Rage, my fellow Americans, rage against the dying of the light!
While I appreciate intellectuals' efforts to understand this nightmare, maybe he's just a lying, cheating, spoiled SOB who needed his ass kicked several more times than it ever was in his gilded youth. The GOP loves him because he's a bigot.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Republicans, have you no shame?

When an FBI agent took steps to investigate the death of Renee Good, he was shut down by Bondi. The agent resigned. I worry that today's killing may not be subject to a competent investigation either.

I watched what happened. I believe what I saw was ANOTHER murder by masked federal agents.

This one came to mind today with another Gestapo killing in America. Not quite a year since he said this.

His tyrannical behavior gives the world a lot to think about besides the near certainty that he sexually assaulted children.

BRENNAN: Tell me about the officer, Jonathan Ross

KRISTI NOEM: Don't say his name! I mean, for heaven's sake, we shouldn't have people continue to dox law enforcement

BRENNAN: His name is public

NOEM: I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said
