Okay, we’re now fully a police state. I don’t know what to tell you. All the enforcement agencies seem prepared to take whatever leeway the administration grants them.

The xenophobia that is fueling the current reign of terror on foreign residents isn’t just immoral and illegal, it’s canceling the demographic advantage we hold over other industrialized countries. Americans are not replacing themselves enough to maintain our economy. We actually need immigration.

The viewers of Fox are clearly unaware of the breathtaking corruption that’s going on around this presidency. If they could tear themselves away from that dishonest outlet, might they actually feel a twinge of disapproval?

Gotta congratulate Vlad Putin on his choice of a US mole. He couldn’t have done more damage if he’d declared war.

Much as I mistrust military junta coups d’etat, is the Pentagon our last hope if Trump circumvents the judiciary?

Well, the data theft from NLRB explains that there are people smarter than the low-IQ agent orange - likely Russians - behind the coup. This plan is clever and deadly.

Just heard NATO chief Rutte say that it’s Zelensky’s duty to make it up with Trump, saying that Trump’s supply of Javelins was a key aspect of the country’s defense against Russia. He must not have watched the meeting in the Oval.
