There's a story in today's Washington Post about how Republican voters are furious with Trump for softening his stance on kidnapping and murdering American citizens.
These may as well be the same Confederate traitors who tore up the Missouri Compromise.
This does not abate when Trump is gone.

The original Civil War didn't start suddenly at Ft. Sumter in 1861. It festered for decades before devolving into stochastic violence waged by proto-Nazi Southerners. Their heirs now wear masks and ICE badges.
And finally -- FINALLY -- a major Democrat is being honest about what's happening.

It's been a few years since I've posted on this, but it is always important to remember what Fox News is, what the broad ecosystem of fascist media is, and the implications for national politics.

Friendly reminder that not only was Henry Ford a literal, proud fascist, but his ideas were so powerful that Adolph Hitler -- yeah, that one -- had a giant portrait of Henry Ford behind his desk.

Then head over to Marin County, which builds practically no new housing whatsoever -- and now faces a $17 billion bill to save homes and businesses from sea level rise.
That's over $170,000 per home. www.sfchronicle.com/climate/arti...

A reminder: 2026 is the year that Confederate Republican traitors in Congress allocated $160 billion to expand ICE.
The Republican traitors also authorized the money to be used to hire domestic mercenaries -- if ICE hiring goes too slow.
Minneapolis is just the beginning of the beginning.

Nobody's going to stop the experiment, we're talking about the car industry here. What's going to happen:
Dishonest marketing by AV companies will steadily erode trust to the point where, if and when they have evidence to support claims, they'll then have to spend years convincing carmakers.
