"Oh, you want to abolish ICE? Well, if they're gone, who's going to be terrorizing our cities and killing people in the streets? Huh? Did you think about that?"

If you made software not intended to kill everyone and now you think it might kill everyone that sounds like a product liability issue. You should go fix it and stop bothering me

This is the founder of Silk Road – which enabled international drugs trafficking on an industrial scale, among other things – speaking at President Trump's midterm convention (after getting a pardon from him), because lol nothing matters.

Jason Arday was hounded to his death because some of the media didn't believe his account of his past. Now Donald Trump brazenly lies about his past, and the same media says nothing. Here's Michael Gove, editor of the Spectator, which is still attacking Arday. I bet they say nothing about Trump.

Why does Susan Collins refuse to appear at any events with Trump or Vance? Isn’t she proud of her party’s president and VP, whose agenda she has supported completely on every single meaningful vote? Why is Susan hiding from her party leaders?

Donald Trump is so stupid he thinks signing an Executive Order is like signing a law that affects all Americans. It is not. An Executive Order is basically a press release to the public. Executive Orders affect only federal agencies (until voided by Congress or the courts), but not the public.

Smart to do this. It keeps the story in the mind of the public either way. If he won’t release it, he’s hiding something and it stays in the news. If he does release it and it’s true, that’s very damaging. Video: bsky.app/profile/atru...
