Well, he will be reviled like Chief Justice Roger Taney, who wrote the Dred Scott decision, if not Benedict Arnold.

The effect of this is that if a first time homeowner gets a 30 year loan, they won’t have paid the loan off by the time they retire. This puts a strain on the homeowner’s finances when (and, increasingly, if) they retire.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Stone’s arrest was roundly criticized as “overkill.” FBI said they had a search warrant and an arrest warrant and therefore a larger SWAT team was necessary given that Stone had the means to flee. Bannon and Navarro gave press conferences on their way into prison! Kash is an ass.

Where are all of the MAGAts who said defunding USAID was important because, you know, “America First?” $20,000,000,000.00 to Argentina to prop up a failing government?!?!?

Does anyone believe that if the Epstein Files show that Donald Trump had sex with 14 year-old girls, it would make the MAGAs love him any less?

Wait a second … If Trump threw Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago when he found out what Epstein was up to, how could he have provided the FBI with any information about Epstein’s crimes as an “informant?”
