Q: Do you have any reaction to a US ambassador asking someone to pay off debt in exchange for access to other government officials? VANCE: Well, so -- with that hypothetical, obviously I don't love that, but I, you know, I don't know exactly who you're talking about, I don't know the full details

Who could’ve have foreseen Kim Guilfoyle would go on a grifting and crime spree after Trump named her as Ambassador to Greece to get her out of the country after Junior hooked up with a younger woman?

Do you know what's more dangerous than an
undocumented immigrant in America who gets up at 4am to go to work?
A sitting president who casually mentions we should just let a foreign power obliterate two
American cities filled with millions of people all because he doesn't like how they tend to vote.

(1) Susan Collins looks ancient in this debate (2) Basically Collins wants a cookie for getting Trump to withhold part of his absurdly unconstitutional tariffs, when senators should be fighting to end them all: congress, not the president, controls taxation.

When they lied about policy or statistics repeatedly or tried to shift blame elsewhere they fooled a lot of gullible people. But when they started lying about things that even the cult knows more about than these out of touch weirdos, that’s when they lost the plot.

Trump has such contempt for the voters of South Carolina that he elevated someone utterly unqualified for senate who knows absolutely nothing about anything connected to the job who reads scripts given to her by MAGA handlers while calling the qualified Democrat names and slurs.

I would like to believe that these batshit crazy Trump rallies are hurting Republican candidates in the midterms, but it’s extremely rare for any broadcast network or local news to cover and air his craziest and most repulsive statements so they might not matter much.

Maybe if Trump could speak coherently and stop trying to justify his Iran War that raised prices on thousands of things for Americans with apocalyptic fear mongering and garbled syntax he wouldn’t have to worry about being misinterpreted or taken out of context.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.
