The answer is simple officer. A personal bribe to me always absolves an offender of the crimes I say I’m fighting. Look around officer. Propaganda doesn’t always help make the payments on all this gold leaf and paint.

Because, of course, what he said was true.

Really wild to see Trump march toward war with Venezuela without even going through the motions of manufacturing consent … he’s just like going to do it.

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Stephen Miller will also be charged in the International Court with crimes against humanity.
