So, according to the Supreme Court, you can’t use race in college admissions, but you can use it snatch people off the streets. Not exactly that “color blind society” excuse they used to kneecap the Voting Rights Act. #fascism #racism

Whodathunkit that Bolton would beat the stopped clock and be right three times a day instead of two. When someone as fascist as Bolton says Trump is a problem, it’s worse that anyone could imagine. Now Patel is going after him for being (in his own twisted way) loyal to the country instead of Trump.
