Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.

They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

Just like the Nazis stealing everything from the Jews. These iceholes are out of control.
In Los Angeles, California, a man’s father was abducted and kidnapped by ICE. While attempting to locate him using a GPS tracker in his car, they discovered that his stolen truck was being driven around by an ICE Bounty Hunter during his off-duty period from December 2nd to December 3rd.

Here we go -a few reminders to those covering this:

- These are killings outside of armed conflict
- There is no self-defense justification for the killings
- That makes them extrajudicial killings under int'l law; murder under domestic law
- No label ("narcoterrorist" or "DTO") changes any of that

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

CNN’s scumbag propagandist Jake Tapper defends the orange felon for falling asleep during his bullshit meetings, but he sure as hell had a lot to say about President Biden’s mental capabilities as well as attacking his age even though he was always awake during meetings.

This story sums up Trump: No need for evidence. No need for laws or treaties. No need for discussions. If Trump decides (based upon whatever random information or maybe just heartburn) that someone is in the wrong, he believes he has the right to kill them.

The US is now a rogue nation.

Lutnick demonstrates why he's called Nutlick: "The greatest cabinet ever for the greatest president ever. I can't be more proud of how you did it, sir. You created the greatest cabinet. It is a joy to be at this table."

Usually Trump wears 3-inch extended shoulder pads with his suits to hide his physical pear-shape & to give an illusion of strength.

Here with no shoulder pads & his actual 2-inch shoulders.

So much so that the seam for his shirt’s sleeve is drooped 2-3 inches below his shoulder’s edge.

Sad?

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Except what’s actually happening is once again, a gaggle of the gullible + grifting grievance entrepreneurs, is being weaponized in yet another destabilization op against 🇨🇦’s federal gov’t. #FluTruxKlan was one, this is another. US & Russian ops pumping both money & disinfo into Alberta. #cdnpoli

🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.

"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

For some reason, my brain switched to reading this in Stephen Miller's voice halfway through the first sentence.
There is seriously something wrong with this man.

Also, he is devoid of any joy. He is bitter and rotten to the core. This post proves it.

Basically a shit for brains.

This gets at the fundamentally flawed approach of the federal government: they are trying to find a policy solution to an identity problem.

It is part of the polarized, populist identity to be opposed to an Ottawa and Liberal Canada are not them. No policy will change that, as TMX revealed.

UCP convention crowd: LOUD BOOS
Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.

This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.
