Miller hates the majority of Americans.
genuinely, first time i have ever seen a politician tell old white people to eat shit
Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

Kash Patel plays pretend FBI, Pam Bondi cashes in her ethics, JD Vance bends like a wet flag in the wind… and Dan Bongino? Probably sulking in a corner somewhere.

HAPPENING NOW: Appeals court judges raise immediate skepticism about whether President Trump had the power to impose sweeping and broad-based tariffs under his emergency powers.
"IEEPA doesn’t mention the word tariffs anywhere," one judge noted.

“Running the government like a business” is just another way of saying that we should privatize government services afforded to everyone.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Standard procedure for new management. If you can't do anything, or don't know how to do anything, you rename stuff.
They're holding a ceremony to rename Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg.
Food prices are rising. The stock market is tanking. But this is the Trump administration's priority.
