We’ve collectively forgotten more Trump scandals in the past eight years than we remember. It’s like Lucy in the candy factory; no matter how hard we try to keep up, they came too fast.

Just returned from watching for ICE and showing support outside a local mosque. It’s heartbreaking to hear from our neighbors, who’ve lived here for decades, be afraid for their lives and families. Please make sure you and your neighbors, coworkers, etc. know their rights and how to deal with ICE.

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

Taking personal responsibility for any of it is beyond them; they continue to vote for the party that caused their problems in the first place.

Here's what I wish people understood: Trump supporters in poorer areas are generally the wealthy people in those areas -- the people who have kept their neighbors poor.
The tribune of the poor, the downtrodden? Studies clearly indicate that Trump’s most ardent supporters, especially in poorer areas, are, by local standards, quite wealthy / financially stable. Economic anxieties are mostly downstream from anxieties over racial and cultural status.

So now the Office of Legal Counsel is relying on the word of a President who was caught lying over 30,000 times in his first term.
Awful: Trump's boat bombings are now being justified by a new legal memo that relies on WH's own determinations as evidence. Memo also says people can't be prosecuted for the killings. But that reveals WH knows there's legal vulnerability here, Ds tell me.
