Border security is supposedly Trump’s top priority. “Secure the border,” right? So why is he stealing $20 MILLION in border security funds to produce his bullshit propaganda?

Jack Smith ROASTED the Republicans today, not once raising his voice, or slinging insults, or being dramatic. Not even when Sen Eric Schmitt called him a DIRTBAG. He did it by being calm, level-headed, and quietly stating the TRUTH. Jack Smith is a winner🤗 Donald Trump is a LOSER🤨

Katie Britt annoys the shit out of me. She called toll records “tolling records”. She says “Artic” instead of “Arctic”. She calls the speech or debate clause the “speech and debate clause.” She accuses Smith of illegal evidence when no judge found that. And she went over her time.

Another way of making this point: The wheels may be coming off the Trump administration and the authoritarian movement energizing it. But a large tractor-trailer barreling down a highway at full speed whose wheels come loose is very dangerous to innocent people in the vicinity.

The same people who's mantra was "back the blue" immediately pivoted to "back the blue...except the ones trying to stop an insurrection at the Capitol, fuck those guys." This was the moment that confirmed that MAGA is a cult, choosing violent criminals over police officers. All for their leader.
