Homeland Security was the reason Joseph, Mary, and Jesus had to flee to Egypt.
It’s funny: haven’t been to church in yrs, don’t know what to make of my relationship to religion, but somehow still know enough, & still identify enough as Christian, even if just culturally, to find this shit so deeply, personally, viscerally offensive to the teachings of the faith I grew up with

These are the dots that aren't being connected: Trump solicited a $1B campaign donation from big oil. The “getting land, oil rights, whatever we had,” refers to Hugo Chavez nationalizing Venezuela's oil industry. Trump is taking the US to war because of a campaign contribution.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Announcing the Friday Office Pool: what excuses will the administration give for NOT releasing the Epstein Files?

This bears repeating. A significant amount of my tax dollars are going into the pokets of Trump and his oligarch buddies. I'm pissed!
Behind the absolutely unhinged delivery there is a simple truth: Trump’s corruption is helping his friends and family while things are getting worse for you and yours.
He’s failing you because he doesn’t care about you.

If Biden were so bad, why does Trump keep stealing his achievements?
All Trump and his cronies know how to do is steal then lie about it.

Don’t forget LBJ and the war on poverty. If the Dems could just divorce themselves from wall street and dirty money, grow a spine and a set of cajones, and walk the walk, that’d be super.

Now on the night the two National Guardsmen were shot in DC, we know nothing about the motive. So I'm going to speculate. The police chief said it was targeted. What if the shooter were targetting a particlar National Guardsman rather than just any National Guardsman. What if this was personal?
