American ‘Psycho,’ Fascist Dork: Inside Stephen Miller’s War of Terror
The world’s most powerful unelected bureaucrat is leading Trump’s wars on immigrants, civilians, the law, and human decency. It doesn’t matter that he’s made Trump historically unpopular.

Vance specializes in lead balloons. Only Spiro Agnew in the past 50 years had a worse personality. And he went to prison.

Trump just made a deal with Putin. He’s going to buy Russian oil instead of ours. And these Alberta idiots think they want to be American.Trump will take all he can from Alberta and leave them for dead 💀 ~ Never 51 (FB)

Donald Trump’s plan to buy diesel and gas from Russia is just as insane roar as his plan from the Treason Summit in Helsinki to turn over America’s cyber defenses to Putin. He’s the first American President to be a vassal of another country’s dictator.

The deal doesn’t just align the United States against Ukraine, it positions us in opposition to every democratic government on the planet, to every institution of international law, and our own commitments and signed agreements. It is abominable.

Trump announces diesel deal with Russia in bid to lower prices
The amount is small compared with U.S. demand, but the deal aligns the U.S. with Russia and against Ukraine’s efforts to bomb Russian refineries.

ICE's recruitment of thugs, paper thin training, and absence of discipline produced this violence. A massive demonstration in front of 26 Fed Plaza needs to happen. The endangerment of the child is criminal, and typical of ICE.

Why is Trump speaking in a state and place where he and his party have no hope of winning any election, from dog catcher up to govet? Repeatedly playing a game that you know you can't win is one of the signs of psychopathy.

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.

It's now foreseeable that an execution will result in extreme pain and disfigurement. It's barbaric and serves no legitimate purpose under law as applied. Legal challenges can build on the facts of botched state killings to declare the death penalty unconstitutional.
