Trump will back down soon and claim he negotiated a winning deal. Most of these farmers will vote keep voting R and decrying "socialism" and welfare.

Consider doing journalism rather than propaganda for the regime. How on Earth did you decide to run this picture?

Trump just ordered his secret police to arrest anyone who burns the flag and imprison them for a year. Stephen Miller just issued new threats to arrest leftists.

Every time the fascism escalates, the logic should be that Dem resistance stiffens, as Sen Chris Murphy says in our pod discussion:

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance.

Are we seeing who can tell the most outrageous lies? That is a good effort right there.

Socialism is bad when they do it, good when we do it (although we will object to it while we take the cash).

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.

The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

"They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.'"

DeWine is the opposite of a leader. Feckless. In the end, did not even try to deliver on his promises about fair maps.
