All of this right here All 43 of the GOP senators who could not bring themselves to vote to convict Trump after 1/6 should have that decision tied around their necks for all time

American politics is bananas. I can’t believe there is a whole generation growing up to think that it’s normal for known criminals to win party nominations and public office.

BREAKING Voice of America staffers say in a new lawsuit that the Trump admin and Kari Lake have “censored news coming out of Iran,” including “stories about anti-government protests” and opposition to the regime. They’ve sued over a breach of the statutorily-protected editorial firewall.
Among other things, the President has launched an undeclared war on the Islamic
Republic of Iran, ostensibly with the goal of encouraging opponents of the Iranian regime to rise up in counterrevolution. The Administration—acting through Defendants Michael Rigas, Kari Lake, and other political appointees at Defendant United States Agency for Global Media (“USAGM”), the federal agency that oversees VOA—has censored the news coming out of Iran: interviews, video footage, and stories about anti-government protests within Iran have been suppressed. Reporting on certain elements in opposition to the Iranian regime have been banned from VOA’s Persian Service, rendering untrustworthy a once-respected source of independent news about Iran

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

A not bad strategy is to just peter out during one of his rambles until the chamber is half empty. When you talk to the press just be like "I got really bored, he was always stupid but tonight he was super boring. Dementia maybe?" He'd be mad. Of course instead they're just kinda sittin' there.

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
