Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.

What is blatantly obvious is the tRump is deteriorating...and not really running anything unless it's a grift.

Miller, Bought, Vance, and Bannon are doing all they can , behind the scenes, whilst they still can...wrecking the US

They are the culprits, they are the criminals

Go for them!!!

Expanding the Supreme Court and reforming it should be a major talking point for any serious Democrat who seeks higher office.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

So the US wants" the collection of social media information, the new document proposes the gathering of an applicant's telephone numbers and email addresses used over the last five and 10 years respectively, and more information about their family members" of UK visitors.

Trump only enriches himself.
He couldn't give a rat's ass how America fares in the proccess.

tRump insulted Europe describing it "as decaying and weak...they don't know what to do" and spewed out Putin's dialogue.
In reality tRump describes himself.
When is the US population going to realise he's grifted himself millions of $, is not interested in politics or humanity, and selling them out

Repubs don't have an alternative Health Care Plan
They don't want one
They don't care if people die. It's not their problem- they don't care about people worse off than themselves
And they call themselves Christians?
I call them selfish & cruel, & stupid for voting for tRump,Vance,Miller,Vought

If it's true that the Paramount bid for Warner is financially covered by Trumps son in law and foreign countries like Qatar etc, then that should automatically push everyone to support the Netflix bid
tRump family and monied friends should not be allowed near this event!!!

Love this - "Imagine if the EU had issued a paper saying that its strategic priority is the breakup of the US into 50 separate states, and we will support the ‘healthy’ ones in the south and the east, because Europeans believe that America has lost its civilizational values"

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

* Trump has already removed the bulk of the oil sanctions he put on Putin.
* Kushner & Witkoff meet with Putin & snub Ukraine by skipping a follow-up.
* Putin rejects Trump's peace plan.
* Putin launches massive drone attack.

Trump is a likely Russian asset & US traitor.
