J6 pipe bomber is a Trump supporter.
BREAKING on MS NOW:

The answer is yes.
The Heritage Foundation’s recent decision to hire Scott Yenor, a family-policy scholar, “poses serious questions about the institution’s beliefs concerning the equality of women in the workplace and perhaps even as citizens,” Henry Olsen argues:
Does Heritage Support Discrimination Against Women?
The organization’s recent hiring reveals a willingness to countenance views decisively outside the American mainstream.

Trump’s new security strategy.

In 3 years we can fix this…

🧵
1/ The new US National Security Strategy blames 'undemocratic' European governments for failing to make peace with Russia, takes a pro-Russian position on NATO, reflects white nationalist views on European demographics, and pledges overt support for far-right parties. ⬇️

An entire room full of powerful old white people smiling and laughing as the president dehumanizes black immigrants and the first black president.

Just fucking pathetic.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

Ag Sec Brooke Rollins gleefully proclaimed feeling "gratitude and joy” for stripping Americans in need off SNAP food assistance in Blue states today.

Trump admin won’t release SNAP funds to blue states until they release individual personal info about recipients.

Their depravity is endless.
More depravity from the demented one.

Trump admin to withhold SNAP food aid from Democrat-led states.

Over the holiday season.

A majority of federal tax dollars comes from blue states, under such circumstances, it would be prudent for blue states to withhold tax dollars to federal government.
The Trump administration said that it will move to withhold SNAP food aid from most Democratic-controlled states unless they provide recipient records.

Sabrina Carpenter ratios the White House.

Carpenter called out WH video using her song “Juno” for an ICE video as “evil and disgusting.”

WH responded with their standard rhetoric, refusing to apologize, and in standard Trump fashion, called her, “stupid, or is it slow.”

An official government account using the word “remigration” is not normal. It’s an imported term from European far-right movements that refers to mass expulsion. Democracies do not use population-purification language. #holdfast #SteadyState

How can you not know what part of the body you had an MRI on?

Thusly, is the result of the cognitive test.
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful:

1. Fake news, it didn’t happen.
2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened.
3. So it happened, so what.
4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]

The incompetence of the Trump administration is mind blowing.

They don’t expect anyone to question their decisions/actions, or lack there of, and to accept it by rote.

In 10 months, what has Trump actually done for the American people?
WELKER: His asylum was approved in April on Trump's watch. Was there a vetting process in place?

NOEM: The vetting process all happened under Biden

WELKER: Are you saying he wasn't vetted?

NOEM: Vetting happens when they come into the country and that was completely abandoned under Biden

Just because Trump was granted immunity by SCOTUS doesn’t mean he can extend that to anyone, right?

The Nuremberg trials reinforced that following orders doesn’t mean one isn’t responsible for their crimes committed — does Trump’s “memo” supersede this?

Why would he think so?
A presidential memo saying officers carrying out Caribbean boat strikes can’t be prosecuted is a confession the attacks are war crimes.

Virtually every lawyer across the political spectrum identifying them as blatant, unambiguous violations of the laws of armed combat is because they’re war crimes.
On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.

It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state. ...
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
