I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

No. Just be transparent and compliant. I feel for the POs who are navigating this confusing EO too. Also wait and see for September when the new structure is unveiled.

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

I never want to hear the word “beautiful” or the word “big” or the words “big & beautiful” used together ever again. Trump throws these around and in his parlance they mean awful, corroded, horrible, ruined, devastating, stupid, and on and on.

This is big and beautiful.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.
