@malquoted.bsky.social it's impossible to understand the level of intellectual corruption of people in the Trump orbit. Vance knows better and yet.

@malquoted.bsky.social it has been most curious about the lack of ICE raids in Texas and Florida
Pew Research Institute (2023):
• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

@malquoted.bsky.social quite correct observations however the same logic can be, and is used by vaccines skeptics, flat earthers, moon landing deniers, and other crack pots. The difference between the two sides is one uses objective scientific findings to support their views, the other does not.
History belongs to the people willing to look foolish long enough for the world to catch up.

President Donald Trump claimed Thursday that he has issued a “full pardon” to Tina Peters — the Colorado election denier serving a nine-year state sentence — even though presidents have no constitutional authority to pardon state-level crimes. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A hard lesson I have learned as well
I have an announcement.
I have, like a real man, recaulked and resealed my shower.
I will never, ever do this again, and the next time I will pay a plumber or handyman, even if it has to be in gold bullion, to do it.

@malquoted.bsky.social The corruption is becoming so overwhelming I have not seen this news until now
This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.
