Democrats have spent two years calling Trump a fascist, a dictator, an existential threat to democracy.
They used that language every single day – from the Senate floor, from the cable news studios, from the campaign trail.
And then they act shocked when someone with a shotgun and a manifesto shows up at the hotel.
The rhetoric has consequences.
Here’s what the left still refuses to understand after three attempts.
Every time they send someone – a rooftop sniper in Butler, a man with a shotgun and a manifesto at the Hilton – Trump comes out of it more resolute, more visible, and more determined to stay in the room.

“Now, if they want to write them, that’s fine. But I don’t have to let them into my — into the people’s house.”
You president is a sensitive-ass-snowflake.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins defended current beef prices by arguing that $6.50 a pound for ground beef is a good value that can feed a family of four.
They are never going to give you $9000 to stay home with your kids. Just like you never got your DOGE check, tariff refund, cheaper groceries, $2 gas, a healthcare plan, or 600% off your prescriptions. At some point, being this gullible becomes a fucking choice.

P.S. You also will not receive $5000 if the Republicans win the midterms.
Here is how our President ended his speech in Dallas last night.
“Raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States. That loves us so much he can’t even breathe. That I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it any way, I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try to cheat like hell like they do. I am gonna go out, and I’m going to get my friends, my family and we are going to vote on November 3 or we are going to vote before that.”
Then he added: “You know what happens if you don’t vote? You go to hell, you know that. And I don’t want that to happen to you, so please go and vote.”
He tells his supporters to cheat. To vote whether they are registered or not. What a patriot!
Mitch McConnell’s medical teams says, after 85 days of being out of sight, that he “is still having issues with breathing.” Correct me if I am wrong, isn’t this a very common side effect to not being alive?

It’s interesting that a candidate, Zach Lahn, wealthy enough to loan his own campaign $2.5 million, who co-founded a private school in Kansas that was initially financed by Chase Koch (son of billionaire Charles Koch), where six of his own children attend, and who owns an Iowa farm, is attacking his Iowa opponent’s wealth. Whether Rob Sand is wealthy or not, voters deserve factual campaigns, not misleading ones. And by the way, Lahn’s repeated claim that Rob Sand is a billionaire is demonstrably false. It confuses him with a different Robert Sands—a billionaire from New York. Facts matter, to voters, but apparently not to Zach Lane. Unfortunately, you can, make this shit up, because it’s legal.

Michael and Susan Dell pledge $6.25 billion to fund “Trump Accounts” for 25 million eligible kids to get $250 invested in S&P in their name. President buys $5M in Dell stock. The next day Dell gets a $10 billion contract from the Pentagon. Dell’s stock price goes up 300%.
See how grifting works? Corruption in plain sight!
Despite all the commotion trump is drumming up to deflect away from the terrible job he is doing as President, two questions still need answering…will the trump administration ever release all the epstein files? and where is Mitch McConnell? A good third question is where will trump get the beef he intends to import to hopefully (for him) gain him a few more votes?
The national debt has doubled in less than a decade, growing from under $20 trillion in 2016 to over 40 trillion today.
“At 9:32 AM, he (trump) praised his “very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea,” while repeating that he had instructed Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to substantially reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, bending American military policy to please the North Korean dictator. So within the same hour that Trump was threatening Canada, one of our closest allies and a democracy that has stood beside us for generations, he was bragging about doing a favor for Kim Jong Un. And I don’t know how we are supposed to look at that and pretend any of this is normal. Canada is not threatening us with nuclear weapons. They are not starving their own people, imprisoning political opponents, or running one of the most repressive governments on earth. They are our neighbor and our ally. Yet Trump treats them like an enemy that needs to be punished while treating a brutal dictator like a friend whose approval he desperately wants.” Heather Delaney Reese
At Biden’s December 2023 peak, Border Patrol was processing 336 illegal aliens every hour – the same number Trump’s agents are stopping in an entire day.
Trump downplays the conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln while the reality of the situation is that it has turned deadly. Of course, CentCom denies it but several sources say a brawl on board saw 7 sailors killed and many injured. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xv3j51JxcC4
Zach Lahn’s whole line about his deep devotion to the family farm is just a con. His grandfather did not live on that farm; he was a corporate pilot in Sioux City. His father did not live on that farm; he was a minister in Hinton, Iowa. Zach has never lived on a farm, much less earned a living being a farmer. Yet, this is who republicans in Iowa think will lead us out of the wilderness Kim Reynolds put us in.
Someone explain to me why Ashley Biden’s diary, Hunter Biden’s laptop, Joe Biden’s interviews with his memoir co-author, and now, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary have all been released to the public.
And yet the Epstein files-mandated by law to be released in their entirety months ago-still remain unreleased.
And, oh yeah, Jack Smith’s Special Prosecutor’s Report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, still mothballed.
It is almost as if the DOJ and interested members on Capitol Hill and the judiciary, are covering something up. Right????
Hey Brandy, how do you feel about Max Miller? You ripped into the Dems for supporting Platner. Are you supporting Mad Max?
When is Harry O going to prison for molesting young girls? He has almost as many victims as Epstein.
One of trump’s biggest issues during his re-election campaign in 2024 was Medicare and Medicaid. He said numerous times that he wouldn’t let anyone touch Medicare benefits. Today his administration announced they will raise the deduction for prescriptions by 20% next year.
Yesterday a memo was leaked that had been sent to all Republican Congressional offices in DC that advised them to call Democrats “communists.” It was some Republican political strategy business that told Congresspeople that the electorate was most frightened by the word “COMMUNISTS,” and they should start using it regularly. So they did. It would appear Joe McCarthy is still a big influence in the GOP.
