The sense I got of Trump was that, while most people would feel bad ripping people off, and some people aren’t bothered by it, Trump is actively motivated by ripping people off. But it’s more about “winning” than “hating.” Miller acts like he thinks 1930s era Nazis had it figured out.

I’d imagine the food issue is more logistics than anything. Once you have that large of an operation it can be easier to have catering to deal with meals. Especially in an area hosting an event like the Olympics.

The constitutional remedy for a government that conspired in secret to systematically violate the Fourth Amendment is impeachment of all officials involved, removal, disqualification, and criminal prosecution.

Op-Ed in the National Catholic Reporter is not pulling any punches. “The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith”

Vance knows. He doesn't care. Vance's twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity has been repudiated by two popes. His Catholicism seems to be little more than a political prop, a tool only for his career ambitions and desire for power.
The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith, His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel. Our only recourse is to pray for his conversion of heart.

I had a media professor, around 2002, who was convinced that the “democratization of the media” would allow hate groups to rebrand and gain popularity. I think about that a lot these days.

Younger people will be shocked to hear this, but way back when I grew up, anytime you saw a movie where some government official stopped someone on the street and demanded to see their identification papers, that was supposed to let you know they were the *bad* guys.

Now Stephen Miller is talking constitutional rubbish about a supposed presidential power to suspend habeas corpus to get back at federal courts that displease Trump too much. But only Congress has suspension power — and then only when “public safety requires it” in times of “invasion or rebellion.”
