I admire your resilience and values. We must not forget that the Republicans in Congress enabled and continue to enable this clown. Clearly this psycho must be removed -he is destroying our country in front of our eyes. Thanks Michael for what you have done.

What? And the Democrats didn't also enable it?

As you know, Democrats do not have the majority in Congress. Not much they can do there. Newsom IS doing something - specifically asking California if they would allow redistricting to counter what Texas plans to do: gerrymander 5 Democratic house seats away. The Supreme Court has helped Trump quite a bit, although many lower courts have followed the law (Colorado Supreme Court comes to mind). Tell me, how have Democrats enabled Trump?

Also, redistricting is nothing, and obviously won't pass. It's a performance, paid bot boy

Newsom hasn't stopped ICE. He hasn't recalled the National Guard, he has never lifted a finger to stop the serious corruption, brutality, and human rights violations in California.

Democrats have supported the genocide in Palestine, and regularly take money from Israel. They said nothing about the fake assassination attempt on Trump, nor have any of them done anything but performative speeches against Trump.

That's just off the top of my head

Yes, I do not agree with support of the Israeli government - they are eliminating a population while the world stands by. Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Today, we'll learn more about democrats when we see how the DNC votes on Proposition 18 which calls for 1) a ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict; 2) humanitarian aid and release of Israeli hostages; 4) an arms embargo on Israel; 5) support for a two-state solution that ensures dignity, freedom, and opportunity for both Israelis and Palestinians; 6) recognition of Palestine as a state.

And I agree with you that democrats have fallen asleep at the wheel.

Trump on crime in D.C. in May 2025 and in August 2025.

All the same Trump.

Bravo Sir! I am truly gobsmacked that this plain, appalling truth is not embraced by millions of so called God fearing American patriots. What happened to police on January 6 is an utter desecration of the countless lives of service witnessed across America in the name of freedom and justice. It was a day of deep shame that has only deepened further when a majority of voters saw fit to place that vile cretin back in the Oval Office.

I’ll never forget your testimony at the J6 hearings. If more people had seen that, things might be different. To me, personally, you are a hero and an inspiration. Thank you for staying vocal.

You nailed it saying if more people had seen Michael’s testimony and then watched the hearings we might be in an entirely different place.

Trump has repeatedly used his manipulated "law and order" actions to his own advantage and to the disadvantage of how it really should be used in our country. This is not America.

And on top of everything else, it's designed to be another distraction from the Epstein files. Trump is beyond pathetic.

I am very worried that police here will not serve and protect. Their oath may be different from that of the US Military, but they still must know that Trump is just a felon doing illegal things, destroying the country in the process. We need the police. But they need us, too. We are one people. DC needs to stand up. United.

The police will always be outnumbered. They need the support of the people, the support of the neighborhoods. All bad practice, especially coming from the top, corrodes that support and endangers everyone. Thank you for your service Officer Fanone. You and your brothers will never be forgotten.

What a hard beat. 20 years. Impressive. We need a lot of police officers to say no to the dictator when he is unlawful and/or depraved.

Ukraine is not democratic, Zelenskyy has made himself “President” since mid-May.

You support a Dictator and not your duly elected President… good job, glad you’re an American.

By the way, Putin was elected, Zelenskyy wasn’t elected.

Very simple, sorta like your mind.

Thank you for continuing to stand up. While you and a few fellow LEOs have been the main faces of this unending travesty, countless of your brothers and sisters in blue have been slapped down by these actions, too. Many of us know this and wish we could do something helpful, something personal. We will fight the best we can, but you know...I would really like to make you some cookies.

Trump does not care about anyone or anything but himself. He doesn't see the military or other law enforcement as people..They are toy soldiers he can direct at his whim.
