When they find Alligator Alcatraz illegal, those that were behind it should be ordered to be held there until it is totally removed.

A change of language is needed:

The Big Beautiful Bill should be called the MASSIVE MAGA MURDER BILL.

Deportation apprehensions should be called ABDUCTIONS or even KIDNAPPINGS.

MASKED agents are conducting a WAR on our streets. We need a Mellisa Hortman Assault Weapons Act. We need a Ronald Reagan Roadmap to Expanded Citizenship Act.

We need to introduce legislation towards the world we want to live in.

It’s Trump’s war ON Iran; not WITH Iran. Authoritarians go to War to grab or hold onto domestic power.

How to oppose an authoritarian:

1. Refuse

2. Resist

3. Ridicule (makes authoritarian seem confront-able instead of invincible). Can use comedy and mockery.

There is no ROI when kissing the Ring.

Welp. Since the supreme court, congress, and the nazis in the white house don’t obey or respect the law, the only way to stop them is via extrajudicial means.

They have created a situation where the only way to end this is to start taking them out of the picture. Their actions have created 100 million implacable and permanent enemies with the stroke of a pen. Many of them have nothing to lose by wasting these mazi motherfuckers.

Don’t kid yourself by saying this will blow over. They know they are dead if elections take place. Why wait? How many voters have they set up to kill by passing a bill everyone hates?

Because these Medicaid cuts wont happen until 2029, the next administration will get blamed for it. We can say it over and over, but it wont show up for several years, so Trump wont be hurt by it.

It needs to be repealed before another administration gets blamed!

Only if there is an election in 2026 and only if it is secure and only if the Dems rate both the House and Senate.

I’m loving all your content. The historians are fascinating and it’s complicated is a gas. I have read some briefs and was so grateful for your breakdown of terms. Keep up the great work.

There were alligators in the marshes in and around Gainesville, Florida, back when I attended the University of Florida in the 1980s. Every once in awhile one would wander onto campus, and there would be an alligator alert.

Members of my own family who depend on Medicaid and SNAP are still convinced Donald won’t hit those programs. Because the cuts won’t happen for a couple years, midterms won’t be affected. 🤦‍♀️

Just proves some people on medicaid and snap aren’t really that stupid.

Guessing many of these new detention centers, concentration camps are private for profit operations?

MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE NO HEALTHCARE AND NO FOOD STAMPS. THROW ELDERLY OFF MEDICAID INTO THE STREETS. LET ALL THESE PEOPLE DIE. COLD-BLOODED EVIL. THE GOP IN CONGRESS KEEP THEIR HEALTHCARE AND SALARY,SO THEY CONTINUE TO EAT AND STAY HOUSED.

What is really ironic is that DOGE abolished the organizations that were exposing fraud and waste and had good results. But, they would probably expose the fraudulent nursing homes that are owned by people who bribed Trump for pardons! That’s really the abuse that should be exposed!

Thanks for the update on the legal news and especially for growing back your beard.

Your face looked naked without it.

SCOTUS called. They wanted to remind DEI and reprobate leftist circuit judges of their “Nope” decision.

In 6 months, the Florida detention facility will be twice as big, and there will be 10 more of them spread out on federal land in democrat states.

Degenerate dreams of demographic change BTFO.
