This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.

We train police to de-escalate, to avoid using force whenever possible. Without that training, you’re unleashing thugs on a civilian population.

I see that Ghislaine Maxwell says that Jeffrey Epstein's pal Donald Trump always behaved as a "gentleman." Perhaps. But I'd note that in my experience prisoners always say nice things about those who have the capacity to grant the clemency.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.
Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Genuine question: has there ever been a figure like Stephen Miller in US history?
Ie: a Presidential aide with this much (apparent) power in the WH?
I have read credible stories about him controlling policy at DOJ, DOD, and of course DHS.
He’s like a Grand Vizier.
