An impulsive liar very obviously lied again and we’re going full CSI on his signature like he hasn’t been impulsively lying for literally decades.

It’s super-important folks understand how literally true this is. A huge part of the appeal of Republican fascism to the MAGAts who support them is precisely that it gives them blatant permission to be corrupt, to be their worst self.
That’s why the corruption doesn’t upset them, they aspire to it.

Corruption is the brand
NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.
She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The American media wants war and likes Trump and will pretend like its 80-20 the other way in all their coverage
REMINDERS:
- Americans opposing bombing Iran outnumber warmongers by a margin of 20% (45-25)
- ONLY 25% of Americans support airstrikes against Iran at this time.

Something I’d note is that while there is criminal immunity for “official acts” for the president, no such immunity exists for the deputy chief of staff.
the takeaway from this is that, for all practical purposes, stephen miller is the acting president of the united states. trump is just play-acting as the boss, as he did on the Apprentice. (gift link)

Stephen Miller’s Fingerprints Are on Everything in Trump’s Second Term
The president ’s deputy chief of staff has played an outsize role in immigration—and amassed more power than almost anyone else at the White House.

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.
