Donald Trump is just a symptom of our national disease. We have to--and we can--change the system that coughed him up.

The thing I keep thinking about with this episode is that these horrible things are only possible because Donald Trump wants to do them. But they’re only happening because so many powerful people want him to do them.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

It doesn’t take a trained ear to hear the deflections. Homan does not deny taking a bag of money. The public deserves answers.
WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it?

HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal.

WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag?

HOMAN: I'm not addressing it

WELKER: But did you keep the money?

HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

Budget for DHS exploded nearly 200 days ago. How long does it take to order body cams?

Does DHS not have Amazon Prime?
DOOCY: He's got an iPhone in one hand and a gun in the other. Why not body cam?

ICE DIRECTOR TODD LYONS: We're still in the process of deploying body cams for all law enforcement officers. Unfortunately under the last administration we didn't have the funding.

She shoots dogs. Roll the tape and asked at what frame SHE would have out a bullet in Rene Good's head.
TAPPER: You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist." Why did you not wait for an investigation?

NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.

T: What you said is not what happened

N: It absolutely is what happened

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

Community members in Minneapolis surround ICE agents as they conduct a "citizenship test" on a brown-skinned man pumping gas at a gas station, ultimately forcing the agents back into their cars.

“The alarm was warranted. Everyone on the scene had witnessed the crossing of a crucial line in Donald Trump’s mass-deportation project: ICE had just killed an American citizen on American soil”

And I plan to keep relentlessly making the case for Trump's removal either through impeachment or the Twenty-Fifth Amendment.

In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over.

Even today, he's still only going to get worse.

I had a few thoughts on this question in 2019 and wrote this 11,000+ word piece about Donald Trump's serious psychiatric disorders to explain why, as a legal and constitutional matter, he was unfit for the presidency and would only become more so with the passage of time. ...

She smiled at the officer. So he shot her in the face. And then called her "a fucking bitch."
Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good.
