"He is not here to help. He’s distant, angry, a figure of nothing but venom & vengeance. He walks toward the viewer like a serial killer stalking his prey, his face a mask of contempt & barely-contained rage. His visage in this ad is glowering, almost a parody of a dictator trying to inspire terror"

A third aircraft carrier and a second Marine division has now been sent toward Iran, the WSJ is reporting. Looks like Trump wants to empty those stockpiles completely.

it didn't even occur to me that the government might try to execute someone a second time if they torture the person but fail to kill them during a first botched attempt. truly grotesque and a moral stain upon all involved.

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.

Jesse Watters bragged about being invited to the state dinner for China's leader Xi Jinping. Of course Trump picked anchors from his personal propaganda network to fawn over a dictator who throws pro-Democracy activists and Muslim minorities in prison and reeducation camps.

Lacking all self-awareness Jesse Watters complained that sometimes 'journalists have an agenda.' Watters once said his five-year-old son was nine years old. He also once called Taylor Swift a Defense Dept. psyop. He often implies the 2020 election was rigged.
