I’ve heard lots of dumb ideas, but the idea that people supported Trump because Biden refused to invade Israel as an ally of hamas is way up there. Biden should have done more, but the election was a binary choice and Harris would have been drastically better for the Palestinians.

You should be apologizing to every single person being brutalized by ICE because you helped put an authoritarian maniac in charge of our country.

But we still must be there. And we must refuse to be provoked in any way - no violence, and live cameras & video everywhere. They cannot arrest millions of people. And millions of people need to be out there if we have any hope of being heard. Democratic Governors should call up their state national guard to protect the rights of all people from any interference, harassment or violence by Fed Agents. The threats are starting to be made publicly against the American people by Republican Politicians in the US Congress and the Administration against American's participating in the NO Kings Protest. We are not Terrorists - We are the American People. And we will protest peacefully, as we have every right to do. We all know from the last protest how to prevent troublemakers from provoking violence. If someone tries to start something, we move away, we sit down. (or we can turn up the music and dance) Because this is still the United States of America; and as Americans we still have our Constitutional Rights and Responsibilities.

I am sure you feel an incredible amount of satisfaction seeing countless innocent Americans dealing with the "accountability" for your decision to support Trump as they are being beaten or illegally arrested by ICE.

No, you fucked up by supporting an authoritarian criminal who is in favor of the extermination of the Palestinian people and all of their land being annexed by Israel.

The election was a binary choice. A fascist criminal who previously attempted a coup to remain in power against a woman who was one of the most qualified candidates in history. Harris would have been millions of times better for the Palestinian people than the authoritarian lunatic.

Trump's brain is addled. Much more likely Stephen Miller is playing videos of riots in Portland 5 years ago on loop for Trump and telling him its all happening now.

Platforming right-wing kooks like this is a terrible idea. At the very least, they should have pointed out this guy's white supremacist views were shared by Charlie Kirk, who also argued black Americans were better off under slavery than they are today.

You and your ilk worked relentlessly to help Trump win. The protest movement suppressed Democratic turnout which made the difference across the swing states. If you end up in one of Noem's DHS concentration camps in the Dakota tundra, hopefully your moral superiority keeps you warm.

Ross Douthat treats this guy like they're having some deep conversation about the relationship of Christianity and the government, but the dude is a garden-variety dull, shallow, hateful, worthless bigot with nothing interesting to say, just endless riffs on "God hates everything/everyone I do."

Douthat: So that’s the first purpose of your political project, for America to stop making God angry.

Wilson: Yes. And most people think that when they are confronted with that project, they think that we want to get our tentacles into everything and start controlling everything. I actually think we need limited government. The government should be significantly smaller than it is, and we need to curtail a lot of the busybodyness that we have. That’s why I would call myself a theocratic libertarian. There is a true libertarian element in this, and yet, the transcendent grounding for what we’re talking about means that we acknowledge the authority of God.

We have racked up quite a body count of awful crimes, and I believe the only way out is for us to repent and turn to Christ. This would be things like no more Pride parades, no more drag queen story hours, no more abortion on demand, no more legalized same-sex unions — all of that, done. That’s the repentance part.

You must be filled with pride by your efforts to help Trump win the election. When Trump and Kushner turn Gaza City into a Trump resort, I hope you can submit some of your anti-Biden takes to get a free week's stay.

Hamas killed 1,100 people in the 10/7 attack, but you think Biden could have just invaded and prevented Israel from retaliating? Brilliant analysis. Biden should have cut off weapons shipments after it was clear Netanyahu was going to show zero restraint and he should have gotten more aid in.

Kristy Noem is a dog assassin so it makes sense she’d order her thugs to murder American citizen’s dogs whenever they had an opportunity.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

This is what Trump would have you believe. The top photo is from "war ravaged" Portland. The bottom is a "day of love" on J6.

Bennie Johnson is a traitor. Speaks volumes about the sad state of the Republican Party that social media influencers exposed for being on Putin’s payroll to spread Russian propaganda are still highly respectful members of the right-wing media and de facto policy advisers.

Agreed. The media should be covering this as a crisis on par with 9/11. It's honestly far worse given that Bin Laden was never an existential threat to the basic rights enjoyed by every American citizen or to the survival of our country as a democracy.

Come on @chicagotribune.com, you can write a better headline to accurately frame this. "WGN producer assaulted by ICE agents for exercising the basic rights of all American citizens."

If Biden had done this, fox would be running 9/11 style coverage of how the US was going to be under Islamic military occupation and sharia law was being implemented nationwide.
