DHS's Endless Trolling

From the article (my emphasis):

It was, no surprise, a fake. Trump had cribbed the coat of arms from Joseph Edward Davies, whose wife had built Mar-a-Lago and who had legitimately been granted the crest in the 1930s. He had made only one minor change, erasing the Davies family motto of “integritas” (integrity) and replacing it with “Trump.”

Absolutely perfect.

They want it for themselves, but not for us. The wealthy want us to be completely dependent upon them for their largesse. It’s neofeudalism.

The settler meme was the most shocking: it featured a famous 1872 painting depicting Manifest Destiny called American Progress. It shows Native Americans fleeing groups of white settlers moving by covered wagon.

This is standard Trump-style revenge:

The House is expected to consider the subcommittee resolution when members are back from the lengthy August recess.

Thanks for the reminder.

Republicans… your representative is not at work again today. Take time to ask him why he hasn’t been working to stop the abuse and trafficking of children in this country.

Facts not in evidence. Dems refused to use barely 25% of their lawful powers even when the nation and constitution were under full-on and unlawful attack. Wouldn’t lift a finger when large chunks of elected Rs and R officials openly breached their Oaths of Office. Not even a hint of imagination or creativity.

Too bad he lost all semblance of character.

Good luck to him on the new job in the administration.

Yeah, to all appearances, RFK, Jr., wants more people to die.
And he hides his wish behind a beard of half assed pseudoscience.

I am holding new grandbaby in one arm and trying to type with the other. See my New D party platform and planks I have been posting recently. abolish EC, roll back CU, expand court.

Also what would a constitutional conv. look like if Ds won majorities? I am ignorant but with the above planks, etc. we might get a lot of disaffected voters on our train…just by showing we are ready to start a new rebirth.

I’m down with shunning and ostracism.
The nation would benefit if they were applied more generally to this administration.

The painting was created as the U.S. continued to fight wars to displace and destroy the remaining Native American tribes. "

not to change the subject, is one of Israel’s big justifications. Hey, we’re just like YOU, America! So what the problem?
