Murkowski Says She’s Scared. Tim Says QUIT the GOP and Join the Fight!

 

+ 3,500 COMMENTS WORTH READING!

She’s 67 and Collins is 72. Afraid of what? Giving up privilege? At this point in her and Collins’ careers I say—stand up and risk your damn jobs and switch parties. The rest of us are afraid that we will lose everything we worked for and our freedom because of the dude you keep enabling. Don’t tell me you are afraid—do something!

Let’s remember, this could have all been avoided multiple times. It was the Republicans who brought this monster to power. It was the Republicans who had two bites at the apple to prohibit this monster from taking office after two impeachments. It was the Republicans who decided this monster should stay on the ballot. It was the Republicans who decided this monster should have immunity. It was the Republicans who nerfed the meaning, intention, and guardrail of section 3 of the 14th amendment to prohibit this monster from entering office again. It’s been the Republicans that have acquiesced to this monster at every turn. I’m absolutely disinterested in any claim of fear on their part. Against all warnings and rationale, they brought this evil plague upon our nation. DO YOUR JOBS AND REIGN IN THIS MONSTER! NO MORE DAMN EXCUSES!

BRUTAL New 60 Minutes Report Exposes Trump Admin Crimes

 

+ 7,700 COMMENTS WORTH READING!

I am a retired Correctional Sgt. I have no love for real gang members. I have lost all respect for our government. The rule of law has been erased. I am so disgusted. It literally makes me want to cry. We have become the criminals. Due process is a foundational part of the rule of law. If we don't have that, we are not a free country. If it is allowed to happen to them, how long before it is you and me?

"We" didn't do this, Trump, MAGA, and Republicans did this. Never forget!

This is absolutely no different than what the Nazis did to Jews, gays, gypsies, those with mental illness, even before WWII even started. The picture of Andry’s head being shaved was a gut punch that made me cry. The only difference between this admin and the Nazis is they’re outsourcing the nasty, dirty job of traumatizing and killing these people. We all know the fact that Andry being gay makes him one of the biggest targets in that place. I’m just sick. I’m horrified, but not surprised, this is the point that the Trump regime has brought us to. Thank you for these updates, Tim. It IS fucking awful, but we need to stay informed of what’s going on, as much as it hurts our hearts.

How much of our tax payer money is going to El Salvador to house these men? But it's ok for the taxpayers to let trump go golfing on the American dime. This sucks.

Screw visiting America. An Australian was just disappeared, sent to a federal prison, denied any contact with his family, before being later deported. He was there to just to hold a conference!

We are watching Nazi Germany come back to life. I went to Munich last year and learned about how the Nazi’s took over. We are watching this all over again and I never dreamed it would be the USA repeating history.

I am a disabled woman. Ever since this has happened the one thing in the front of my mind is what Hitler did to disabled people. He killed them or use them in medical experiments. I have nightmares about that now. That should not happen in America. I wish I had a platform where I can rant and cryAnd people will hear me. Thank you for being here in this time.

I am crying as I watch this. I am a gay, US Navy Veteran who gave seven years of my life to the country. What a bunch of sadists. Poor Tim was almost crying himself. Whata bunch of truly hateful people. BTW, these gangs WOULD NOT ALLOW an out gay man to be part of their gang. It's against their "principles". They don't beilieve in homosexuality. Not at all. There's a very special place in hell for Stephen Miller, Trump, Noem, Elon, Vance, Susie, Marco and the rest of this inhuman gang of con men and thieves. I despite them all.

It kills me when people say that comparing this to Nazi Germany is “too extreme” or “hyperbolic.” No—it’s not. It’s deadly serious. History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it rhymes. And right now, the echoes are deafening.

I just got off a call where I had to announce a massive layoff for my 23 year old consulting firm. My clients are F500 firms, paralyzed by the instability in this economy, are making no buying decisions - for months! I was crying already when I watched this, and I am sobbing now. I am in despair over our country's cruelty, lawlessness, and inhumanity. Thank you, Tim for keeping us informed.

Sackets Harbor, NY this last week end as TOM HOMAN has one of his ‘homes’ there. ICE ‘kidnapped’ a mom & 3 children from their school a couple weeks ago there was a protest with about 700 people that all walked to Homan’s home. It doesn’t sound like a lot but, it’s huge for up here …small population, seasonal and very ‘red’. Only a few MAGAS had shown up but ignored. Secret service, ice, FBI, local cop’s showed up but it was peaceful. WE JUST WANT OUR CHILDREN BACK & THEIR MOM. They have lived & worked up here 15years.. now, after being hand cuffed in school, are now in TEXAS! Channel 7 did a lengthy coverage(but,it is a FOX station coverage). Please come up here and speak with the wonderful principal of their school. JUSTICE MATTERS We want our kids back️️️

CBS News finds evidence of atrocities near Ukraine's capital as Russia is accused of war crimes

RUSSIA'S LIES!

Moscow claimed on Monday that the deaths occurred after its forces left the area, and that Russian soldiers never harmed a single civilian, but an analysis of satellite photos, first reported by the New York Times, shows bodies were strewn across Bucha's streets and yards long before Russian forces beat a hasty retreat late last week.

Patta said that when she and her team visited the town, they saw evidence of atrocities: Civilians shot in the head with their hands bound; at least one resident apparently cut down by Russian tank fire while riding down the street on a bicycle; mass graves filled with nearly 300 bodies.

CBS BUCHA MASSACRE

Bucha killings: Satellite image of bodies site contradicts Russian claims

A satellite image of Bucha in Ukraine appears to show bodies lying in the street nearly two weeks before the Russians left the town.

The image from 19 March, first reported by the New York Times and confirmed by the BBC, directly contradicts Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's claim that footage of bodies in Bucha, that has emerged in recent days, was "staged" after the Russians withdrew.

The satellite image shows objects that appear to be bodies in the exact locations where they were subsequently found by Ukrainian forces when they regained control of the town north of Kyiv.

Along another section of the road, the image shows what appear to be more bodies on the ground.
