BASH: Was this really about trying to make an example out of somebody who the president has sparred with?
BLANCHE: I don't even know that the president even ever thought about Don Lemon
BASH: The White House's official twitter celebrated his arrest. Just yesterday Trump called him a 'sleazebag'

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Trump cover up.
This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Unfit to lead a garbage truck.
Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

As long as I live I will never get over the fact the the trump administration murdered Alex in my state. Alex deserved so much better.
He was too good for us.

Wow. He's really got his finger on the pulse of America right now.
Trump on Omar: "She's always talking about 'the Constitution provides me w/ the following.' She comes from a country that's a disaster. It's not even a country. They're good at one thing - pirates. But they don't do that anymore bc they get same treatment from us as the drug dealers. Boom Boom Boom"

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”
