41. SHUT IT DOWN!

Thu Mar 13, 2025, 06:05 PM

Mar 2025

It's the Republicans watch. They own this. Democrats have very few buttons to push. This is a big one. We, the public are already experiencing suffering at the hands of the Felon and his administration. Don't buckle. The Republicans doubt your fortitude, prove them wrong. Everybody gets hurt in a fight which is why most don't want to fight and they are counting on that fear.
The news is superficially covering this administration and there actions. Let them try to ignore this. Not gonna happen.
