Drag these Muskrats to the DC Jail. I'm sure that someone in there will want to meet "Big Balls", while the others will get an ass-whupping not covered by their Tesla healthcare package...

Jesus Christ, these DOGE-bags are brazen and evil.

The USIP, established in 1984 by Republican POTUS Ronald Reagan, was invaded by Brownshirts. What's next? The US Library of Congress?

So now the DOGE douchebags in their rampage are breaking and entering into private buildings?

Arrest them and..

Lock them up!

Better yet ...

Deport them!

The nonprofit says it was created by Congress in 1984 as an "independent nonprofit corporation," and it does not meet U.S. Code definitions of "government corporation," "government-controlled corporation" or "independent establishment."

But gets it's funding directly from Congress...

Doesn't anything that gets funding get its funding from Congress?

Can you see it yet? A line is being drawn, my fellow Americans. Choose wisely.

So if they get funding from Congress then why is the Presidents "plumbers " and hatchet men breaking and entering into a private building? It's none of his business.

Arrest them.

If you read the article, you would know they didn't break in.

"Chief of security Colin O'Brien said police on Monday helped DOGE members enter the building and that the private security team for the organization had its contract canceled."

"police on Monday helped DOGE members enter the building"

That sounds illegal. Which police? There's over fifty active police forces in the District of Columbia.

So I haz to read the "articles " now?

Why?

I can feel in my gut this wrong. Ain't that how we do it now? No justification needed no proof needed no receipts needed just how one feels right?

So I feel like we should arrest them.

Also there is this:

DOGE has broken into our building," the organization's CEO, George Moose, said...

G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt would've approved.

Because the police helped means they didn't break in? That is the logic right? Your average "police" officer doesn't understand basic constitutional rights so them helping makes it not a break in? What agency are they with again - these "police" that is? Was there a court order authorizing their entrance?

13. That's pretty weak.

The contest will eventually be, Who will be the last Trumper to admit they were wrong?

Like the Japanese pilot who lived in a cave for 30 years.

Like the Biden supporter, who lives in a bubble, and can't bring themselves to admit Biden was mentally incapable of being President
Or those that declared inflation was "transitory".
