The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just a fucking lunatic.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

The Trump regime's war on Christianity continues, as regime troops attacks Americans across the United States and rounds up majority Christian immigrants, they've also targeted religious leaders.

Here the Trump regime ICE forces shot a pastor in the head in the latest attack on civilians.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

SCREECHY "PAMNESIA" BONDI THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING SO CLEVER YESTERDAY, BUT ALL SHE DID WAS REMIND EVERYONE THAT DONALD TRUMP HAS A DEAD PEDO BESTIE PROBLEM. I EXPLAIN THIS IN WHAT MANY SAY IS A TREMENDOUS POST — A POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. THANK YOU FOR ATTENTION. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3L0i4tT

at the end of the day, however, Pam Bondi did herself no favors. nor did she do Dear Leader any favors. all she accomplished was to remind everyone that there’s a cover-up going on, at the highest levels of government — to prevent the public from finding out just what ‘wonderful secrets’ Donny and his dead pedo bestie were getting up to, all those years ago.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Bondi also wouldn’t answer whether she’d seen photos of Trump in the Epstein files around half naked girls, as a witness alleged they’d seen. She must resign.

Tweet from Acyn showing a quote exchange:
Padilla: “Do you believe government officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not?”
Bondi: “I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump.”
Padilla: “I asked a simple yes or no question.”

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.
