With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

Therme should open their stupid spa here instead. The animals could be sent to places that actually care about them. Therme could build on a site already has plumbing and parking and visitors. Oh my!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Donald Trump didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th.
Yet he called them in to LA without a request from officials in California.
He pardoned people who smeared bodily fluids on our Capitol and beat cops, calling them “patriots.”
His hypocrisy is nauseating.

Hey #ottawa citizens:
Just a fun thought....
Why not pick up a few moving boxes and go drop them off on the lawn of Stornoway?
They won't move, but it would sure as hell be funny if random citizens started piling up boxes for them to move.
Get that story in the papers every day!
