“The American military is tremendous. It is the greatest in the world.”

I applaud the members of our military and we have very expensive technology.

But organizations are only as good as their leaders, and we have some dumb people running our military. It shows.

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

The fact that Donald Trump is going to try to subvert the 2026 elections doesn't mean he will be successful. We have shown before that we can fight back in court and win. The key is that we must educate everyone about what is going to happen and what they can do as well to defend democracy.

Totally normal that the #2 person at the DOJ civil rights division is asking me about a trial court denying our motion to intervene in a case DOJ is going to lose on the merits.

He clearly does not want you to stay informed by subscribing to Democracy Docket. Here is the link: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the “SAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to “save America”.

It’s all so unnecessary. Believe it or not, Lebanon was the economic engine of the Middle East 😢.

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥
