Here’s the thing: a President openly contemptuous of Congress & willing, unilaterally, to recklessly and illegally commit the US to wars of aggression is an existential threat to the Republic, *regardless* of whether he can ultimately explain his acts to Congress.

The demand must be impeachment.

I can’t believe we’re doing this awful, cruel, stupid, senseless nonsense, except I can totally believe we’re doing it.

Wow. Viktor GyΓΆkeres does like beating up on the lower teams, doesn’t he?

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

"tired of some of their admiration for [insert lefty or left-leaning political and cultural figure]" explains a solid three-quarters of the last decade of american politics

For the first time, white births in the U.S. have dropped below 50%.

This white nationalist administration saw this coming. That’s why Trump calls immigration an β€œinvasion” and believes diversity is a β€œthreat”.

I can't think of anything less patriotic than allowing a corrupt pedophile to suspend the constitution so he can murder citizens, enrich himself, and imprison journalists.

Correct. The architect is Stephen Miller.

The influence and style is white supremacist and neo-Nazi.

The end goal is fascism.

Stephen Miller made the same claims and this would be an *excellent* time for mainstream folks (papers, celebs, athletes) and Dems to demand his resignation as well. So consistently and loudly that the WH is forced to respond. Make him their liability.

I get the impulse from many to scream hypocrisy at the lionizing of people like Rittenhouse while smearing Renee Good and Alex Pretti, but Abbie Richards reminds us that…

Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Say their names.

Remember their names.

Two American citizens who were murdered in cold blood by ICE and are now being dehumanized by Republicans as "domestic terrorists for peacefully standing up for their neighbors.

"He had a gun" is just the latest MAGA variation of "we are allowed to kill you whenever we want."

Because they definitely think they're allowed to carry loaded weapons wherever they like.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

/2 The official policy of Trump supporters is that they support anything this government does.

Treat them accordingly.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

The GOP is consistent. When they said state’s rights they meant β€œwhite supremacyβ€œ and when they said β€œtyranny” they were mad about federal interference with white supremacy.

ICE is white supremacist, so they support it. They aren’t hypocritical on this.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

They all gotta go to prison.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

It’s like some weird fucking experiment to see how obvious you can make it before Americans have an β€œAre we the baddies?” moment, and a third of the population just cannot get there.

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)
