"stop calling us Nazis!" But they clearly identify as Nazis.

Can someone just ask why he doesn't go to Portland and see for himself?

I have lost the thread on deportations- are they flying people out- to where? Are people getting their due process hearings? Did the hairdresser from Miami get out of El Salvador? What's been enjoined by the courts? What's the status of contempt proceedings?

And it is demoralizing - that's all they do now- show up and attack and lie, and the senators are powerless, and there are no consequences

In reading a discourse on fascism, it was noted that the public lying and arrogance takes on a new role- demoralizing the opposition by showing they can act this way with no consequences. It becomes a deliberate exercise to demonstrate their power.

Miller is becoming the most dangerous person in the regime. This is insane rhetoric, akin to the worst in Nazi Germany as they went after communists, socialists, Jews and all the others. This man desperately wants to get to his end game- arresting, imprisoning, killing anyone who opposes the regime

You know, the Nazis promised allied planes would never bomb Berlin. Then they did. The next day, as people came out and saw the bomb damage, Nazi media said there were planes, but no bombs were dropped. They kept that up for awhile, until people basically ignored them

In the before times, the government understood that basic medical care to everyone despite their ability to pay/legal status benefited the public. Diseases like drug resistant TB were identified, treated, and stopped from spreading. Death and disability were prevented. It was humane and moral.

In all likelihood maga will ruin everything- the Ryder cup, the superbowl, the Olympics, the world cup. Seems they've decided to really lean into the whole "ugly American" stereotype.

Well, if you've got the time, they've got the beer (behold the power of advertising - I haven't had a miller in more than 40 years, but the jingle is embedded in my brain)
