114. NO
Mon Jun 1, 2026, 02:37 PM
19 hrs ago

NO. I've considered this over many long hours, as it involves my family. NO. I will never forgive them the ICE cruelty, and the Supreme Court disaster that electing this man has caused. All the evidence was there in 2015. So, they knew, and did it anyway. Twice. NO.
The damage done is immense. (and more is coming, what Trump wants, what he really wants, is Civil War.)
