the funny part is after millennia of calling jews christ killers they're all straight up like yeah of course we'd kill christ, he's using all your medicaid
If Mary (the mother of Jesus in the biblical myth) were to show up pregnant and about to give birth at a modern Christian's door, would they be more likely to shoot her and use the "stand your ground" defense or would they call ICE?

Thoughts?

Mr. President, is it you or your dusty little gnome who is sending in troops to provoke riots? The gnome said it was him.
His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

So the most immediate consequence of this is effectively torching American farmers who will go bankrupt because China will never buy soybeans from them again. Trump torturing Trump voters in ways his greatest haters could never imagine.

He can bail them out this year, but their future is gone—the punishment the Trumps deserve, but their supporters get it instead. That's how it always works.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Don't feel stupid, but also, if someone helpfully tells you "that's fake," the correct response is "oh shit, let me delete this" not doubling down and disabling comments.
Don’t feel stupid if you fell for fake video. It can be really hard to tell these days. But we do have to try and be careful with what we share because there’s so much AI video out there.

It’s just the world we live in now.

The sickness of this regime accusing anyone of antisemitism while shoveling billions to ELON MUSK, the greatest popularizer of Nazism since Hitler, is a failure of sense, dignity and everything that should make us human.
X is doing nothing about antisemitic abuse & hatred in the last week. (It is a breach of its legal duties to fail to offer an equal service to those with a protected characteristic, if the regulators want to do their job of keeping it within the law)

Emil Bove's confirmation was only possible because Democrats caved to a vile right-wing smear campaign of Adeel Mangi, who would have been the first Muslim appeals court judge, when Biden nominated him for the same seat last year. Absolutely disgraceful. Bove's confirmation is on them, too.

Let's not forget that this seat was vacant because Islamaphobic Democrats wouldn't let Biden's appointee be confirmed. And Schumer let the clock run out.
Bove himself is a literal criminal. A man whose short time in the public eye is defined by his open contempt for the law and those responsible for enforcing it. And the only reason he was nominated is because of his slavish devotion to the president’s most lawless impulses.
