We kind of knew that already but some more evidence plus there are videos to prove stuff or to manipulate those who came to his private island.

Give credit to Musk for standing up against the fat tax bill which will once again give the biggest relief to the richest and still raising the debt because they're just shuffling the money from Democratic purposes but now fattening up the Republicans.

Elon was trying to hurt the orange felon king because of his taking away support for electric vehicles. He will likely keep it up be it in public view or not. He could have spoken out before he quit and likely he quit because DOGE is a fraud rather than eliminating fraud and he wants to be in another country for legal reasons. He is not a good person whatever he says.

Say It Isn't So!
Saw this too. Steven A. said that Trump promised to run for president in 2014 if the NFL didn't approve his $1.1 billion bid to buy the Bills. He said Trump wanted to mess with the system. Well...he certainly has. Thank you, Trump supporters. YOU are to THANK for the mess we are in. Okay...not me. The last time I was in country, Obama was in charge. We were moving in the right direction...not left or right, but in the correct direction.

Is Trump using and goading the LA ICE protest issue to enable his authoritarian ideals as well as to run cover for his Bestest Biggest Bill because it is so horrible for the American public? How far will the National Guard and Marines go. Will a shooting benefit Trump or be the beginning of the end for him? Orange Clown taking a chance. Already 6 times bankrupt and loser in lawsuits. We'll see in the coming days.

Would not surprise me if he's also doing this to distract from his Elon blowup and Elon pointing out what the rest of us already knew...... that Trump is in the Epstein files and that they haven't been fully released because of that.

It's okay to storm the White House. But you can't protest a parade. It's all mixed up.

The White House is a historical place in America. The streets of Los Angeles are known for the O.J Simpson white Bronco car chase.

Uhmm...I just remember Republicans complaining about the Democrats always wasting money. One of our forum members was particularly perturbed that Obama used Air Force One to make a state visit to Hawaii. Now, Trump is using Air Force One to play golf on a regular basis. Where is the outrage? The ungodly waste of taxpayer money on ICE raids is just grotesque. Now, we're gonna spend upwards of $50 Mill. on a stupid military parade to celebrate Trump's birthday?

In the 80's, I witnessed upwards of 10 ICE agents tackle a Japanese manager at the store I worked at in Ala Moana. Under his visa, he was designated an advisor...and because a disgruntled, naturalized. incompetent, Japanese manager had been fired....they gang tackled this peaceful, well-meaning manager in my store. Japanese managers do what ever is necessary to facilitate the situation. They are NEVER DEI hires. They get SH*T DONE!!!

It's a shame that only in the US, differences are settled by shootings with two Democrats shot in Minnesota.

In Russia the political opponent falls off a tall building or gets arrested with fabricated charges. This is a direct result of the current administration promoting violence and that makes it seem okay for others to commit violent acts. We have a mental health crisis in the USA brought on by the orange felon king. There is going to be more violence before this is over. LOTS OF IT. Unless the people rise up and kick the corrupt leadership out.
