The only people who still think these guys are “experts” still think wrestling is real 😂😂😂😂

Why is anyone in shock? None of this should be a surprise to anyone at this point. Come on. Weren't people watching for the last 8 years?

Butthead won’t last, get the popcorn. Even his peers don’t support this.

[obinnayoung]

If you abolish the FBI, CDC, DOJ, ATF, Medicare, Obamacare, Department of education, and social security, what's going to replace them within 4 years? This is madness.

1933. Germany was saying yes to Hitler. 1945 Germany was in ruins. 1945 our grandparents said Never Again

The beginning of the end of America's democracy and common sense.

Well, maybe if they weren't so *feckless* themselves, we wouldn't be in this position now.
Yes, you, MERRICK.

Dear Matt Gaetz...14, 15, 16, 17...That's still JAIL BAIT.

Living in Windsor, Ontario, Canada across the Detroit River. It's quite apparent that the American people writ large or enmasse have accepted the Trump/MAGA ideology. I've been following American politics since Russia attacked, occupied, or usurped parts of the Donbas, Luhansk, & Crimea in 2014. Without charge or barely a mention, in contrast to present day, by our Western Nations at the time. Days are becoming darker (not due to Autumn)...

[PeterJelo]

didn't Gaetz literally just resign?

[cashaeleatemla]

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced Wednesday night that Gaetz had resigned from Congress effective immediately to "start the clock" on the process for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to call a special election to fill his vacancy. Gaetz's resignation will end the probe by the Ethics Committee, which does not investigate members after they have left Congress.

Never has someone with such a scandalous background held such a high position in government.

Let’s face it! We have a bunch of clowns and criminals coming into power.
