10,000 ICE agents couldn’t control Minneapolis, despite the carnage and disruption caused.

Thousands of National Guard troops couldn’t control LA.

Despite acting with lawless impunity daily, This administration has been stalled, stymied or restrained by the courts numerous times.

Never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

On top of that, in addition to being the most corrupt administration in history, they are also the most incompetent .

Onward to November and victory!
