of national security funds provided by Trump's big ugly bill. TSA precheck remains operational as well. 3. Even IF DHS were non-functional, it's still only one of MANY agencies that handle counterterrorism. The FBI, the CIA, the NSA, NCTC, the DoD, spec ops command, and state and local law enforcement all coordinate together as key players in combatting domestic terrorism. So stop with the fake outrage. Democrats rightly refuse to fund a corrupt department that's incompetent from top to bottom and in desperate need of reforms. Reforms that should be basic for any law enforcement agency. And REMEMBER that last year, Republicans provided Trump with $150 billion in extra funding for his mass deportation agenda and immigration enforcement operations at the expense of the American peoples' access to healthcare, food assistance, and economic opportunities. ICE became the largest funded law enforcement agency in US history—insane! So what do Republicans have to complain about? They got their "national security" funding, Americans got their pockets picked. Aside from this, Dems JUSTIFIABLY refuse to fund a DHS that's lacking in all transparency while failing to uphold the law and shoulder any accountability for its mistakes, oversights, and flagrant injustices. A DHS that the American people overwhelmingly distrust due to its impropriety and corruption. A DHS that is unprecedented in its violent, militaristic and authoritarian approach to immigration enforcement. A DHS that is NOT making our country more "secure," but is occupying our streets, terrorizing our people, suppressing our civil liberties, and escalating violence wherever they go. Even the Trump administration acknowledged this with Kristi Noem's ouster as DHS secretary. And don't even start about FEMA when Republicans have repeatedly voted down FEMA funding while proposing cuts. Hell, Trump has even discussed eliminating or phasing out the agency altogether, saying things like FEMA should "go away." Not to mention how Trump and Republicans have halted or politicized disaster relief and disaster proofing projects, while threatening to withhold/delay contracts and resources to Democrat run areas of the country out of sheer spite. Republicans need only look at their own reflections to see who to blame for the degradation of these federal agencies, and most of all, for making our country a LESS secure and UNSAFE place for Americans to live.

I refused to vote for a shutdown last year and have been the lone Dem against shutting DHS down. This needs to end.

FACT CHECK: Democrats have already signaled their willingness to fund these separate agencies; including TSA. Republicans have shot down these proposals.

FACT CHECK: Republicans PASSED a bill TWICE to pay TSA agents and fund DHS. Nearly every Democrat voted against it both times. The truth is Democrats want us to REOPEN our border in exchange for funding Homeland Security, and it’s NOT going to happen!

PART TWO: To showcase the corruption of the Trump administration even further: Obstruction of justice is a privilege for Donald Trump. His party has helped him repeatedly escape accountability by subverting the court system, establishing blanket immunities for the president, by dismantling oversight and creating a unitary executive beholden to no one. Trump has been obstructing and evading justice all through his political career. He's been abusing his wealth, power and privilege to defy the courts and to avoid the legal consequences of his crimes, his fraudulence and misconduct throughout his entire life. The guy has even been described as a "libel bully" by the courts and has been involved in over 4,000 legal cases. Trump has also issued pardons to his corrupt lackeys and co-conspirators; domestic extremists; drug smugglers; foreign agents; election meddlers and financial frauds; signaling to his supporters and political allies that they can commit crimes with impunity, especially if they donate to his presidency or have knowledge that could implicate him in a scandal or crime. Trump is not a god. He is not beyond reproach. He is, however, the weakest "strongman" in history; incessantly and publicly agonizing over his "persecution" at the hands of some "deep state" enemy while he abuses his status and the power of the federal government to unfairly prosecute his critics and political foes. All said, it seems that the party of "personal responsibility" can't seem to take responsibility for a damn thing. To that point, there's explicit evidence that Tom Homan, Trump's so called "border czar," was caught on audio and video taking a $50,000 bribe in exchange for securing government contracts for undercover agents posing as business men. Trump's DOJ, which no longer acts independently and now operates as his personal legal arm, refused to release the tapes and almost immediately closed the investigation into the scandal as part of a cover up. Trump also fired the federal prosecutor who did not initially bring charges against his nemeses like James Comey and Letitia James for lack of evidence, and then he directed his AG on social media to move immediately on prosecuting his political opponents. Trump then deleted the post in question because it was reportedly meant to be sent as a private message to Pam Bondi. Which begs the question, what other demands is Trump making in private? Trump is brazenly abusing his executive powers to normalize punishing those who have exposed his criminality and corruption in the past. He has indicated his intentions to weaponize every agency and power of the federal government to seek retribution against his critics, his political opponents, anyone who has ever humiliated him or defeated him and for that matter, anyone who has ever attempted to hold him accountable for *his* crimes.

