The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

Immigration is being used as a proxy for race.
Notice how they are desperate to encourage white immigrants from South Africa.
Also, they realized that immigration hysteria was a convenient political cudgel.
Like using the word “woke”.
Vague enough to apply to whatever the listener dislikes.

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

I ended up waiting 3 hours until they closed, and they wouldn’t give me two different cars that came in because they would have been upgrades (I have guaranteed free upgrades as part of my “Presidential Circle” tier btw).

MAGA like to say there's no evidence implicating Trump in sexual crimes with Epstein. That's a lie. There is direct evidence, like this affidavit from a civil case that was dismissed when the girl got death threats against her.
Trump can attack the credibility of the accusations, but they exist.

The blatant selling of pardons is perhaps the clearest instance of criminal conduct authorized by SCOTUS. Pardons are a quintessential "official act." So, even when Trump takes a bribe to issue one, he is presumably above the criminal law.
