Since Bovino surely has absolutely no idea what he is talking about, we need to get someone to feed him a giant pile of elephant crap and tell him it’s like stewed wolverine or something so he eats it all and says it’s delicious.
For anyone wondering what Greg Bovino has been up to lately…

“We simply have redefined due process to mean ‘summary execution if you don’t agree with us’ thank you, no questions at this time.”
Homan: "ICE is a legitimate federal law enforcement agency. We're not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process."

Update: FAMU says banning the word Black from a law student’s Black History Month flyer was a mistake, and the result of an “overly cautious interpretation” of Florida law

We’ve run over 1,000 simulations and in each one of them Tim Walz gave kids free lunches at school and you screamed and shat your pants bc you thought poor kids should instead acquire a work ethic by starving.
Rollins: "School lunches are next. A lot of schools don't even have an oven anymore. When I was growing up, lunch ladies were back there cooking meals on stoves. So how do we completely and fundamentally change the system to go back to where we're serving healthy whole foods to these kiddos?"

There really are no words for how idiotic this is. It sounds like hyperbole but an average 12 year old understands more about the economy than this shithead. And he IS stupid, but that’s not the main issue here IMO. It’s that he simply DOES. NOT. CARE. about facts. Bc his voters don’t either.
TRUMP: We can grow at 15 percent. I think more than that!
KUDLOW: Well, 15 is a big number sir
TRUMP: But Larry, you can do it. We used to grow at 15 percent because we had spirit. Today we have a lot of communism

The purpose is to disincentivize investments in vaccine development
NEW: The F.D.A. refused to accept an application from Moderna for its mRNA flu vaccine.
Its reason: The agency did not think Moderna compared the new vaccine to one of the best flu shots available. The company spent $750M+ on a 41,000 person study.

A lot of dumbasses on social media seem to think that it somehow follows from the fact that elected/appointed democrats have agency and many deserve considerable blame for doing bad or dumb things in office that voters *don’t* have any agency. Incorrect, comrade Collins.

The core of Trumpism is hatred. But whereas Trump hates basically everyone, in a totally unfocused way, the kind of fucking idiot interviewed in these NYT stories hates a more specific set of people. The problem is that it’s worth it to them to hurt millions others, to get to hurt those they hate.
These people are just crazy. Trump gets up and says "MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS MASS DEPORTATIONS" and they're like "he probably means a path to legal status for deserving immigrants"

A five year old US citizen is not hurt by a five year old refugee's existence.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Trump negotiators don’t approach Russia-Ukraine talks as “if we can get Russia to stop attacking, then there will be peace.” They approach it as “if we can get Ukraine to surrender, then we can make a lot of money.”
⚡️Zelensky says Russia presented $12 trillion economic plan to US, called 'Dmitriev package.'
President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a proposed framework for large-scale U.S.-Russia economic cooperation.

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy.
