Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.

It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.

Treating government claims as true, or even as good-faith assertions, without underlying evidence is and has always been malpractice, and it’s good to see so many veteran DC journalists acknowledging that in the year 2026.
The Department of Homeland Security and the officials who lead it cannot be trusted to provide good-faith, accurate information about what they are doing and any claims they make should be considered in that context. www.ms.now/opinion/kris...

MAGA, in its psychopathic cult haze, can't see that they have mobilized the majority against Trump and his cronies.
The majority is repulsed by ICE murdering Renee Nicole Good and then slandering her in death.
We also haven't forgotten the Epstein Files and Trump's disastrous economic policies.

"How do we know Trump is serious? 'One way or another,' the president crowed in his speech to a Joint Session of Congress last month, 'we’re gonna get it.' A few weeks later, in case anyone missed the point, Trump told NBC: 'We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100 percent.'”
I warned us all last spring to take seriously that this deeply unstable president wasn't kidding about Greenland.

These are the same people who would do mass shootings and/or join the Proud Boys. They just have uniforms now and governmental approval.
The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.
He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.
The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.
They hate women & it shows.

Abolish Homeland Security.
ICE has only existed since 2003. A Bush-era creation, it is a militarized federal secret police that has been imbued with the Supreme Court with the unconstitutional power to ignore the fourth amendment.
Abolishing it and salting the earth where it grew is the moderate stance.
