Rob Reiner was right about Trump. He never backed down from opposing him for an instant. And he was right to do so.
Everyone with a heart and a conscience should hold that same tenacious position. They should fervently push back against this madness with every fiber of their being.

I have never said it would. The far right is strong, and it will remain so. Its problem is that no one has the con. It is a mess of factions, charlatans, score settling, and the like. By no means does that guarantee defeat, but it can be exploited.
The problem is, Mr. President, they will nominate Tucker & Candace to replace him. The fever will never break.

The lawless killing spree continues.
The administration justifies this slaughter by claiming there’s an armed conflict.
But it won’t even tell the U.S. public who the supposed enemies are.
Of course, there’s no armed conflict.
And outside armed conflict, we call premeditated killing murder.

1/6 On December 15, 2025, President Trump signed an EO labeling fentanyl a WMD, but the EO is not really an assertion that fentanyl functions like a WMD. It is an instrumental choice.
