Where’s the evidence?
Perhaps he meant on the FBIs most wanted list. Or perhaps trump was Under Cover to get as much information as possible. Perhaps?
It’s way too late to avoid disaster. The alarm has been screaming for months. This administration’s incompetence and corruption has eroded the stability of our democracy.
Makes one wonder how many other rules/regulations are being eliminated without the public’s knowledge.
Insulting! Hope the governors who sent the guards are satisfied.
This entire administration should be impeached and removed from office immediately.
Hard to believe but every day this country gets more crazy. Eight months of chaos!
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
Again loyalty to trump will come back and bite you in the behind.
If it goes as far as the Supreme Court she’s doomed. This court headed by Roberts is a sham. Giving those justices live appointments is a disaster for the country for decades.
Release them into society and then blame everyone else for the rising crime rate.
That sentence is of utmost importance. He has absolutely no clue what he is doing! I’m not a supporter. The first term was lousy but tolerable. This term he is totally out of his depth. The man has serious mental issues.
Explain to me why people in the red states who voted for trump love him and now have to swallow his neglect and disregard aren’t enraged by his focus and obsession with the blue states who did not vote for him and don’t like him.
"Honey, I don't have much time. I've been arrested by ICE and they are sending me to a detainment center. I love you and the kids, I will be OK, please call our attorney" -- John Shin, DACA resident, speaking to his wife last week. She hasn't heard from him since www.fox13now.com/news/local-n...
I have a Medicare Advantage plan for now but I plan to change that in open season. I’m not satisfied with UHC Medicare advantage coverage. Many health providers won’t accept it because they believe they won’t be paid.
Further evidence of his hatred and disrespect for women especially black women even when they are extraordinarily qualified for a position.
Trump doesn’t give a damn about anything except feeding his out of control ego at the expense of us all. He’s been given immunity by the court and he uses that to wield power and control over the American people.
Absolutely every one of us right now needs to be paying attention and doing whatever we can do to counteract this obscene takeover.
But what about the raging crime in DC?
I’m with you on that.
If you show up for your immigration appointment you’re arrested and if you don’t show up for your immigration appointment you are arrested! Good Lord what are people supposed to do?
Trump doesn’t give a damn. He hates the American people and despises being the president but he’ll do anything to stay out of prison.
I would never ever bow down to trump period! If it resulted in my party being the minority then so be it. I wouldn’t be happy about it but no good comes from dancing with evil! P
Crazy. Cmon man! Not what trump demanded! What about the gang members and cartel leaders who are destroying the country?
Me too. Let them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps. Call us names while running to the banks with our money.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!! I'm so done with blue states funding red state terrorism. And also, for those asking WHAT ARE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING?
Caught my attention!
No. He’s not testing anything. Supreme Court has given him permission so he knows there are no limits thus no consequences preventing him from doing whatever he chooses to do and to whoever he chooses. His unleashed ego gone amok is destroying this country.
These people are manipulative and dangerous.
I pray that you are right because every day I wake up and realize that my great grandchildren have less rights now than I did as a child in the 1950s.
I’m old school. I’m if you pull another book down and you don’t get up right now the prospect of you being able to sit again and visit the book store is looming large. If you don’t understand what I mean look it up. I’ll wait.
Say it louder! JUNETEENTH!
I’m going to look into that! Every little bit helps! Thanks
Sadly this is what the Republican Party wants to happen. The Republican Party stands by and encourages the destruction of our country. I’m 79+ years and I never thought I’d experience this
I’m in
Didn’t they already try this in WACO Tx?
Yes it would.
I believe you. Usually people who complain prefer to complain rather than seek a solution.
Another cartoon for my non existent book: “The Trump Experiment - A Study of Failure”
I’m not sure what they expect him to do specifically. As minority leader he has no power in the House. Perhaps if they verbalize for us their reservations resolution could be offered.
DC is a small area. Most of what many consider DC is really Maryland or Virginia. Andrew’s AFB and surrounding area are MD. Pentagon areas are VA. FDA and SSA are in MD. Airports serving DC are in Virginia. Most metro stations are in MD and VA. It has 3 police Park Capital and Metro already.
And far too many states will allow it to happen because they bow to their traitorous leader. Utter disgrace!
Totally agree! I just don’t have a clue about what we the people of this country can do to protect our rights. The Supreme Court is against the Constitution. The House of Representatives and Senate are in trump’s pocket! Protesting is super important but they ignore our voices.
Congratulations! She’s an amazing athlete.
If it’s not leaks on the signal chain it’s papers left behind in the printer. It’s an incompetent kakistocracy. www.npr.org/2025/08/16/n...
The Ten Commandments "Christian"? They were given to Moses. But hey, if AR is looking for Christian commandments to post, try the "big 2", Jesus's answer to a question about the greatest commandment. Heck, just post "love your neighbor as yourself" in church. Then obey that one, folks.
Consider following the commandments not just posting them in public!
How about just for fun Obama announces that he’s running for a third term against trump!
