Trump’s proposed triumphal arch would obscure the Lincoln Memorial & perfectly frame Arlington House owned by Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The arch does not frame the nation’s honored dead, but frames instead the home of the man who led the armies of the Confederacy that killed them.

Amazon founder and owner/destroyer of the Washington Post, Jeff Bezos must be a shameless sycophant and an ignoramus if he thinks Trump is more “mature” than he was in his first term.

“In the most brazen act of presidential corruption this century, President Donald J. Trump has created a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to finance the insurrectionists and paramilitary groups that commit violence in his name.”

That is how Steve Bannon described Donald Trump's deployment of ICE agents to the nation's airports. "We can use this as a test run, as a test case, to really perfect ICE's involvement in the 2026 midterms," he told right-wing lawyer Mike Davis during his War Room podcast.

Donald Trump is obsessed with the midterms and will do whatever he needs to prevent losing control of Congress. Given his unpopularity, that likely means mass voter suppression, election subversion and outright election theft.

In the the murder of Renee Good, the shooter & his protectors are so isolated in an authoritarian bubble they can't see how regular Americans would react to the video of a woman smiling at a masked agent only to have him shoot her in the face & then spit out “F*cking bitch” after he killed her.
