There's a lot going on, and a lot to argue about. But we should all be able to agree that the shocking levels of incompetence shown in the leadership of our federal government is both historically unmatched, and it hurts all of us.

He’s laying the groundwork to fuck with & overthrow the 2026 election. He’s laying the groundwork to stay in the White House after the 2028 election. Donald Trump is America’s enemy. It must be said. He is an enemy to this country. And he must be stopped.
