Just some guy trying to make sense of the United States of are you fucking kidding meeeeee?!?!?!?!
While an undocumented immigrant MAY end up committing a violent crime, the odds are much, much higher for already convicted criminals.

1500+ reckless pardons of people trump couldn’t care less less about, all for a story to “flood the zone with shit” and we end up with results like this.

The Jan. 6 defendant who drunkenly drove the wrong way down a highway and hit a woman, killing her and making her body so unrecognizable she had to be identified by her nail polish is going to prison.

ABC/NBC/CBS local news last night, not one word about Trump or D.C. on any of them. NBC and ABC ended their newscast at the normal time, the CBS affiliate kept covering a fire burning the next block over from their studio until halfway through Colbert.

The CBS affiliate is owned by Sinclair.

President Trump urged the Washington Commanders to revert to their former name and threatened to derail a deal for the NFL team to build a new stadium in Washington, D.C., if it didn’t submit to his demand.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol. Those lists include some 1,400 names.

None of the names of the 230+ Venezuelan deportees the Trump administration sent to CECOT matched those on the lists.

Trying to cover their tracks. 2024 was actually stolen and for the last six months, we have been without a legitimate government.

Everything needs to be reversed, post-regime.
The DOJ has quietly contacted at least a dozen states demanding voter rolls, 2024 election records, even info‐sharing agreements. Voting rights experts warn these “deeply troubling” requests could be federal overreach under Trump’s executive order.

Conservatism is a cancer that will kill us all. Never let them forget they did this. All the election interference and vote counting machine hacking matters, but none of this would be possible without conservatives going along with it to advance their agenda of hate and fear.
Within the first 7 months, Trump has managed to add trillions to the deficit, eviscerate agencies, rattle the economy, shake our strongest alliances, build concentration camps for his deportation program, and strip popular social programs like Medicaid from millions.
