@RWPUSA @crcwilkinson The 12th amendment says that no one who is INELIGBLE to be president, can be vice president. Having served two terms (and I use the word “served” loosely), makes him INELIGBLE to be vice president.

Hamas just got to appoint people it wanted on the "technocratic committee" after saying the terror group will maintain security control over the Strip, won't disarm & has regained full control after a campaign of terror & torture against any opposition. Qatar resurrected Hamas.đź’”

This morning, MAGA is trying to rewrite history—claiming Reagan was anti-immigrant and pro-protectionism. But the truth is, Reagan stood for almost everything Trump opposes. It’d be a real shame if this went viral. https://t.co/0MrbmKx2BP

📸Behind this breathtaking shot of Hungary’s opposition rally marking the 1956 uprising: Viktor Orbán’s gov't banned drones to try conceal the crowd’s size. Yet a passenger on a landing plane caught the scene in Budapest from above — the photo hit Reddit and went viral instantly.

Totally ignored by western media, some of the largest protests in Hungary's history just occurred. The Russian-backed Orban regime has a total media blackout on it for a reason.

When 56 seconds of silence speak louder than any words. It was an indescribable feeling when the crowd of hundreds of thousands stood in complete silence to honor our 1956 heroes, and then the bells began to ring… It was the most iconic moment since the 1989 regime change,

BREAKING: After the release of an ad that caused Trump's tantrum ending trade talks with Canada, the original video of Ronald Reagan slamming tariffs has resurfaced. He called the new ad "fake." The original destroys Trump on tariffs. Share this widely. https://t.co/e6aE3NlbLA

There is no rebellion. Not in Los Angeles. Not in Portland or Chicago or D.C. Not in San Francisco. And yet Donald Trump continues to threaten invocation of the Insurrection Act to force these cities to bend the knee to his will.
