MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.
The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

The main issue that bothers me about immigrants working in this country is that we continue to support a two-tier system of wages that creates an underpaid foreign underclass because we don’t force corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share into our economy

The argument against protestors is DARVO
The logic that enables abuse also enables authoritarianism.

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.
I mean, Jesus Christ, can you people even *hear* yourself?
