They all had bone spurs.
Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Board of Peace can’t stay out of war with its famously polite neighbor.
Trump: “Dear Prime Minister Carney:
 
Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada’s joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time.
 
Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

No seriously though the Amy Chua ethos is that if you have an unregenerate Nazi you get them that Alito clerkship because that’s more prestige for you and your school and then you can get more Nazis more Alito clerkships.
Big thanks to Amy Chua
JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."

The Florida Bar says Matt Gaetz, who is a Republican, remains an attorney in good standing.
Trump: "Jack Smith is a deranged animal, who shouldn’t be allowed to practice Law. If he were a Republican, his license would be taken away from him, and far worse! Hopefully the AG is looking at what he’s done ... A big price should be paid"

Republican politicians have decided that a dictatorship will give them more money and power than a democracy. That's their simple, traitorous calculation.

Just before ICE murdered Renee Good, they accused her of changing the license plates on her car while following them.

Every Republican Accusation is a Confession.™️

And yes, ICE is a military arm of the Republican Party.
Okay this is fucking ridiculous.

ICE is using the same paper plate on FIVE DIFFERENT CARS. This photo was taken by Harbor Area Peace Patrol, which monitors activity at Terminal Island for Los Angeles and surrounding areas.

No local gov't has held ICE accountable for this shit. #FuckICE

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

I would take credit for having predicted this about how they’d use MLK, but it was such an easy one that it’s hard to even call it a prediction.
Matt Taibbi criticizes the ICE protests in Minneapolis, and says Martin Luther King Jr. would not have approved of them.

Taibbi claims MLK would not support "guilt because of racial identity" or "bringing religion into it".

Allowing swing-district Democrats to vote for DHS funding so as not to look "anti-law enforcement" feeds into the false narrative that ICE is enforcing laws rather than breaking them. It is an organized crime syndicate. prospect.org/2026/01/21/j...

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.
Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
