After Josh Shapiro’s residence was attacked, in April, the governor didn’t say much publicly about how the threat on his life had affected his relationship to politics. But, behind the scenes, he was ruminating on a new reality of holding elected office in the U.S.

Does anyone have that sharpie tool where we can name every one of the people smiling, nodding, or even standing silently as Trump unloads this racist attack?
Because I can see a future in which a lot of people will be saying, “I wasn’t there.”

Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

The GOP used to at least pretend not to be so blatantly racist, and would get angry if you accused them of being racist. Now people like Rich Lowry just don't give a shit any more and will proudly tell you how racist they are.

Trump claims “any document” signed by Joe Biden is “hereby terminated.”
He calls out executive orders later but obviously “any document” would be much broader and include legislation.
(He can’t legally do that but, as always, we get to watch how far he can push this without repercussions)
