Yesterday, McConnell was asked about concern that Ukraine could turn into another Afghanistan. He said he thought Afghanistan was a huge success and we shouldn’t have left it.
He also said this is the time for immigration reform, while democrats are in charge.

They got into our businesses.
They got in our education system.
They are in our government.
Just when and how do we stop it.
If you think there is another way or another person.. Beside DJT.. You have not been paying attention.

Are the FINCen records subject to freedom of information act requests? Could they be hit with Alinksky's #4 rule:
RULE 4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

You can mess with their algorithm by also ordering the Che Guevara coffee mug.

You know... Back when we were giving the FedGov these powers to “fight the war on terror” (said in a Texas accent)... Civil libertarians like myself said that these same powers would some day be used against the rest of us...

Not going to hold my breath that anyone will be self-aware enough to apologize.

They think nothing will happen to them because it’s only MAGA people they’re going after. They will be shocked to find when they are next.

How about “Free”, or “Republic,” used separately or together?

I doubt it. We’ve got a generation that was taught to be radical leftists. How to re-education them? I say a start is teaching them real consequences for their bad decisions.

Truth in watching what they do. They identify with the ones who lie, cheat, steal, take your freedoms.

They do not identify with Christians or good working people paying taxes.. They do think we are less than.
