IT WAS A SPECTACULAR POOP! IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME POOP EVER WITNESSED. I HAD MEN COME UP TO ME AFTERWARDS WITH TEARS IN THEIR EYES TO SAY "SIR, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS IMPORTANT MOVEMENT WITH US. BUT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CUT BACK ON THE CABBAGE."

Q: Why/how has Bannon avoided blowback for his chummy ties with Epstein?

Is it that so many journalists, across the political spectrum, value him as a source?

Someone please enlighten me!

“We need to get better at treating this like a business…like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.” — ICE director Todd Lyons, April 2025
The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago

If you've been around for a while, you know that one of my incremental positions is that any law enforcement official that fires a gun is automatically done with that job. Doesn't matter why you fired it, you only get to do it once, then you have to go get a real job

At this point, it's not hard to imagine that Miller and Trump would be stupid enough to refuse entry to or even deport World Cup players after they're already here. Imagine the tantrum Trump would have if FIFA withdrew their "Peace Prize" over that.

This is what Donald Trump and the Republican Party have turned American into.
"Classes have been called off in the Columbia Heights school district today due to what officials are calling a bomb threat. The closure comes as 5-year-old preschool student Liam Conejo Ramos & his father from Columbia Heights were released from an ICE detention center in Texas and returned to MN."

A low hanging fruit idea for Democrats: champion creating a new federal law enforcement agency dedicated to stopping child sex abuse. Call it the Terminate Rape of Underage Minors Protection act or TRUMP act

If that’s real, it should be the end. How can this just be ignored?

I saw this several minutes ago, but still can't process that Trump toadies Rick Scott and Ashley Moody voted no.
The massive government funding package just failed badly in the Senate, 45-55.

Needed 60.

Zero Democrats voted for it.

SEVEN Republicans opposed it:

Budd
Johnson
Lee
Paul
Moody
Rick Scott
Tuberville

(John Thune switched his vote to no for procedural reasons.)

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

How much cash needs to be in the Cava bag this time for it to amount to “cooperation”?
Homan: "The withdrawal of law enforcement resources here is dependent upon cooperation ... as we see that cooperation happen, then the redeployment will happen"

So Homan is delivering his threats wearing a business suit instead of a Nazi SS cosplay costume. Otherwise, it’s the same old shit.
