Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

It's not winking. It's fully embracing it, posting it from its social media accounts and website, and now using Nazi slogans.

The Trump administration can’t stop winking at white nationalists
The government is recruiting ICE agents with (literal) neo-Nazi propaganda.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

If you’re wondering: has People magazine’s coverage of Trump’s second presidency been pissing him off, per our sources: yes, the literal president has noticed and he’s not pleased, particularly the framing and repeated coverage of his health.

Why is Trump asking for grand jury testimony?
1. Because he knows it’s unlikely to be released and then he can blame the judge
2. Because that testimony is restricted to charges against Epstein and Maxwell and is unlikely to name clients
3. Because it generates delay and confusion.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.
