Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The Trump family lost more than a billion decline in their collective wealth. Parallel losses hit retail traders who viewed Trump-linked assets as political statements as well as investment vehicles.

This guy was of course patient zero of the massive Silicon Valley crying protest to get their pet bank bailed out, and seems to have spent the last two years on podcasts wondering why people don't like tech investors as much as they used to.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

EU car exports to China are in freefall. For a time, the North American market offered Europe’s carmakers an important offset from the China shock. But this cushion is now vanishing due to US protectionism.

The sentencing for attacking Gardaí during the Dublin riots was too lenient. This cannot become a pattern.
A Garda van has been set on fire at a large protest outside an asylum seeker accommodation centre in west Dublin.
Anti-immigration groups and fringe far-right political parties had been promoting the protest earlier today.
