Hang your heads

January 27, 2026 by Guest Post 2 Comments

by Linda D. Schmitt, Corvallis

Republicans, hang your heads. You sent Trump toadies to Washington and they just passed a bill to bankroll the monsters Trump unleashed on US citizens and legal immigrants. Have you seen the pictures?  Those middle class, white, prosperous neighborhoods in Minnesota where ICE and Border Patrol thugs are breaking down front doors?  Going door to door, masked marauders frightening residents, dragging normal people to the ground, shoving their faces into the ice and snow? Have you seen the five year old boy used as bait and then detained? Five years old! Handcuffing innocent people, throwing them into squad cars and sowing fear across the city? Is this YOUR America?  

You elected Daines and Zinke and their sidekicks Sheehy and Downing to DC to enable Trump. You who pride yourselves on “freedom,” you who shout at Democrats because we see what is happening and have the temerity to protest, you who bury your heads in the sand while our real freedoms collapse.

Hang your heads. Take off your blinders and look at your hero, Donald Trump. See him for what he is. Get rid of him and his toadies. That is, if we get lucky enough to have 2026 elections. He is capable of declaring war so he can impose martial law in order to eliminate elections… as he presides over his ludicrous “Board of Peace.”  

Get real, Republicans. Stand up for freedom, finally.

    You have two paid agitators that violently interfered with law enforcement and where shot. Too bad their actions resulted in their deaths, but that was their own fault. Were you this broken up about all of the Americans killed by illegals? No! We now know how deep this paid for “so called protest” is and when you follow the money, it’s disgusting that you would be in support of this insurrection. Then, you have a father who abandoned his own son and fled and while ICE took care of his child; again, you are siding with the criminal. What is wrong with you people. When did you become the worst of our society showing your support for rapists, murderers and gang members. You disgust me.

    Linda – lets talk numbers shall we? https://www.coloradopolitics.com/2025/08/27/colorados-unauthorized-immigrant-population-jumps-by-40000-in-2-years-pew-reports/

    This was done under Biden!

    Let’s talk loss of independence in energy! https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2023/09/06/why_is_joe_biden_blocking_us_energy_development_977744.html

    That was done under Biden!
    Those are just two of the “achievements of Biden – and YOU COMPLAIN about TRUMP?

    How about loss of LIves in Afghanistan ? Biden botched the withdrawal from there. Speak out about that Linda!
