Inside an ICE facility, women talked about the men whose 911 calls landed them there — the boyfriends or husbands who had beat them, choked them, threatened deportation. “I had suffered from domestic violence,” one woman said. “But the one who ended up in trouble was me.”
How about y’all stay the fuck out. We’ll make sure to make your lives hell again if you bring your gravy gestapo back here.
Markwayne Mullin on the Twin Cities: "They're gonna have to ask President Trump for help, and if they do, we can come up and we can clean that city up in no time, but they're gonna have to admit they were wrong first"
This is the exact same behavior that ISIS engages in. Pete Hegseth has more in common with terrorist regimes than he does with the western world as he loves to claim.
History is repeating itself. Under Trump, the US has fallen from a Republic to an imperium in which the masses are kept entertained. Like the circuses of Ancient Rome, Trump provided carnival entertanment with his rallies. Now they are progressing to public executions as entertainment.

The next administration, if there is one, must hold these murderers accountable. We need justice from top to bottom. Prosecute the leadership behind this and everyone involved. Throw the fucking book at them.

It’s remarkable that Trump can say this as bluntly and candidly as possible, but if any other candidate made a statement that could be interpreted as being in the same spirit as what Trump said, that would be the last thing you would hear from that candidate.
Trump on saying he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation: "It's a perfect statement. I'll make it again. Everybody agrees."
We need to pay close attention to Hungary here in the US. Hoping we get politicians with some fucking backbone after Trump is gone.
Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar went on Orbán's state TV today for the first time in 18 months: "This factory of lies will end once the Tisza govt is formed... What has been going on here since 2010, which even Goebbels or the North Korean dictator would have been envious of, cannot continue."

"Love won today, because love always wins" Péter Magyar, Budapest, #Hungary. So true. www.bbc.com/news/live/c2...
So happy for Hungary! Authoritarianism shrinks in Europe today. If only we could get it right here in the US. We have an over-the-top cartoon villain as president and we made the wrong choice 😡
Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

If any other president had pardoned - pardoned! - a man like this, they would have probably been impeached by now. Trump gets away with this kind of gross shit, day after day: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

We need a vehicle weight tax. If you can justify buying an $80k, 3,000 kg Wagoneer to haul one bag of groceries, taxpayers shouldn't be subsidizing your pavement wear and tear plus the added danger to our streets. If you can afford the payments, you can afford to stop asking society to subsidize it.
