Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

He's obsessed with renaming things because he doesn't have any of his own accomplishments -- at least not positive ones. He's piggybacking on the reputation of others like JFK. But, all he's really doing is drawing more attention to the fact he's a losing loser.

If his stupid hurt him as much as it hurts the rest of us, he'd cut it out.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

It's a fair assumption.
Every redaction in the Trump–Epstein files is either an image of Donald Trump or about him. Prove me wrong.

Not okay. I hope it's not okay with MAGA.
🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.
See for yourself.

Until we can see the document, we have to assume it's Trump. Otherwise, why redact?

Good questions.
Two questions:
1. If Trump via executive order changed the name of the country to “The United States of Trump,” would anyone be surprised?
2. And if he did do that, would any Republican or any conservative media talking head condemn it or try to stop it?
Be honest.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.
Two options:
1) ICE deliberately targeted him.
2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.
Hard to say which option is scarier.
