Trump's White House hates Americans so much they put their "paid for by the U.S. government" disclaimers right over images of Trump in the corrupt and illegal political ads they made with taxpayer money

What kind of scandal will it take to lead to the widespread elimination of Greek fraternities? Hazing so severe it results in serious maiming or death? It's happened. Absolutely hideous sexual assaults? It's happened. Terroristic actions in pursuit of campus political power? It's happened!

Perhaps now would be a good time to recall that two people were killed as crews rushed to finish the Trump SoHo before anyone noticed they were exceeding the already ill-gotten, oversized height limit by at least four stories.

SCOTUS just agreed that Trump is *irreparably harmed* by not being able to disappear folks without a hearing to places like South Sudan, even though they’re already locked up & argument is in a couple months. A friendly bonus scoop of cruelty, from the Justices to their favorite little boy.

The underlying theory Senate Republicans are going with is that Joe Biden secretly ordered DOJ to investigate Trump, something they have produced no evidence to support and also they're all fine with Trump publicly ordering DOJ to investigate his enemies.

I don't love dunking on folks but it's so fucking funny to me that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies 2 years ago, faced no punishment, and went on to win the presidency a second time and journalists are still like, "hmm, I have an inkling that maybe he believes he's above the law for some reason."

Post from NYT reporter Eric Lipton

"What an odd moment in United States history.

A U.S. president is running an overtly political campaign advertisement, right before midterm elections, paid for by the U.S. government.

Trump appears to believe he is immune from any kind of legal limit."

You know when public attention can reverse a prosecutorial decision like this you almost get the sense that the decision to shrug it off in the first place was not based on an assessment of the quality of the evidence so much as an assessment of the seriousness of the crime.

OK, Washington Post, enlighten me. What is the bright side of being a Nazi?

Washington Post headline and subhead: "She helped lead a far-right internet movement. Then it turned on her. Inspired by female conservative influencers, Amy Dangerfield worked to become one of Nick Fuentes’s model 'groypettes.' A vicious fight left her grappling with the dark side of far-right fame."
