I think this is the bell that hasn’t rung. Kudos to them for doing it, I guess.

But the issue is much broader. Everything Trump does is offensive to Christianity. Trump/Miller view Christians as a cult to be led and not a restraint on ambition. So far, they’ve been right.
Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."
Catholic Vice President Vance takes to social media to justify killing of Renee Good

this isn’t a bad editorial board piece but—no they are not. Law is often quite bad and never coextensive with political morality. You shouldn’t turn your moral sense off because someone found a plausibly relevant OLC opinion. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

Even if Vance’s claims were accurate, it’s a losing msg. Only the darkest souls would delight in the idea they got a choice apartment because Trump deported the people. People want to believe they are responsible for their own success.

Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean.

Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified.

No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing.

President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

I'd thought it would be some other creepy ones but also mostly boring generic birthday wishes. It is so much more damning that it's filled with dozens of others who knew exactly what was up, participated, thought it was hilarious, and understood this was the deliberate theme of the whole project.
