These fucks are white supremacist terrorists. Absolutely insane giving a world where all economies will soon be dependent on immigrants to sustain their labor force. These fucks are crawling into a hole.

People within 10 years of their life expectancy should not be allowed to vote or make policy regarding the climate. Can't wait until they're all dead. It'll be soon.

WAPO today said the Epstein docs released last week "did not describe any criminal wrongdoing by Trump."
Weasel words.
Yes, Trump is not a "mandated reporter" like a nurse, school teacher, or soccer coach, but HE KNEW AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
That is wrongdoing.
Shame on WAPO.

Rather than tell us SCOTUS's embrace of gerrymandering means the functional end of democracy and an era of shocking fascism - or states seceding or civil war - they invite us to play a mini-golf game.
Something happened there recently to dumb down Trump's fascism. This takes the cake.

He tells them this because they allow immigrants, and he’s saying this to a world where fertility rates are falling and will continue to fall. Most nations will be competing for immigrants to sustain their labor force, and the US will be at the end of the line.

"DHS says ICE officers are facing an 830 percent increase in assaults."
This is BAD MATH.
If only 1 ICE guy was assaulted per day in the past, and now 8 get a hoagie thrown at them, that's an 800% increase. But WAPO doesn't explain this and ICE doesn't provide the baseline. + they deserve it.
