Ever so exhausted by hearing, "They can't/won't do that! It's illegal!" while the regime is literally doing that thing.

Read this very carefully. A man who emigrated to the US as a child, as a WWII refugee, has been taken by ICE for being in the country "illegally."
In no world, never mind in a country that claims to support the rights of individuals, should that sort of thing happen.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

He's sheer evil, but it's uncanny how much his speech patterns remind me of my AuDHD kid when he was around 3. It's just an endless flow of sentence fragments, tangents, barely connected thoughts, and repeated returning to a subject of obsession. There are dashes and parentheses all over the place.
Trump: "They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven. You want to wash your hands, or like me, you wash your hair. I lather up. There's no water.

This utter dipshit. Prices are high in part because ports were closed to feeder cattle from Mexico because of screwworm, which is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he’s saying. Also because slaughterhouses have lost many workers, tariffs on imported beef, feed prices going up, etc etc it’s a rich tapestry.

1/6 Democrats need to be more inclusive, especially with voters.
But inclusivity does not mean whitewashing far-right pro-Russian conspiracy theorists like Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She is not backstabbing Trump to help Democrats but to help Vance, Musk and Thiel, who are worse
