We need to get back to the founding principles that made this country great.
That’s why I support putting militarized troops in US cities and giving them the power to search anyone and enter any home at any time. And to rough up or possibly shoot anyone who objects.
Let’s do Boston next!

I very much agree with this. This isn’t careful planning. It’s not 3-D chess. It’s a bunch of really bad people trying to quickly do the really bad things they dream about because nobody ever hugged them or told them they were acting like a jackass.
The flopsweat desperation of an administration that can feel the walls closing in, just smashing and grabbing everything they can before the reckoning comes.
And it's coming in one form or another -- the Epstein Files, Trump's death spiral, maybe just the midterm elections. And they all know it.

I don't know about all of you, but I am finding it difficult to process Venezuela, Greenland, Minneapolis, and the Fed all at once.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

This is the core truth of the Trump Era -- this, and the pathological refusal of US elites to face up to & acknowledge it.
Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation.

It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.
Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

So much damage has been done by feckless elites saying, "Yes it's illegal but we should just give Trump the birthday boy this one little thing"
My crank opinion is that like 85% of the bad shit going on now would have been avoided if elites had held the line that it's the Gulf of Mexico.

Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."
