Russia can end the war today by leaving Ukraine.

This is really crucial in understanding today's right wing: it is an arena in which you can get attention, and become famous, without any skill or insight or knowledge. All you have to do is say outrageous shit.
So it's become a collection bin for all these failed, flailing narcissists.

Learned from the Posting Through It podcast just how many MAGA-era influencers turned to politics after failing at more glamorous pursuits — theater, comedy, fashion, TV, movies, music. Knowles, if I’m not mistaken, had dreams of Broadway.
Michael Knowles and the other Daily Wire chuds play act at being celebrities because it’s the thing they actually crave

Trump goons mistreat target who goes to court and gets a ruling against them showing they acted illegally. Trump goons then look their portfolio of legal tools to hurt the person they abused some more. It's perverse. And it's the way they act every day. Courts need to take note of this.
In the same way Abrego Garcia was, this 5-year-old is being singled out and punished for making the administration look bad just by existing as sympathetic case.
Just heard back from DHS on why they abruptly expedited Ramos' asylum hearing:
“These are regular removal proceedings. This is standard procedure and there is nothing retaliatory about enforcing the nation’s immigration laws. He will receive full due process."
(This is not standard procedure.)

It's even in the current release of Epstein files, a note that as a regular privileged customer, Trump "doesn't like black girls, and refers to them as [expletive]"
Trump's racism should be no surprise.
His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.
