Replying to @ChuckGrassley
@ChuckGrassley - How can you allow the criminal president of the United States to abandon Ukraine weaken NATO, and put our entire diplomatic relationship on the line for a few sense of diesel fuel? You’re an embarrassment, senator.

But, erect a plaque at the base of the MLK Jr. monument, on the ground that details the attempts to destroy our democratic republic, so we never forget how fragile this government can be. Or maybe put them on the risers to the Capitol steps. ☮️😎💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

DO YOU STAND WITH JOJO? Joanne Carducci, who you know on Twitter as as JoJo From Jerz, told a podcast this week that a Trump Lawyer sent her a letter threatening that she would lose her home, be bankrupted unless she retracted some of her posts. Although the letter was sent months ago this is the first time JoJo has made it public. Your Thoughts?

BREAKING: HELL YEAH! Trump gets NIGHTMARE news about his absurd "Triumphal Arch" as the Arlington County government unleashes a massive lawsuit to block its construction. And it gets even better... In their suit, the county's board asserts that the White House ignored a crucial review process in their deranged, rushed efforts to begin working on the President's vanity project. Since the proper process was not followed, construction should not be allowed to proceed. Specifically, the administration failed to properly evaluate the possible environmental impacts of the arch and such analysis is required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Arlington is accusing the MAGA-controlled National Park Service of performing nothing but a "cursory" and "truncated" review of the project. It should come as little surprise that this regime, as adversarial towards the environment as it is, would try to circumvent this key step. Unfortunately for them, the law is the law. The arch — one of several construction projects that Trump is desperately scrambling to erect in the hopes that he might fashion a semblance of a legacy for himself amidst the ashes of his failed presidency — is supposed to go up on an island in the Potomac River that is officially part of D.C., but sits just a few hundred meters from Arlington. The suit urges the court to block any demolition or construction until an “appropriate environmental review” is conducted. Hopefully, the judge sees the light of reason and grants Arlington this injunction. Once Democrats retake Congress in November, we'll have more power to throw up lasting roadblocks to this idiotic waste of tax dollars. Pop quiz: What "triumph" is Trump even hoping to commemorate? The Iran War is a historic, economy-crashing failure and his domestic policies have been just as bad. This man does not have a single real victory to his name and yet he wants to be remembered like Napoleon. Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it. Please ❤️ and share if you support this lawsuit!

The sitting president of the United States just stood before a “crowd” of his supporters & suggested Iran “take out” two American cities, adding that it would be a “small price to pay”, and somehow that’s not the lead story on every newscast this morning. Not even in the top 5.

USAID helped not only children and families around the world, but our farmers here at home too. The gutting of that program and the disposal of all that food which would've went to help people worldwide, is just another black stain on a regime full of them! #DemsUnited

Dr. Fauci is an American hero that saved countless lives even when the President called it a hoax and a lie. Do you support Dr. Fauci and everything he has done for America. Yes or No? 👍👎

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!" This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared... "A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr. Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames. "A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. "An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar. "A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term." "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more." This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein. "There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from." "Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests." Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging. Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders. Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!

BREAKING: WE COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Mitt Romney says that he won't run in 2028 because 80-year-olds "shouldn’t be running the world" anymore. This one is sure to get under Trump's thin, wrinkled, bandaged skin... “I basically think people who are 80 and above really should not be running the world or running the country,” Romney told Deseret News. He brought up the book "The Body" by journalist Bill Bryson because it "points out that the human brain shrinks by 20% by the time you’re 80 years of age." Americans in their eighties are valuable, contributing members of our society and they should be provided with free, state-of-the-art healthcare and treated with respect. But they should not be in control of the nuclear codes. One need look no further than Donald Trump to see the risks inherent to gerontocracy. The man is clearly suffering from profound cognitive decline. He is constantly confused, misspeaks every time that he opens his mouth, and is growing more erratic by the day. A man who has no control over his mental faculties (and possibly even his own bowels) should not have the power to start wars and drop bombs. Or look at Mitch McConnell. He's 84 and right now his constituents don't know if he's alive, in a coma, braindead, or actually dead. He should have retired from public life decades ago, but these aging politicians get addicted to power and cling to their jobs long after they've lost the ability to perform their duties. Enough is enough. It's high time that we implemented age limits for Congress and the presidency. Let a new generation finally take the reins. What do you think the max age should be for a politician? Please ❤️ and share if you support age limits for the White House and Congress!
