We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country?
Congress? Any answers?

Synopsis:
If ear the wreckage to come, after Trump signs the 100's of Executive Orders already drafted, and

However I am outraged for those vets that are going to be cast out by Musk and Ramaswamy..
It remind me of how Stalin dealt with the cripples and limbless Vets that hung around Red Square. when the sun came up one morning, they were all gone and Stalin was no longer embarrassed by the failure of the state to tak…
We defoliated a mahogony forest in Tay Ninh province during Junction City. I was in a discussion group with a physician who was in the 1st Div medical units -- said all his colleagues got it... the water.
