I honestly believe that Dickwad Donnie is potentially more evil than any other evil person who came before him. It’s not totally clear yet, but I think it will be soon.

ICE is not any part of what the United States has ever stood for. (It's very much a part of what the Confederate States stood for. It's an attempt to resurrect the Ghosts of Losers.)
Tomorrow, on substack.probablecause.media I will explain this more fully.

The president who watched Jan. 6 violence on TV and responded to Kevin McCarthy's desperate call from inside the Capitol with "well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you" doesn't think death threats against anyone even a little in his way is a bad thing?
Huh.

More escalation of violence against Jews:
After violent attacks on Jews in Colorado, Pennsylvania, DC & San Francisco, now, in Australia, a synagogue set on fire with Jews inside & an ambush at an Israeli restaurant with death chants.
It’s a direct result of the normalization of antisemitism.

I have friends who say they’re glad these people are out in the open now “so we know who they are.” I prefer when they were afraid to come out from under their rocks.
Why can't the most loathsome, evil, and shitty people just disappear through the ages, instead of being incessantly reincarnated? They're like pernicious monsters that cause the human race only to devolve.
