Historians many years from now will look back and wonder why we did not as a nation receive over 70% of his public statements as shockingly obvious signs of a profound mental illness

i don't think this is even a real statistical anomaly anymore. it seems like there's someone in the crowd at every mass shooting who has been through it before. this doesn't have to be our shared cultural experience.

If the photos are too gross to release, they need to be described.
Garcia: "Just last night we received about 95,000 photographs from the Epstein estate. We've gone through maybe about 25,000 of them so far ... we will continue to put out more photos in the days and weeks ahead."

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

January 6th 2020, terrorists committing terrorism against democracy.
All because a mentally ill man couldn’t accept the result of an election.
Now that man is back in power acting more irrational than ever.
The scary part, he’s surrounded by wimps in the congress who let him destroy democracy.
