"In November McGregor was ordered by an Irish civil court to pay nearly €250,000 (£210,000) in damages to a woman who said he “brutally raped and battered” her in a hotel in Dublin in 2018."

Naturally, the White House considered him an appropriate guest.

2. President Trump’s children all had six months of Secret Service protection after their father left office in January 2021.

Hunter Biden’s wife is South African, which is why he has been visiting there.

1. BREAKING

President Trump says he is stripping Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden of their U.S. Secret Service details.

It is standard for the adult children of U.S. presidents to have their details extended for six months after their parent is no longer president.

If Netanyahu died would anyone who attended his funeral be deported? Of course not. A lot of MAGAs would attend. Netanyahu has committed war crimes. But in the black and white MAGA world, he's the good guy.

A group of people embracing the term “antifa” was one of the stupidest self-owns of the past decade
Blame American education for not teaching all the nuances between "Authoritarian " and "Fascist"? When Trump decried "antifa" it was very telling to me - once I learned what it meant. only a fascist would want to suppress Anti-fascists!

Universities are in an impossible position: defend core values OR comply with the new policies. It's really important for university presidents to acknowledge that impossibility & get out, collectively, & speak out against what is an existential crisis. Pretending otherwise like this is not helpful.

lol what would be so bad if Black and Brown people were the majority? Why are you afraid of that? Did we steal your land? Your people? Your resources? Your money?

What reason do YOU have to fear of minorities being the majority? Wrestle with that fear and then go to therapy.

That is why they will upend the rule of law to protect white supremacy.
lol regardless of what they try to shut down, diversity is INEVITABLE. The world is Black and Brown and this country will too be majority minority.

One basis Trump gave for attacking Perkins Coie and Paul Weiss was their commitment to diversity.

Look what I found at the GOP's long-term law firm Jones Day.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.
