Someday soon, he'll get his parade. We'll ALL watch it. The whole world will remember where they were. The cheering and applause will be insane. We'll have tears in our eyes, and there will be commemorative merchandise.
It will be the best funeral ever.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

The nominee to take over the FBI has publicly published a list of innocent Americans he plans to target if given the power. This is more important than finger wagging about norms and traditions.
@timmiller.bsky.social published Kash Patel's "Executive Branch Deep State" list, originally an appendix to his "Government Gangsters" book, and posted it on xitter.
50+ current and former officials who Patel intends to target.
I'm on it, for my 3 months of government service.

The appointment of Stephen Miller as Trump’s deputy chief of staff is an ominous sign of how extreme the Trump White House will get. Miller’s core focus has been immigration policy. He will oversee illegal deportations, asylum seeker expulsions, and anti-immigration policy.
