I swear maybe once a decade in public, and this is the moment. This fucking racist and all the gibbering racists nodding along behind him are the ruination of our country. Our fucking job for the next fucking year is to fucking destroy them in the next election. Fuck them.
Trump, continued: "What the Somalian people have done to Minnesota is not even believable. It’s not even believable. And a lot of it starts with the governor. A lot of it starts with Barack HUSSEIN Obama, because that’s when people started coming in... They want to kiss our country good night."

This. I hate the use of the word "famine" - it's deliberate starvation, not a natural event. (See also "honour killing". No honour in murder.)
John is more than a comedian. He's a voice of reason with a sense of humour. More backbone than anyone in power.

This. In 2020 they targeted journos and medics.
They've always done this to protestors and journos alike - always. Several journos were blinded during BLM protests.

Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.

This time 5 years ago I was living in Downtown Seattle; all that distinguishes these lovely people from those that rode in then in their big ass trucks to attempt to intimidate protestors is the lack of Hawaiian shirts.