Or since he loves fake gold let’s just make up a fake gold painted one and give it to him. He won’t know the difference.
Imagine if they’d had sandwiches. 🥪
@chrislhayes.bsky.social Hayes latest book The Sirens Call is highly recommended for anyone who struggles to understand what is happening right now and how and why it’s happening. A must read!
The people better get WOKE and they better do it quickly.
They in their hearts agree with trump.
So MAGA people have you forgot about the Epstein files now that your leader has given you something else to focus on? Hey look at the horrible crime in DC! Crime in the big cities! Unsafe!
They have no money to pay fines! You all have lost what little sense you had. And jails! Where? DC jails are super crowded already and you added the arrests by ICE and now you want to add the homeless? Heck it’ll cost more to house and feed these people than if you reached out with a little help.
"The demonstrations scheduled for this Saturday, August 16th are branded as 'Fight the Trump Takeover'..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...
Just like the war in Ukraine ended on his first day in office.
My ancestors were brought here as early as 1619 so according to Vance we are one of the few true Americans. And how about the Native Americans Vance who were already here! Born and raised here!
Doesn’t deploy federal troops to stop a Capitol invasion or save children from a Texas flood or clean up debris from a StL tornado. Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags. Got it.
And if you live in a Red State where there is crime you are on your own? Of course it’s not really a problem because we all know that crime only exists in cities where the leadership is black like DC or Baltimore or Chicago or Los Angeles.
Maybe we can get a fortune teller to give us some insight about where the heck this country is headed. How can we stop this runaway train before it destroys us all?
Why? MAGA likes them uneducated.
Absolutely expected. Just the next step towards pardoning yet another criminal back in to free society. Perhaps he could just visit the prisons across the country and give a blanket pardon to every single white man or woman regardless of the crime committed.
"That’s the sort of thing you hear before having to make a difficult decision about grandpa’s future..." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...
PS. Don’t stop talking about Epstein.

We need a specific plan to address this madness. Enough discussion already.
In lockstep! Folks you better get WOKE!
And what a coincidence he starts with national guard presence in cities with black leadership. No crime in Miami or Nashville or St Louis or Pittsburgh or Dallas? Allowed in MAGA cities?
Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there
Every now and then, I like to repost this.
So now we have become the Bully of the world.
This is what happens when you decide to pay the bully in hope that he will leave you alone.
Disgraceful. Why do this to men and women who have served the country honorably?
Better hurry before the insurance company deniesthe procedure. Says it’s unnecessary.
Hey just like in this country!
Absolutely. There are only two in this family and right now we are able to afford the groceries we need. However I don’t see how families with children can afford groceries and other needed items. Every day costs are increasing. Groceries alone are at least $100 weekly.
Absolutely! I just heard someone call him an immortal monster.
It will be removed until the next administration restores it. Trump can try to rewrite history but we the people know the truth. Every one of these actions just reveal what a petty liar he is.
So weary of this corruption
It was never about the violent criminals! It was about eliminating or discouraging black and brown people from coming to this country. MAGA seems to be just ensuring that white heterosexual males prosper in this country.
These fake Christians will watch the world fall apart before admitting their allegiance to trump has nothing to do with following the teachings of Jesus Christ!
I’m 79 years old and I’ve been a supporter of the Supreme Court until recently. There’s nothing Supreme about this court and its obsession with kowtowing to the president and ignoring the constitution is alarming contributing to the destruction of our country.
Children! No one seems to care that children were targeted for sexual abuse by some extremely wealthy individuals. As long as the president is exonerated!
Senator from one of the poorest states in the country voting against help for the people in her state. My oh my
The only president in my lifetime who is obsessed with the destruction of the country. Eisenhower Kennedy Johnson Nixon Ford Carter Reagan Bush Clinton Bush Obama Biden each contributed something to the good of the people. But trump so far leaves only the tearing down of the constitution.
And I promise you the senate will absolutely confirm his nomination. Watch
It’s not his age it’s his lack of intelligence his allegiance to corruption and his inability to comprehend the duties of the president of this country.
Heaven forbid this administration do anything to help the American people or boost our economy! Rather make our country the most inefficient and unproductive on the planet.
Never would have imagined the court would showcase their bias in such a public way. They aren’t even hiding under a hood. So where are the people to go for help?
So many checks and balances rules laws etc have been undone or ignored by this administration. It will be most difficult to govern if there’s a country left after this mess. Younger people will ask what the heck happened!
I wouldn’t trust the current administration to abide by any contract or grant period.
I’m positive there’s a Fox News couch potato ready to take over. Or maybe it’s a loud mouth talk show commentator screaming conspiracy theories.
Trying to understand what is the goal of this. Just get rid of workers because trump doesn’t like the agency. Perhaps next he’ll get rid of the house of representatives or those who didn’t vote for his big ugly bill. But he’ll keep the Supreme Court so they can justify his crimes.
I can’t understand why the supreme court encourages this behavior.
Daily now I want to just vomit when I think about the leadership of this country. All three branches!
