Opinion | This moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans
Regarding Venezuela, Ukraine and much more, Trump and his acolytes are worse than simply incompetent.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Every ICE thug today gearing up to hunt brown people in the city of New Orleans can eat an entire sack of stale, unsalted dicks. They and the administration they serve are displaying our fallen nation as an ungrateful, soulless shitpile of gutless, frightened race-hate. We are forever shamed.

if The US Military keeps this up, people are gonna think it’s the sort of military that would do something like My Lai, bombing Hospitals, or torturing prisoners

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.
One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

This lonely, terrible death haunts me. ICE thugs tied him up, and I feel sure that-because he was foreign and isolated-they jeered and bullied him.

Teen models, powerful men and private dinners: when Trump hosted Look of the Year
In the early 90s, Donald Trump judged contestants at the world’s biggest modelling competition - since hit by allegations of abuse. This is how the people who were there remember it

DHS: there has been an 8000% increase in death threats and a 1000% increase in assaults on ICE officials.
Maybe. DHS has increased arrests by more than 1000%.
But DHS won't release their data. When NPR looked at assault charges, they found a 25% increase.