They got him Not DC But the Southern District of FLORIDA Prison time is coming Lock James Comey up

The Trump administration is weaponizing the government and justice department to target and punish Trump's political enemies. Does this sound familiar? That's because Republicans accused Democrats of doing the same, when in reality, they could never tell the difference between "political persecution" and accountability. They also instinctively assume that any effort to hold Donald Trump or one of their own criminally accountable must be politically motivated and backed, organized and funded by some nefarious, left-wing enemy and strawman that's hell bent on undermining Trump's reputation or election chances. Trump and his groveling supporters believe that all investigations into his crimes, his efforts to obstruct justice, or his flagrantly corrupt behavior amount to some kind of "witch hunt." Their cynical rhetoric and their unquestioning defense of Donald Trump suggests that they believe he is incapable of wrongdoing and that he is exempt from the law. In their minds, Trump is the most victimized person on the planet. "Law and order" has been a conservative dog whistle for decades, and we know that Trump and MAGA don't actually support the rule of law because they stand by the following notion: > "For my *friends* everything, for my *enemies* the law." Trump has even admitted as much; claiming he is not beholden to any external moral, ethical or legal standards while posting comments like, "He who saves his country does not violate any law." This is a quote often attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte insinuating that Trump feels he is entitled to operate outside all laws and regulations whenever and however he pleases. This is dictator logic. MAGA's law and order rhetoric is intentionally divisive. Trump and his allies use this type of language to incite violence and hostilities towards minorities, immigrants, marginalized segments of our society and anyone who is subjectively deemed a "left wing agitator." In other words, to them, "law and order" means punishing your enemies. MAGA's obsession with crime and punishment is eerily reminiscent of how fascist movements of the past have also relied on "law and order" dictums to torment and crush their enemies. This obsession is reflected in their support for mobilizing federalized troops and law enforcement to occupy US cities around the country where they are violently cracking down on the opposition and terrorizing the public. It's reflected in this administration's militarization of domestic policy, in Trump's weaponization of ICE and the DOJ, in his assault on democratic norms, in the Republican party's disregard for the basic constitutional rights of the people they're targeting, arresting, and aggressively detaining. It's reflected in Trump's continued attacks on law firms and judges, in his defiance of court orders and his flouting of checks and balances, and in his pursuit of vengeance against his critics in the media, his political enemies and anyone who has ever wronged him. The hypocrisy is baffling. While Trump and his supporters are demanding that he receive a Nobel Prize for his feckless efforts at ending multiple wars (which he hasn't) and "negotiating" an imaginary peace around the world, he is simultaneously waging war against the American people, people he is tasked with protecting. Republicans also conveniently overlook that they were leading bogus, partisan investigations into the so-called "Biden crime family" throughout Biden's presidency, and all while trying to secure blanket immunity for Trump to help him avoid prosecution. He has also directed the DOJ to fire US attorneys and prosecutors who do not toe the line; consolidating prosecutorial power under his administration. Meanwhile, Trump and his family have monetized the presidency to the tune of BILLIONS. No other leader in US history has shamelessly profited off of their presidency to the degree that Trump has—no one has ever been so flagrantly corrupt. (PART ONE)
