"Have some fun"...this is so unbelievably gross and tone-deaf. This response shows how non-serious they are about the Epstein files and the scale of abuse that went on. He is on quite a burner right now with similarly tone-deaf and gross statements on Alex Pretti. Makes me sick 🤮
She was asking a question about whether the Epstein survivors have received justice. But Vance wants her to “smile and have some fun” while asking the president a question about trafficking victims. bsky.app/profile/fact...
Vance: There was a moment in the Oval Office, I wasn't even in there, but Trump was talking to Kaitlan Collins. Trump says, 'Why don't you ever smile?' And it's actually, like, so perceptive. Have some fun.

I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

You don’t get to call this “law and order” while ICE raids occur near schools and houses of worship, violates court orders, and scares parents into guarding school doors. Even Republicans are saying it’s unacceptable. Enforce the law—but due process matters, and chaos doesn’t make us safer.

Trump says this stuff surrounded by Republican leaders in Congress who are clutching the new MAGA merch he gave them. They love it. Shameful.
KAITLAN COLLINS: What would say to Epstein survivo---
TRUMP: You are so bad. You are the worst report. No wonder CNN has no ratings. She's a young woman. I don't think I've ever seen you smile. They should be ashamed of you.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”
Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

Typical Tuesday morning ICE cosplay in Minnesota...careful what button you push on the controller...whoops, I mean gun. Scary stuff.
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Trump is the poster child for participation trophy culture. What is worse, he constantly appropriates achievements of others as his own. Sad how people willingly buy into and celebrate this malignant narcissist whose only accomplishment is sowing chaos and hate…can he get a trophy for that???
When a global star like Bad Bunny is blasted for performing at the Super Bowl, you’re not watching culture: you’re watching resentment politics in peak form.

Wow, as a Minnesotan I used to like her work on NFL broadcasts and it continues to baffle me how these types of people willingly shit on their legacy. Spoiler, I am not getting paid to love my neighbors and peacefully protest. She is either a useful idiot or a liar if she really believes this.

It not just that they have no shame about lying. It’s that they have no shame about looking absolutely ridiculous when they do.
Tom Emmer lies about his own constituents: "If you go to my state, the pictures you're seeing of these mobs in Minneapolis, these are paid agitators and protesters. Yeah, you got some Minnesotan anarchists that are in there, but they are people coming from outside our state."
